What are the most recent ThinkPad T-Series that had an optical drive available? Is there anything more recent than T440p or T440? I am more interested in 14-inch displays instead of larger screens.

After searching around I didn't find anything definitive. (Maybe I'm just blind.)

The T440p was the last one (and it will remain the last one I think).

Thanks. Is it mostly the same story for 15-inch T-Series units? I understand the DVD drive disappeared into the Sky Lake.

Yes, the T540p was also the last.

Of the current systems only L560/L570 as well as P70 and P71 feature an optical disk drive.

Does T540, 550, 560 and 570 use socket CPU or BGA CPU?
Did Intel stop making PGA CPUs starting with broadwell?
