Is there a built-in optical reader for non-Blu Ray dvds/cds?

No DVD or optical reader - that's going to require an external CD/DVD or Blu-Ray device.

I own this device. It can burn to CD's and DVD's (CDR/CDRW/DVDR+-/DVDRW+-, it CANNOT burn to Bluray (BDR/BDRW), but it can READ Bluray discs.

This model does not. If you want a Blu-Ray reader, you need to order it from SONY's website...

Yes , it has both, you can play any DVD/Blue Ray Disc or even Divx, and same apply to the USB port, where you can play mostly any kind of files

Yes it's both reads DVDs and CDs, it's a nice little machine and worth the price, it's not as sleek as the actual Apple SuperDrive but it's a start. Blurays play fine on it

Tried a blue ray disc in mine and it did not play. So, no I believe it does not have a blue ray disc reader. But you cans till get High definition videos from the internet or some other site and it plays very well with the HDMI port to a HD tv.

No, it has a DVD SuperMulti drive. It will play DVDs, but not Blu-ray discs.

The standard optical drive is a dvd/cd, it does not have blu ray support but you can install one that does. It will come with a battery and AC Adapter.

There is no disc reader. It's too skinny for one. I bought a good external one for cheap.

Not out of the box. It has no cd drive. You would need to buy a external blu ray drive

Not as it is, for it lacks an optical drive. You can separately buy an usb DVD burner, as I did.

There is no optical drive in this laptop. You can get a cheap USB DVD/CD combo drive for somewhere around $30. Make sure that you take that into consideration when comparing prices, if having an optical drive is important to you. You can try this option from Samsung, but there are definitely other options out there: Samsung USB 2.0 Ultra Portable External DVD Writer Model SE-218CB/RSBS

I suppose you arent being funny because there is a fairly good description on amazon It plays blu ray discs besides DVDs and also media files stored on a USB drive such as mp3, mp4, wmv, avi & jpgs.

No I'm afraid the Bluray itself is READ only. But it can burn DVDs and CDs. At least with all the various video editing software I have on mine---none of them recognizes a blank Bluray as useable.

No, it is only a Blu-Ray reader, won't write to Blu-Ray. It does write to DVD-/+R, and of course CD-R as well.

YES - I use the drive for read/rewrite/write for Blu-ray & DVD. I have not had any need to utalize a CD so that is a ?

Unfortunately, no. There was one in the previous model however. Get one of those if an optical drive is critical to your requirements. I use a portable hard disc drive as a substitute.
