what type of cd player should I buy to go with this lap top?

Any usb cd/dvd player should work. If you havn't already bought a U530? DON'T!!! Mine lasted 5 months and is now nothing more than parts. The hinge attachment to the lid is extremely easy to break and unless you wait patiently and pay a lot for a used one? You're done because due to high breakage, even Lenovo is out of stock permanently.

There is a cd player built into the top. It goes in like a piece of bread in a toaster on the top.

No, this laptop is in a class called "Ultrabook," there is no drive for playing CDs or DVDs.

so, when you want to load programs from cd's, can you connect with a usb to a desk top or another laptop with dvd/cd capabilities?

If it has a usb slot you can buy an external cd/dvd drive and load it that way. You can buy one on ebay for about $20.

It was a gift, so I don't know. Honestly, I do not think that any cd players do what you are interested.

yes I believe turntable with a usb connection will work just fine. the older styled one's may not as the inputs may not be ont the system. I really like this stereo for I can play cd's and not have to change them so often. Hope this helps

I would invest in a DVD/CD USB drive for installation. Be sure to have all the drivers available on a flashdrive.

I got mine installed by Best Buy technicians. ..sounds great...better than Cd..Check with them to make sure it will work

Any and all CD players would work. Just use an Aux cable to go from the CD player's headphone port to the Pyle-Pro. All of the holes on the front of the Pyle-Pro are inputs. A headphone port is an output.

About this comment; "CD's sound decent but near as good as a system meant to play them"...is there a device I might purchase to play CDs on this system so that they sound great...not just decent?

This computer only has a DVD player/burner. If you want to burn cd's you'll half to buy an external cd burner.

You have to add an external USB based CD/DVD drive. Lenovo makes one, there are many others as well that will work.

If you have a bunch of old records that you can't get on Cd or MP3, and you just want to listen to them, get the model with the built in pre-amp. You will also then be able to put them on your computer. But if you are looking for a vinyl based system that beats cds, mp3s etc, then you'll need a higher end turntable, cartridge etc. Otherwise you're better off plugging your Ipod straight into your amp!

I recommend you to use the installation CD, however, you can just plug it and play.

Yes, this laptop comes with Multiformat DVDRW/CD-RW drive. You can play CD or DVD.
