In order to get truly surround sound from your speakers, you need to feed them either thru digital inputs (TOSLink or coax), or by analogue six-channel (three 3.5mm stereo connectors). I have yet to see a laptop with three analogue outputs, and if it lacks optical/coax audio out, you will have to invest in external 5.1 USB surround card. After spending $400 for speakers, $50 are not that much.

ok... but does that mean that my laptop can still run these? maybe not with best quality but still. i had labtec pulse 285 2.1 speakers before they broke after 5 years of use.

Does you laptop has optical out? If yes - OK, you can still run these. If not - you can, but not at full capacity (eg you will probably hear only two out of five speakers)

so none of these isnt optical output?
1 x Microphone-in/Headphone-out jack
1 x VGA port/Mini D-sub 15-pin for external monitor
1 x USB 3.0 port(s)
2 x USB 2.0 port(s)
1 x RJ45 LAN Jack for LAN insert
1 x HDMI
if they arent is there eny way that i can get those work?

None of these is digital audio output (optical or coax). As I said, $50 "5.1 external USB sound adapter" is what will help - most of them provide for analogue outputs, or optical output. I got this one to connect my analogue 5.1 speakers, but it also has optical in/out ports.

You have also another option, I don't know whether it would be cheaper or not. Get an AV receiver with speakers set, and use HDMI connection to pass audio to the receiver.
