Best Computer Speakers for Laptops

Choosing the best set of speakers for your laptop can depend on your habits and preferences. Are you using the laptop as a primary computer, plugged into an external monitor for use as a "desktop" computer? Or is it something you only use on the go? What you use your laptop for will determine what set of speakers are best for you.

If you use your laptop when you travel, go to work, & go to class, but not much for serious desktop or home use, look for a set with just 2 smaller portable speakers. These speakers don't need to be especially powerful, but make sure the dimensions will be easy to pack and lug around with you when you're on the move.

If you use the laptop a lot at home and as a desktop "hub", then take a look at some more powerful, multi speaker units, especially those with subwoofers. These allow you to enjoy movies and gaming with intense sound. Look for maximum wattage and frequency range within your budget. Make sure that the set comes with a single cable connection (universal on all laptops, the headphone jack), or that laptop's sound card has the appropriate connectivity to accommodate the speaker set.
