Depends what you want powered or non external powered type?

If it's purely for home use and you have a decent audio set up already in the living room/bedroom/whatever, then just get a lead that goes from the headphone jack of the laptop to the amp. Maplins do them for about £8.

If you don't have a hi fi already in place or you need transportable sound, then no idea. Sorry.

edit: externals will be a piece of pie to connect.

The lap top top is to be used in a spare room but I need a better sound than the standard set up.

I wouldn't even bother with unpowered speakers, you probably wouldn't notice any difference between them and the lappy's internals.

I use these Creative Inspire 280 and I'm pretty chuffed with 'em.

[warped one]

I have a simple 2speaker and amp set up for my laptop.

Both speakers point at my head (About 1foot away.) And the sub is directly behind my head. /it is amazing for films and music, then at night I can plug my phone into them and have a silly loud alarm clock when I get up.

I work for PC world and one of my roles at work is to merchandise products. My big job yesterday was PC speakers, I spend 5 hours opening, setting up and listening to every set of speakers we have in stock. These gave me a shock, they are £20 in store and I think £15 online. For the price they were insane quality. Some of the speakers can sound rediculously tinny and of blatant poor quality. These hold their own with more expensive, well known brands. For that price you can't really go wrong either.

Just wait for the Best Buy (originally from USA) stores to go widespread throughout UK, as they have their Geek Squad of Techs that go out to customers to homes/small or medium sized businesses to install Home entertainment systems and attempt to fix computers on site.

Their stores are HUGE compared to a PC World store. https://www.bestbuy.co.uk/

Just an update on the speakers..

I got some Logitech Z 323's and got them home and set it all up with the I tunes now on my lap top..

Brilliant and the sound is spot on..


PS to Carlo Stevo.. I did look for those speakers in tha Malaga shop but they did'nt have any..

Cheers every one
