Re: Laptops and Their Speakers
I realize that most people seem to use laptops now in place of desktop PC's, but it seems to defeat the purpose of the portability to have to drag along external speakers if I'm on vacation and want to listen to music via the computer or to watch a DVD. 
It just seems a shame that Dell, for example, allows you to customize almost every aspect of the computer and dramatically improve the basic offering, yet the speakers are a throwaway item.
I think that Toshiba that I had had a sub-woofer on the bottom. That's probably what made the difference in the sound that I remember.

I use my Sennheiser PX-100 headphones with my HP dv7t and what a difference it makes.
Sound quality without headphones is not bad either after playing around with the EQ.
Does your Dell have a Software EQ UI for the speakers?

| Get a good set of headphones as others suggested.
I bought three pairs of the PX-100 because they are inexpensive and sounds great on my notebook, mp3 player, and surround receiver.
Like anything else they will eventually disappear so get a pair or two well you can IMO.
