Choosing a laptop with good sound

Hello. Buying a laptop, we often assign tasks to it as a full-fledged device. Fortunately, the current level of technology allows compact devices to work just like their full-size counterparts. But, if the processors and video cards in laptop computers have long been at the level of full-size desktops, the sound often leaves much to be desired. By reading this article, you will learn how to choose the right laptop not only by production parameters, but also by sound. I'll tell you what parameters are responsible for good sound, what you should pay attention to. You will learn about the advantages of some technologies and the uselessness of others.

Before we start talking about specific laptops, I would like to provide you with a little theory. To make it easier for you to understand what we are talking about.

The first thing worth mastering is what sound is. To simplify it as much as possible, sound is mechanical waves. The easiest way to imagine sound is as waves on water, only in the air. We see them, we don’t feel them, but we hear them. Sound waves, like waves on water, break against obstacles and lose their strength.
The main conclusion from my words is that the further the source is from us, the worse it is audible. Turn on music in the bedroom and go to the kitchen, you won't hear it as well as you should.
Accordingly, translating the topic of sound into the plane of laptops, we can say that one of the important indicators in terms of sound quality is the location of the speakers themselves. If the speakers are hidden in the case, if they are located somewhere on the bottom or somewhere else, you will not get good sound.
The laptop speakers should be located on the top or side of the device. Only with this arrangement you will get the correct and high-quality sound of the device. This is the only way the sound will not be distorted.

Oh, what an interesting thing is drawn on top, isn't it? This is a sound card. This means that we will talk about the initial “power” of sound.
Simple laptop models do not have sound cards. They are usually mounted directly to the motherboard and they work very mediocre. In devices with such equipment, you will not get loud sound, clear high frequencies, or deep bass. The sound, like the sound card, will be very mediocre.

When choosing a laptop with good sound, you should pay attention to the presence of a separate sound card. Manufacturers love to praise their equipment, which means that such information will always be indicated on a specific model. A good sound card is the basis of good sound. It is responsible for the quality of reproduced sounds. It will give you the opportunity to hear both high frequencies and deep bass, without distorting anything and giving you the actual sound of the music.

Good “hardware” inside the device will give you the opportunity to hear when the guitarist played the wrong string or played the wrong note, you will hear the music as it is.



By analogy with sound cards, sound amplifiers and subwoofers can be built into a laptop. They perform the same roles and give you the opportunity to enjoy the sound of your device.

When choosing a laptop with good sound, you should pay attention to the presence of additional equipment, such as sound cards, subwoofers and sound amplifiers - they are fundamental to the correct sound.

At the same time, you need to understand that every bells and whistles require energy, which means that the better the sound, the more energy it needs. Make sure you have a laptop with a good battery if you don't want it to turn off halfway through the movie.



And one last piece of advice regarding sound. If you're tired of the sound of your old laptop, you don't have to buy a new one. You can save a lot by purchasing a portable subwoofer or portable sound card. These devices connect to your laptop and significantly improve its sound quality. At the same time, they have their own body and look very neat.

The only downside is that in addition to a laptop computer, you also have to carry an amplifier with you. But this is no longer so convenient and contradicts the very idea of ​​portability.



Now that we have finished looking at the main correct characteristics of models with rich sound, we can move on to the second part of the article, in which I will tell you which laptop models deserve attention.



ASUS Pro BU401L will be the first model with which I want to start, I will not talk about the technical aspects of the model - they do not interest us. At the same time, you will get accurate sound characteristics.

I’ll deviate a little from the topic of sound and note that the laptop weighs some 1.64 kg, very pleasant figures. At the same time, the design and “flatness” of the device are no less surprising.



I'm glad that the speakers are located absolutely correctly - on the top panel.



It is worth noting that Asus has been producing computer hardware in general and laptops in particular for quite a long time. At the same time, the company has solid experience in terms of sound. Consider the Asus N750JV model with a subwoofer and probably the best sound among laptops. Asus engineers did not ignore this model, giving it excellent sound in such a thin body. The speakers do not wheeze at full power, and the portable device itself has special software for better sound settings. AudioWizard offers us a choice of different modes: music, movies, sound recording, games and voice enhancement.



ASUS N750JV is the previously mentioned multimedia laptop model. One of the best laptops for sound quality.
It’s worth starting to list the advantages of the model with the fact that the kit already includes a portable subwoofer that can significantly improve the sound quality. But there is nothing strange in this, since the model was originally created with an emphasis on multimedia quality.

One of the big advantages of N series laptops is high-quality sound. ASUS N750JV was no exception and received an excellent sound subsystem. According to established tradition, the laptop is certified by Bang & Olufsen, a Danish company specializing in the production of hi-end audio and video equipment.



SonicMaster Premium is a technology implemented by Asus specialists at the software and physical levels, increasing sound quality to exorbitant heights.
Moreover, the device has as many as 4 speakers, the volume of which is pleasantly surprising.
The Waves MAXXAudio software is already included with the laptop as standard - for more precise sound tuning for each ear.



HP laptops deserve a special recommendation. Their main advantage is full cooperation with BeatsAudio, a world leader in audio technology. This means that in almost every model of this company you can get decent sound.

MSI GX660 - the creation of MSI pleasantly pleases with a pair of strong speakers and a built-in subwoofer. It's convenient and compact, yet you get great sound. To summarize, I would like to note that not all laptops have been named here - there are too many of them to name them all. But at the same time, you received the information that will help you choose the right laptop and not make a mistake. Do not forget to take into account the price tag factor; the most expensive thing is not always the best.
