The good news - the market is completely saturated with computer speakers that offer quality sound.
If you're looking to bypass your laptop speaker and take your audio experience to the next level, you should consider investing in a small or portable desktop speaker to pick up the slack. These built-in speakers aren't ideal for listening to music or watching videos - they can only play so loud and tend to be seriously lacking in the bass department. Laptops have a small speaker or two with some sound output, but it's not exactly full, rich stereo sound. When you buy a computer - whether it's a desktop or laptop - good sound is one of the things that's typically missing.
