Logitech Tablet Speaker is great for laptops too.

Let's face it. Most laptops don't have the best speaker system, especially the more budget oriented items. I think that computer manufacturers assume that you will be using headphones anyway most of the time. I don't find earphones all that comfortable and prefer to use the speaker system but some laptops have mediocre speakers and need something with more volume and/or quality sound. You might want a speaker for a smaller room or a small group presentation. You don't want to pull the big guns out with all the wires and such. So here is a great speaker for you to use that is really reasonable in price. It is the Logitech Tablet Speaker that is around $25 to $30. It is so convenient because of it's size and shape and it's small so it easily can fit in a travel bag (dimensions are around 6"x9"x2"). When in use it clips to the back of a laptop or tablet so it is out of the way. The sound is clear and full-ranging (for a speaker that size). The older model required a USB port so it couldn't be used in an iPad. The newer model has just an audio cable to plug into the headphone port on the tablet or laptop and a chargeable battery. Since it so easily connects to the source, there is no need to have a bluetooth connection. And, because it is not bluetooth, it is cheaper. Bottom line is it is cheap, great for use in smaller groups or by yourself.
