Will this work with a laptop? I am a teacher and need good sound for my classroom. Most computer speakers are outrageous. Will this work?

Yes it will work, but I doubt it will be loud enough for a classroom. I really would recommend something larger.

You will need a preamp. The computer does not have enough power to meet minimum specs. I run my laptop through my Denon receiver. Buy an old receiver on CL with at least 100 watts(55 if its a Harmon Kardon). I think these speakers are a great value for money. They sound really good when I run YouTube videos through my laptop. Hope this helps. (see comment from C. Thomas below).Cheers.

This speaker will work with any laptop that offers a USB connection. It can reproduce any sound regardless of source (radio, CD, digital recordings, etc.)

I suspect not as the speaker works exclusively with Bluetooth enabled devices. Unless your laptop is equipped with Bluetooth, this will not work.

Yes but it may not be the best choice. You would have to plug this in your USB and also plug in the audio plug into your laptop. You can get a device that plugs into the USB and connects to the sound through your USB, not through the audio cable. That would be the better way to go. It would be a USB Bluetooth dongle, something like the IOGEAR Bluetooth 4.0 USB Micro Adapter.

Just buy some "computer speakers" and you can plug this in with a mini cable. I purchased some Altec Lansing computer speakers from Walmart for about 25$ and they sound great.

If u plug your speakers into the computer it should. I plug a cheap stereo headset in to the monitor and it has some good sound, also depending on your speakers, u can plug them into the monitor and it will bypas the speakers on the monitor. I havent got to fully experiment with the sound to much. I hope this helps.

It should pair with a laptop in theory. It should also plug into the USB port. I use the speaker to pair with cellphones to play music.

im tired of seeing people say this can only be used with Dell Monitors... thats completely untrue.... i have this exact soundbar, and ALL you need is to get the extra AC power adapter to use it with any other laptop or computer or whatever u want. I have it hooked up to a HP laptop right now with the AC adapter going to a power outlet. The sound is amazing. it doesnt have a place to hook onto tho, so you have to improvise there.

This is a bad little speaker! Totally worth the money, and, really convenient. There's a connector that you can purchase for about three dollars to hook into the laptop. Or you could try finding a cord with different sizes on each end. I recommend just getting the little converter, though. Its cheap and useful for more than just this one task. Good luck, toi toi, break a leg (whatever your tradition may be)

The best chances are yes, you can get sound working, because of course, you select this new sound card, in an option on your computer. There is a slim chance that there is something far more wrong with your computer. I would definitely try this sound card though. These cards are great. I have both generations of these laptop sound cards and enjoy them very much.

It has excellent stereo sound. I don't know how many watts. It plays louder if you plug into wall. It needs either blue tooth or a 1/8" jack to supply the audio source. Your laptop prob has a 1/8" headphone jack that would work.

It's a good speaker and you can pair it to any source. If you do it on your laptop B.T. you can choose the device from your computer. After you choose the device on your computer then pair on the speaker.

You can plug it into your laptop's headphone jack (assuming it has one). However - my laptop has a crappy built-in sound card, so the audio quality was bad. I ended up getting a USB sound card (about $50) and plugged the speakers into that - much better. I'd say try it straight in first and see if you are OK with the sound.

Sound comes from the computer, not the monitor. Plug your speakers into your computer.

Not sure I dont think so I have a set of these connected to a alienware laptop and they sound pretty good, they also look good sitting on the glass desk, easy to operate oh and also I use these speakers with my ipad mini and they great.

It depends on the laptop. They work wonderfully with my laptops and my android smart phone for Spotify, Skype, Youtube, and general calls. In fact, these earbuds have worked better than any other ear buds I have ever owned which is over 1/2 a dozen different brands. However, they might not work as well with your specific laptop. I would give them a try because the sound quality is fantastic for the price. However, if you are wanting to go all out for sound quality, I would get a pair of studio headphones. But for earbuds, these are superb.
