As far as speaker type, i dont really know.. the speakers are located on the bottom of the laptop and they seem like good quality speakers.

The speakers are nothing to write home about. You want to get an external set of speakers to get any kind of sound quality but the soundcard is okay!

They are small stereo speakers. In my day we would be ashamed to have been caught listening to music through speakers this size.

Get the same speakers from here.http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16882290067

Yes. The speakers are quite good. I've used this laptop to watch DVDs for entertainment and lecture purposes.

I bought this machine for my parents and they do not use the speakers. So, I have no idea about the quality of the speakers.

It is hard to tell, you should be more forthcoming about the speakers. Although I'd recomend to take a look at XPA-2 instead.

maybe some distortion and lack of clarity in general, they are 250$ desk top speakers with no woofer, that being said i still believe these are a great value, maybe you need to upgrade to full-on home stereo system

Ideally, bookshelf speakers on the order of 25W will provide highest quality response. Teac has a well matched line of bookshelfs. I use those and a subwoofer fr Yamaha. The system is in my office and sounds better than a $10k. sound system in my living room.

These are not computer speakers. That means that they need an amplifier (such as a receiver) to be used with the computer.

For a laptop, I think it's fine. It has decent volume and the sound is clear. I wouldn't mistake it for some high quality stand alone speakers, though. Hope that helps.

Powered speakers will do. Audioengine for instance, are good. Check those out.

Depends how you define oomph. I would probably say if you're an audiophile you'll be disappointed with the speakers. They will provide decent sound in a large room, but they do not have the bass or clarity of the previous generation. These would be good speakers to have on a desk to compliment your computer, but would struggle to perform as stand alone speakers.

These are not self-amplified computer speakers. These are passive speakers that would connect to an amplifier or receiver. So you would need an amp to connect them to a PC.

Is it worth getting this speaker to use with a laptop, instead of one with two speakers or a bigger one? Can it compete against regular speakers?

Oh you are quite welcome! If those speakers are truly never used Dell speakers, they should give you a very good sound quality experience. I simply love my Dell speakers! I like to listen to music and watch movies on my computer and my Dell speakers have always delivered good quality sound time and time again!One tip, after connecting the speakers go into your computer's settings to be sure you have the sound setting up to where you like it. Then click "apply" and the speakers should give you years of happy listening.Have a wonderful and very Merry Christmas!

Good luck I wish you the best! The speakers do sound great! I just hooked them up to my computer and use them with it.

This is a video monitor with no speaker. Your computer probably has a built-in low fidelity speaker, or you could purchase a set of external computer speakers.

Thanks for the response. I can't find the same speakers from anyone and the one set I found were $105/pair used! I may end up with these from what I can tell. These are bookshelf speakers for use here in my basement.
