Misdescribed acer laptop from argos store

In all honesty, I've never seen the point in having stereo speakers on a laptop. (but I can see the need for a stereo headphone output).

To get any benefit from stereo, you must either have the speakers a reasonable distance apart or be using head/earphones, and having a pair of stereo speakers 8" to 12" from each other is pretty pointless.

Yes. I have. Dell Latitude and it has 2 speakers.

Sorry, but the sound quality must be truly awful !

My (desktop) PC has one speaker but when I use a pair of Sennheiser headphones the sound quality is excellent.

Where was sound quality a consideration in this thread? This is all about material fact, not subjective assessment.

In which case, why bother posting with your subjective opinion of what other people have posted?

Sound quality must have been a basic requirement as the OP was expecting a stereo experience rather than a mono one - therefore the material fact of only having one speaker was only identified after the failure to produce stereo sound was identified ;)
