Thread: laptop speakers

I have a question for some of you computer guru's out there.
I bought a dell inspiron laptop about 2 months ago and I LOVE it!
However, the speakers seem a little raspy and don't quite have the bass or tone that I'd like. I was looking at getting a plug in speaker set that had 2 speakers and a sub-woofer (like $45ish is what I've found mostly). I don't game or watch a lot of movies, just mostly music.
So, does anyone have any suggestions as to a brand or style of speaker that you would pick? I'd like to stay under $50 if possible (I know I'm probably not going to get the best quality for that price but that's ok).

Any suggestions is appreciated!

I did a quick search and came up with these, hope it helps.

Newegg.com - Logitech S-220 17 Watts 2.1 Multimedia Speaker System - Speakers

Cyber Acoustics - 2.1 Speaker System (3-Piece) - Ca3602

Logitech - Z313 2.1-Channel Speaker System (3-Piece) - Black/Silver - 980-000382

I like logitech speakers, ive had a few different setups and they were great. Bose is good too but they tend to be more $$

I've seen those logitechs and they spark my interest, best price yet!
I'm clueless at speakers...so when it says 17 watt sub or 15 ect...is the higher the number the better?

I don't need to rock a club, just my desk lol

Thank you for the suggestions!

I bought my dad a set of Logitech X-240, which I believe are now discontinued, but they are great for the low price.

And yes, put simply, higher power (watts) = more volume/sound.
