So, many years ago I picked up asus's Q550lf from best buy to be my light(ish) duty casual laptop (to use in bed or where ever). It was an impressive beast at the time with a great looking ips touch screen and a 745m for some gaming if you wanted. However the star of the laptop was an external housing unit just slightly bigger then a bathroom water cup that housed a medium sized speaker for low frequencies, a subwoofer. It worked quite well and the laptop's sound dominated that of any other laptops at the time (and still continues to do so).
The laptop is still running good although stuck on windows 8.1 because some key drivers are not so hot running in windows 10 (actually powering down during a shut down can be a gamble). Unfortunately the sonicmaster technology asus used did not carry on past these generations of laptops. I currently have a 17" MSI gaming laptop I use as a replacement for my gaming setup but the internal subwoofer it used is pretty abysmal. Although the feature was clearly more of an after thought.
Has anyone come across any regular sized or lightweight laptops (ie not gaming) of recent origin that have tackled built in sound as one of its primary bullet points, and was successful with it?
