The sound quality is alright. The bass doesn't penetrate as well as the mids and lows, although the sound card is pretty prime.

Yep. I really like mine. Maybe look at your windows settings? Ensure stereo is enabled?

the sound would be the same as any other laptop, if you want surround like 5.1 you have to buy speakers with an aux cable, but this laptop is good for movies since it comes with a remote and has windows quick play program and hot touch key.

Guys, sorry for that irrelevant comment/question: how do u feel about your 7000 series laptop? I bought one & kinda having 2nd thoughts about it

It's no louder or quieter than any other PC workstation. I only really notice the sound when I log into the unit, reboot it, or access files on it.

The speakers are pretty good. I can't ride with the volume on full blast. Sorry I am unsure about the upgrade.

That's not true on mine atleast. I think mine are on the top in front of the screen behind the keyboard and they are loud. When playing video games my friends ask me to turn it down and the sound quality is excellent, though by the sound I would say no bass or built in woofer. If you want the full spectrum sound like someone else said you may want speakers, but for everyday use it's fine. I have noticed no difference in tabletop versus lap, etc.

Just OK, it doesn't get as loud as my HP touchSmart 300 PC internal speakers. The sound is full treble too, so if you bought a sub-woofer maybe you would pass this as acceptable. When turned completely full there is no distortions either but its also not that loud compared to other devices. Hope this answers your questions

The laptop is fairly quiet general. When doing light tasks like email and MS Office work it is very quiet. It isn't silent but I wouldn't consider it loud as normal office/home noise will easily drown it out. When working on more demanding tasks the cooling fan kicks in and the noise is a bit more noticeable. Really at no point have I thought the noise excessive or distracting.

It's great even at full volume on my pc, but remember that it is not as loud as normal headphone (which I love by the way ^.^ )

The laptop does not get hot and the fan is not at all loud. I have trouble concentrating if there are loud noises in the room when I am writing my book. I don't even notice the fan, so, it is very quiet. If you got the cash and are on the fence for getting this laptop, let me tell you, get it! I searched Bestbuy and Fry's electronics and even online sales. This configuration is your best bang for your buck from Amazon, in features and looks. I mean, it just looks so much better than everything else out there. This laptop is LOADED with features. I am a cheap, picky tech guy, so...............trust me, I did our homework to find the ultimate machine. Don't forget, this is the I7 chip with 8 gig on the board, backlite keys, high def webcam, TOUCHSCREEN, dvd writer, double 3.0 usb ports and one 2.0 port, HDMI out, VGA out! I got the laptop almost 2 months ago and it was the best deal then. I haven't re-researched to see what is out there being that I spent over 800$. So, you would have to let me know about that end of it. Windows 8.1 is fine. I use the desktop option and it looks and feels like I am running in XP. That is the operating system I am transitioning off from. I hope this helps. Also, I am SUPER HAPPY with it! If there are any iffy reviews, those people are just hating on it! Also, the chip has the integrated HD 4600 graphics card! I am in the process of hooking up "3" EXTRA monitors up to my laptop. 2 external monitors and one HD LCD monitor. I am confident the laptop can handle it! This thing is a BEAST!

It sounds like a small desktop. So its relative to the surrounding environment. If you have only have a fan-less laptop you will notice when its running.

Bought 4 of this laptop for a dentist and sound is not a major factor but did notice the volume at a particularly low volume compared to other laptops I have worked with

These are the specs direct from their website. From my own personal experience, my laptop does just fine. I have not amped them personally, but I have read (online) that they do improve with amping. Also driving them from my iTouch is good. Just switch off the EQ and they sound great.Type: Dynamic, semi-openDriver: ¨ª50 mm, neodymiumSensitivity: 98 dB SPL (1 mW)Frequency Response: 10-30,000 HzMax.

It is fair like most laptops. If I wanted to listen to sometime special, I use my Microsoft LifeChat 3000 ear phones. I am hard of hearing so my opinion shouldn't count for much.

The noise is quite low, almost inaudible. On a rare occasion, she got a little louder, but nothing too terrible in all honesty. The output for games has also been rather nice if you're currently stuck with internal graphics.

That is one of the downfalls of this laptop. The keyboard is very basic and does not have any special controls or access keys. You have adjust the volume manually on Windows.
