Mac Book Volume

[PlainJane]

Do all Macs have bad sound systems? My brother has a Mac book that you can hardly hear sometimes. The reason I'm asking is because I'm looking to replace my laptop PC with a Mac laptop, but I'm somewhat turned off by the sound system. My PC was lacking in quite a few things, but at full volume you could hear it down the hallway.

That's the one thing I don't like about my powerbook g4 (macbook pro predecessor). However, I just use my old PC's external speakers instead so problem solved!

I'll take the sound problems b/c I think the Mac is a much better computer and OS.

I have the same as NewJersey, a PowerBook G4 and I must say I'm fine with the speakers. There are better speakers in some PC laptops, but I'd say that the difference is nowhere enough to influence my decision between a PC and a Mac.

If I was planning on buying a desk top it wouldn't bother me so much, but I don't want to have to carry around speakers for a laptop. I'll probably end up getting a Mac anyway just because they surpass PCs in so many other ways.

Thanks for the reply

I would only do the speaker thing when I had the laptop set up in my room and my townhouse in college was throwing a party so the music would be louder. But when I am using it as a portable device, the speakers are more than enough for the vicinity I'm in.

Definitely get a Mac, so much better than my older PCs!

there's no volume problems with our daughter's Macbook. you can video chat with someone and hear them anywhere in the room.

we added a set of the Bose Companion speakers to our iMac for movies and music.
