I just picked up Beth one of the HP Touchsmart minis... It's a bit bigger, around 13 inches I think... Great sound, and the touch functionality is pretty sick.

For under a k couldn't ask for much more from a lappie.

I love my 10.1 inch Acer's sound. My last laptop was so quiet you couldn't hear music even with it sitting right in front of your face at max volume. If I turn my Acer all the way up, you can hear it from the next room clearly. I was extremely surprised because I assumed it would be as bad or worse than my old Averatec.

u lucked out as everyone i know with acer aspires including the many online talking about it have sound problems, and remember on a plane you need extra good sound

what model u got

EB look at the Sony minis , i was reading about em in some mag whil ein the bathroom

They arent really "netbooks" per se but they are small and good for travel

Juicy D. Links · 06-12-2009, 12:15 PM

Sony Vaio P series thats the one i read about

It's an A0D150-1165. I would say it is comparable in volume to my friend's 17 inch HP. Turning the volume up more than halfway while actually using the laptop would be uncomfortably loud for me in most situations. I haven't used it on a plane yet, but if I do I'll use headphones anyway.

My eee 1000 (Not H, not HA, etc) has some pretty damn good sound for being a size of a hardback book.

JustDaveXxx · 06-12-2009, 12:48 PM

MAC. you need to loose this PC crap. lol

I was a die hard PC guy until i got into editing. After a month i gave away my 2 PC's.

Pay a little more at the beginning, but save yourself serious time and headache later.

u-Bob · 06-12-2009, 12:54 PM

the eee pc 1000he = good sound + great battery.

blazin · 06-12-2009, 12:59 PM

hmmm.... shouldn't you be using headphones on a plane

mac dont make the small ones from what i see

and to the guy with the acer try pluggin in your headphones see if volume is still good

candyflip · 06-12-2009, 04:46 PM

My dell Minis have better sound than my Macbook. Mac doesn't make a Mini, but not my Dells run full retail versions of OSX.

I wear headphone with a fly though. Makes all the difference.

Most suck. At least with the default/standard sound component they build in. I suggest headphones.

exactly! I hate it when I fly and someone next to me or in front/behind is listening to a laptop loud. Get a pair of headphones and enjoy your movie in stereo and allow others around the courtesy of not being forced to listen to it

buyandsell · 06-14-2009, 03:24 AM

my old sony VGN-s360 has a speaker that could wake the dead

hyperdrive · 06-14-2009, 11:18 AM

HP laptops has good speakers.. i think they use altec lansing speakers, at least that's what their sales people is saying..

perfectodollars-gabrio · 06-14-2009, 12:58 PM

i love my new asus n10j - it's a netbook but has the wonders of a regula bigger laptop such as decent big keyboard, 2 switchable video cards - a geforce and the classic intel gma onboard - battery lasts 5.5 hours and on top of that it has altec lansing speakers.

oh and forgot the hdd is 320 gb and 2gb of ram... and forgot 2, has also a HDMI video output.

it's a bit tricky to configurate with drivers and all but once you do that, works like a charm!! and it's a bit pricey too but it's top of the line.

perfectodollars-gabrio · 06-14-2009, 01:01 PM

as for the plane queson, yeah headphones all the way. if you use the volume booster from your video player program, sounds is very good, since usualy it's a bit too low. that depends the volume the movie is encoded with tho. speakers are very good by themselves.

EscortBiz · 06-14-2009, 01:19 PM

Are you guys nuts? When I fly on commercial jetliners I always use headphones

but even with headphones the acer u cant hear SHIT I upgraded the realtek etc, other minis dell and sony seem to be the same problem

A quick search in google showed 1000's of others with same issue on all mini laptops,

Ayla_SquareTurtle · 06-14-2009, 01:43 PM

With three other people in the room talking/laughing loudly and a radio playing, volume at 50% with headphones drowns out most, but not all, of the surrounding noise. Can hear farily clearly but would probably turn it up to not miss movie dialogue, etc. At 100%, it drowns out virtually all surrounding noise and is a bit uncomfortable on my ears. Sound is clear. Not sure how that would translate on a plane.
