I just got a new laptop, which I will use primarily at my desk with an external monitor. (Pic below.)
The biggest problem is, of course, the audio. It seems I have a couple of options for upgrading it:
- Regular wired desktop speakers like the Audioengine A2s. My issue with them is that I'm not sure I have room on my desk to put them on either side of the monitor. I am also not sure the wires will be long enough to reach the laptop's headphone jack, which is on the left side.
- A powered soundbar that sits in front of the external monitor. My issue there is I haven't yet found one that is short enough to not obscure the display. I would need something that is about 3 inches tall. It would also need to hook up to a headphone jack, or else be Airplay or Bluetooth enabled.
Anyone have any suggestions?
