Laptop speakers get a lot of use for most people with remote work. It doesn't make any sense from the manufacturer's perspective to sell a laptop with no speakers—the market for such a thing is small and the extra manufacturing variant would add cost.
- WhyNotHugo 6y agoI'm sure some people have use for it, but, as someone how's worked remotely a lot during the last decade, I've never had a need for laptop speakers. Just like I've never had a need, on laptops, for optical drives, card readers, and lots of other features. Sure, there's an audience, but adding bulk+cost+complexity to ALL laptops shouldn't be necessary. You can have specialised laptops with ethernet+card readers+speakers for people who need extra hardware capabilities, without including this on mainstream general purpose laptops.
