It's a huge thing because you can't really fit all the big speakers and audio stuff in tiny laptops and make them sound good. So we use extra steps (the DSP for example) to adjust how the speakers and amplifiers are controlled. Doing it this way allows us to have much better sound from tiny micro speakers. This is important because the alternatives are: - Bad sound and nothing you can do about it - No sound at all - Carry external speakers with you all the time Where in the past it was impossible to both have physically small devices and good sound, technological advances have enabled us to do more with less. So adding that technology means we can now have better sound than in the past.
