Life with a laptop doesn’t usually come without some sacrifices when it comes to performance. We give up the powerful graphics, faster hard drives, and faster processors in exchange for portability. Not to mention, laptops are typically much more difficult to upgrade than their desktop counterparts. One area that seems commonly neglected on both desktop and laptops is the audio. Now granted, onboard motherboard audio has improved by leaps and bounds over the last couple years, but still don’t match the performance of a good quality discrete audio solution. Laptops suffer even more because by design, audio components are shoe-horned into a tiny chassis.
