    I got an Acer Aspire I3-2350M, 4Gb Ram, etc. laptop and want to connect two speakers to it.

    Since my laptop has only one 3.5mm audio port, I can't connect two speakers.

    Later on, I bought a 2female/1male connector shown here: http://img180.imagevenue.com/img.php?image=190883478_1_122_1099lo.jpg

    Is it ok to plug that connector on my laptop and then connecting my two speakers to it without anything going bad? Cause some tech guy told me that it brings load to the laptop's audio chip & might even blow it?

    You can use that adapter but it will not give you good quality sound and probably even mono instead of stereo. You can better buy a USB 2 jack stereo splitter.
