    I noticed that AW laptops are highly upgradeable, gfx, processor, ram, hdd, to some extend.

    So i tot i would be good too if M15x or other AW can have their sound system upgradeable too. Better speakers, sub-woofers, ect.

    Im sorry if im being off topic. :p

    laptop sound has always (imo) been abysmal.

    biggest problem is that good speakers require a lot of space. if not the speakers, then the sound box they're placed in.

    it would have been great to have an upgradable card like the sb xfi rather than the onboard crap.

    Two headphone ports + two sets of decent speakers.

    What more do you need?

    Does AW M15x have sub-woofers? Noticed some new laptops have them and they do really thump.

    M15x only has a right and a left speaker no subwoofer. You can see that in the m15x teardown video.
