    not positive... I had a G51 from BestBuy, a month ago, and it had a bag GPU, would give me constant device driver errors, so swapped that piece for a new one, which has been flawless.... but, beside the gpu error fix, I SWEAR the speakers sound better on the new one as well! The old one was absolutely horrific, as is, worse than my netbook! This one is decent, not great by ANY means, but is actually to me quite a bit better, louder, and clearer.... not sure what that means, but maybe they have different suppliers for speakers or just vary in quality? No idea, but yes, I'd say these sounds noticeably better without any way to justify that statement! Was VERY disappointed with the stock G51 speakers with the first one, but the second is atleast decent, nowhere near great (my old Toshiba X205 had AWESOME speakers).

    So yeah

    Well, any speakers are better than the speakers of something that doesn't exist.
