    Is there a high spec Harmon/Kardon laptop <2.5kg?

    Aside from the netbook, I could not find any Harmon/Kardon under 2.5kg. I've used the Toshiba M50 for 5 years and sound is fantastic. I can't find anything the same. I might have to buy a Dell XPS 15z which is good speakers but lightweight.

    Don't confuse the 15z with the 15. The XPS 15z audio is adequate for a "slim" laptop, but nowhere near the XPS 15 audio performance level.

    There are 13", 14" and 15" Toshiba Satellites that have Harman/Kardon speakers. They should meet the under 2.5 kg requirement easily.

    The H/K speakers on Toshibas are pretty universal and sound great. Check out a big box store like Best Buy or whatever UK has, to see them.
    However, not all Toshibas have H/K speakers. Tecra/Portege do not have H/K.


    Good luck

    Unfortunately in UK, Toshiba only sells H/K on the atom netbook and 15.6" and above notebooks. Nothing in between
