    I can understand all but following reasin

    Good speakers that get reasonably loud and don’t have downward-facing tweeters

    Why do you even care about built-in speakers? Either use proper speakers or headphones.

      I use my laptop’s speakers all the time; why would I want to bust out external speakers when I can have perfectly usable ones built in? Doubly so when I’m not at home!

          I don’t need them to be that nice, and I’d much rather pay a bit more than lug bulky extra components around.
