Newbie needs info on modest laptop speakers


Hi - I'm very much a newbie...so everything I've browsed in the forums so far looks like Greek to me...!! I have a laptop provided by my employer so am limited to what I can do, except maybe hook up a good set of speakers. What I'm looking for is "gotchas" like the speakers need to be a minimum wattage, etc.
for a Dell D630 Latitude. Thank you!!

I am an Audio Engine dealer and, especially, the A5 at $349 a pair including all the cables you will need and an iPod dock is unbeatable.
The A2s are only $199. These are beautifully made and sound great.

Klipsch is good and CNET turned me on to Logitech which has good cheap line that does job.

Mackie MR5's or 624MkII's if you can manage to budget a bit more.

Audition at a local Guitar Center and take home for a no hassle 30 day period.
I returned my MR5's no questions asked to step up to the 624MKII's.
The Swans HIVI SW3 are about 80 bucks and include a t-amp. No real deep bass, but wonderful soundstaging and really enjoyable. The AudioEngine 2's sounded very hifi to me, the single driver SW3's sound more natural. There is a short review on 6moons. Kind of hard to find..look for the HIVI website
