Guess it works better than the original Moment ;-)

Now that's a fancy design for an all-in-one!!!

But it's still a damn Windows thing guys. So not cool.

B&O with HP proved to be really bad for me last night. I was talking to a young friend at the gym last night. He was 19 and was wanting a Bluetooth speaker system to go with his new iPhone 7+. Anyway i told him to go for a A1 by B&O. He said that he'd never heard of B&O. 

I told him that it was BANG&OLUFSEN. He words were "No way". My Papa has a HP laptop with those speakers in and it sounds awful".

There was no way that I could convince him otherwise. It stands to reason that if you are putting your brand anywhere, it has to be class winning and in this case, it simply is not. My MacBook is super for a computer speaker system - they should have got it to that level at least!

I think you've found your soul mate there Paul, shallow, narrow minded, judgmental, and hipster enough to judge an entire brand on the basis of one quick experience while not taking time to look further. You also get to slag B&O and Microsoft in the same post, with an implicit Apple kudos thrown in. And here I thought you were unsubtle!

My employer just upgraded my previous "cinderblock" PC laptop to a new svelte HP laptop which, to be honest is lighter and more convenient for me to lug around than my iPad Pro. (First world problems).

That being said, the new laptop has a Bang & Olufsen Sound Control Panel. 

For laptop speakers, I was impressed with the clarity and volume I heard, even when it was docked at my desk. Below are screenshots of the actual "HP Bang & Olufsen Audio" Control panel at the default settings in case anyone is interested what it entailed. 

Those controls actually look useful Sal, as opposed to the limited ones on my laptop. Especially the dialog enhancer slider, too often laptop speakers are dreadful at dialog if there's anything else being played, as in a movie or video clip. Laptops will never be wonderful audio wise, just too many compromises in speaker size and enclosure volume. Of course, now that I've said that I expect the usual suspects to show up and rave that well, on Apple laptops all the rules of physics have been suspended by Saint Jobs.

Yeah I have a work lappy with the same thing, like the way the control panel options work well with my H8's, although not sure they achieve anything through the loudspeakers in the lappy.

That desktop is rather nice though, and to Paul's point am sure I'd shoehorn MacOsX onto it 🙂 and ditch windoze 10.
