I can't sell my MacBook Pro because the speakers are so insanely good. Air can't compare. The speakers are worth the extra kilos.

I have never once used my laptop speakers. Not saying youre wrong but its crazy how different priorities for products can be

I shocked when I tried out the 2019 MBP speakers, they were almost as good as my (low-end) studio headphones. I was even more shocked with the M2 speakers, which are arguably better (although not as flat frequency response, I think, there definitely is something a little artificial, but it sounds really good). I really could not imagine laptop speakers being even close to par to decent headphones. Perhaps they aren't on par with $400 headphones, I've never had any of those. But now by preference I listen on the laptop speakers. It's not a priority--I'm totally happy to go back to the headphones--more like an unexpected perk.

But why would you ever use the speakers?

I work alone- I can use the speakers at any volume without bothering anybody or wearing anything in my ears or on my head. It's wonderful.

Apple Audio is one of the best in consumer market. i've never found a laptop with better speaker, even if they cost a lot more.
