: Laptops are slowly but steadily graduating from laps to desks, increasingly displacing the bulkier PCs in the process. Despite their sleeker and smaller size, most of them are as good as, if not better than, the regular desktops in terms of technology, speed, display-size and storage-space. To make this claim a little more audible, computer peripheral giant Logitech has launched laptop USB speakers AudioHub.

It is a portable 2.1 speaker system specially designed for laptops. Shaped like a soft black monolith bar weighing 2.35kg and measuring 17inch (20inch fully extended) X 5½ inch X 3½ inch to sit behind your laptop display panel indiscreetly. The design engineers have paid special attention to keep it non-intrusive and hence covered it with a non-reflective fabric like skin with almost no reflective part visible from front. Even the volume (and power On/Off) knob on the right panel is placed on the side and glows in very soft orange light. The only issue with this skin is that it attracts a lot of dust and grit.

Two 2inch tweeter drivers are placed in two cubes on either side of the system and they can easily be slided out to extend the size (to 20inch) for better separation of stereo channels and also to match the larger screen size of the laptops. The system placed behind my 12inch MacBook showed just two cubes on either side of the display panel giving it a very work-station like look and that soft orange glow from the volume control dial added some warmth to the ambiance, an elegant touch.
