My partner needs a pair of computer speakers to plug into her laptop. Requirements:

Paul, Paul, Paul . . . you've been around long enough to
know that neither "reasonable" nor "affordable" are useful
parameters. Are we talking $25, $100, or $300? And how
portable does it have to be?

Are you really looking at speakers that are sold as computer
speakers? Or small, portable powered "monitors" sold to
people who devote a quarter of the dining room table to the
studio?
