Default Computer speakers

Parenthetically, I got these for Christmas:

I've been seeing this 'pop up' design from many different
manufacturers. I am guessing that they all use the same
driver and dress them up with their own box.

Anyway, for super compact speakers, I was startled by
the bass output and general fidelity. Probably not
what OP wants. I just thought I'd mention them.

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

1. Portable, powered.
2. Reasonably affordable.
3. Not *too* horrible sounding. I know computer speakers, for the most part, stink; she needs something that doesn't stink as badly as most.

Any recommendations? If it was me, I'd choose a good pair of powered monitors, but that violates criteria 1 and 2. We're not talking an audio professional here, but someone who needs the equivalent of a better-quality boombox.

Peace,
Paul
