All you need is a headphone jack.
Follow the enclosed instructions to convert the speakers into 3-inch cubes of sound. Then, when you're done, fold them back up and slip them into your laptop sleeve. The 1-watt sound won't rival a home stereo system, but will outperform most internal laptop speaker sets.
The OrigAudio Fold-N-Play made Time Magazine's list of 50 Best Inventions of 2009. It sells for $20 per set, or $80 for all 6 available styles.
