I bought this basically to play my workout videos on. Also to use as a backup computer, or for using in bed, travel, etc. However, the sound is pretty bad. I have it maxed out, and the only way for me to hear my videos playing is if the house is quiet. If you have any noise in the house whatsoever, it is very hard to hear. I may try hooking up a speaker to see if that improved the sound quality, but otherwise, I am very disappointed.
