I need to get some portable speakers for my powerbook, to use on my trip in June. I'd like something I can pack in the suitcase without worrying about

Re: portable/travel speakers
Yo Eddie,
I suggest you check in with the maker of your powerbook and see what they recommend or one of the Techies at the computer store can fill you in on a number of choices. Once you have a list of sorts, I'm sure if you disclose it to this group you'll get an opinion or two whether we know what we're talking about or not.

Re: portable/travel speakers
I got a pair of killer sounding portables at the electronics store at the Shell station by the airport...they run either on batteries or the local 220....they sound great and they didnt cost a whole lot...I dont have to worry about converters or anything...just plug em in and connect my Ipod to them

Re: portable/travel speakers
OK, the search is over. I spent part of the day at a few stores, looking for travel speakers. I finally went to the Apple Store and bought the JBL On Tour. Works nicely with the Powerbook. Not a lot of bass and, certainly not the resolution of my home system but, quite listenable. It's only 6.75 x 3.5 x 1.5 and works with either batteries or plug (included). Has a little carrying pouch, too. If you're looking for something to hook your laptop or ipod to, check it out. $100 at The Apple Store but, I bet you could find it cheaper on line.

Eddie, yes we used only batteries in St. Barths...we didn't play it every day but for an hour or so several days... no problem and didn't use the backup batteries we brought...if you plan on using it a lot, I'd bring a backup set...they sound pretty good for such a small package. Enjoy!
