I use my laptop's speakers all the time; why would I want to bust out external speakers when I can have perfectly usable ones built in? Doubly so when I'm not at home!

Because of sound quality, bass and the external ones live longer than the laptop. You also pay more if you have "better" speakers in each laptop you buy instead of paying once for external ones.

I don't need them to be that nice, and I'd much rather pay a bit more than lug bulky extra components around.
