I have one of those small portable external speaker you can use on the road (Kensignton's USB powered portable speaker). It does not need the cable to the head phone jack port on the notebook, as it connects to the notebook via USB port.
What is the difference in sound quality using USB and connecting to notebooks via regular headphone jack port? This portable speaker is easy to carry around as it does not need the power brick as it gets power from USB as well.
