I am a high school student who has a reading problem that use audiobooks and i would like to know how good the speakers are in the 13" MBP.
only difference is the sound comes from under the keyboard as against the grilles in the 15".
That will unfortunately make a world of difference, since the keyboard/casing isn't by any means acoustically transparent. It will cut or muffle the mids and highs quite a bit, which will make for poor sound quality for especially for audiobooks.
It really doesn't. The sound is exactly the same. If anything, the grilles would let out less sound as the holes are much smaller than gaps in the keyboard. I'm big on audiobooks too & you can hear every word clearly from the other side of the room.That will unfortunately make a world of difference, since the keyboard/casing isn't by any means acoustically transparent.
