Same flaw all the Thinkpads have had for centuries now. Garbage speakers are the norm for laptops. The first time I heard one of the newer MacBooks speakers while I had a Thinkpad was eye opening.

Work gives me an elite book and while it’s much better than most, it’s still bad. The whole case resonates and adds noise and it runs some shitty software that uses 30% cpu to make it sound decent. Disabling that software brings it back to average laptop levels.

I had an older HP laptop where disabling their sound DSP (by Beats) also set the equalizer to min bass / max treble so you would say "wow, this Beats thing is so great".
