Chunky laptops

1. GT75VR - Best overall sound quality Bass (high and low range is full) + Treble + Mids + Surround, amazing cinema style experience

2. GT73VR - GT80S/GT83VR (Tie) - Best Bass(high and low range is full) + Surround, amazing gaming experience, 6 speakers and 1 sub

3. Clevo P870 series - Best Surround, Bass is hollow(high range is only picked up, low range lacking BADLY), superficial but the 'thump' is there and quite loud, clarity is excellent almost too much high (makes my ears bleed at 100% )

4. Dell XPS L702X - This has been number 1 for a very very long time, it has taken laptop manufacturers so long to step up its EMBARRASSING. Bass (amazing low end range)+Treble+Mids are simply excellent surround isn't amazing but there too.

5. Asus N56V Series laptops - Two MASSIVE subwoofer style speakers located on both sides, doesn't have a subwoofer and honestly does not need one, this thing will shake your table on 100% volume, clarity and software provided is nothing but excellent. Highs and mids are slighlty lacking but the bass is there.

Slim laptops

1. Huawei Matebook X - Macbook Pro 15 (Tie) - For how slim these are the sound quality is nothing but excellent both utilize the same style of speakers, firing out the keyboard. Bass is not as good as lets say a GT75VR but in something this thin any bass is excellent. Mids and Highs are excellent with the Macbook edging out on the clarity side.

2. Xiaomi Mi Notebook Pro - Amazing sound quality again, bass is excellent. Mids and highs are just slightly muffled otherwise this is in solid second place

3. Macbook Pro 13 - Same as the Pro 15 but not as loud and bass is kind of superficial.

4. Dell's new latitude and xps series - Dell's Wave MaxxAudio software really helps crappy speakers turn into something that will surprise you. Highs and Mids are excellent, almost so good that the speakers start crackling at 100% sometimes . Bass is good but volume will need to be compensated for bass (dell utilize phone style/iPad Pro style speakers in there laptops).

I hope this answers your question, I researched thoroughly on this for at least 3 to 4 years testing every laptop. These are the best of the best. If I've missed something out please correct me.

 

On the slim notebooks I think the Huawei 14D is a better choice than the MacBook 13, albeit only slightly. Of course it does not match a monitor class headset but the Dolby ATMOS is awesome.
