=== User Experience ===
  *The mute button is a nice feature :-).
  *Though it can serve as sound system also for games+videos, indeed the speaker loudness is too low for that purpose to gain maximum joy. BUt of course it is portable, so probably better than the built-in sound system of the notebook computer.
