It can be used with a laptop, Mp3 player or desktop computer.

The case can also be used as a stand for laptop speakers. The jack is compatible with a variety of computers and smart phones.
Altec Lansing Orbit Mp3 IM237
These portable speakers were first released in 2007 and quickly received the silver award with Orb Audio. The Altec Lansing Orbit MP3 IM237 portable speaker is about the size of a can of tuna, but it packs a powerful punch when it comes to sound quality with its 360-degree sound field. The unit requires three AA batteries and features a simplistic design, making it an ideal choice for travel speakers.
