• Hi, thanks for your question! Since the Bose 161 speakers are not powered, they require a stereo receiver (or amplifier) and cannot be connected directly to a laptop computer. The speakers are designed to be connected to a receiver with a rating between 10-100 Watts Per Channel, 4-8 Ohms. It is possible, however, to play audio from the laptop through the speakers with a compatible receiver.

• I dont see why not. They are the same as any stereo speakers that you would buy. They are small so should draw alot of power. I would check the computer specs. I think the minimum wattage is 10. To me what makes a good sound system for any computer is a decent subwoofer. I would consider the price of these to a system more designed for your needs if it is video, music or gaming. All Bose products are the same price so if you went to a place like Best Buy you could compare the computer sound systems and the stereo speaker systems in on place
