Well I am like a child when it comes to wanting things so In am sonna buy that 8 series samsung and worry about a PC later. I will be able to do tons more with it anyway and I aint too worried about gaming at the moment TBH. It’s al about the music. The only down side is that it hasn’t got phono outputs which is rare in laptops. The only one I know of is the toshiba satalite. Also why do no lappys have optical outputs. Few years ago everything was like Get optical and enjoy 7.1 surround. So have we gone back to feeding from headphone jacks, or is there something with USB that I am missing??

You would need an external sound card for that I would think.

Oh sry miss underastood what you ment, it’s rare FOR laptops to have phono, not rare for them to not have them like the one you’re getting.
if a laptop has a phono socket on it normally its a single yellow one used to plug into a analogue TV set (remember those?) which is why its rare today.
TBH for laptop sound you want at least a external soundcard and probably also a DI box with ground lift to get best sound quality and avoid PSU / noise interference
