Build quality is great, and it's nice to have a non gamer design.
So both on a flat service, macbook is way louder and sound quality is just better.
Build quality is fantastic, metal finishes and all.
Price
That being said, if the price is reasonable, this laptop is a good choice.
Speakers are about what'd you expect from the price.

I have had this laptop for almost a month now was initially worried when i collected it due to the negatives i have read on the reviews here in regards to malfunctioning keyboard bad screen bleed inferior track pad bloatware annoying to setup when new etc
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
So what i am about to say here is solely based on my particular unit build quality is impressive in terms of screen bleed it is only noticeable when i had my screen showing a black image with max brightness in a room with all lights off at night
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
So yes its there but not detectable at all during my use even in max brightness because staring at a black screen in a pitch dark room obviously doesnt reflect real life usage
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
This happened a few more times until it didnt anymore it never happened since and i hope it never happens again as i would hesitate to send it back just to fix one single albeit important stuck key
