If not, what would be the best that one could expect, do you think, on average, from said mid-range laptop computer?
I refer to a specific laptop computer (mine). It is a gaming computer--not that I do any gaming, but it was the only one that I could find, within a reasonable price, that otherwise had the specs that I wanted. Would the fact that it is a gaming computer, 1) probably make no difference, 2) make some difference, 3) make no difference at all in the audio quality that it could reproduce?
Thanks.

A true gaming computer usually has very good specs -- especially for video, but I'd expect audio to be above average as well. That being said, a 10 year old gaming laptop might not have the best specs when compared to a new machine. Of course, even a good laptop speaker probably won't qualify for critical listening, but good headphones or a good external speaker setup should do well!
