Definitely don't play U2 on the Aspire One's internal speakers.

Good to know that (we 're in Koh Samui) will it also be damaged with constant loud explosions during the night?

Internal Speakers aren't the best at any rate - better to add a external speaker set to it!!!

IMHO U2 shouldn't be played on any system..
