(Look under products, "pour femme". I had no idea that speakers were for
women.)

They're just analog speakers, that get their audio signal through a standard
1/8" stereo plug. The operating system is irrelevant to that; if your
notebook has a 1/8 output jack (the sort used for compact headphones), it'll
work.

The speaker is powered off the USB port. That would increase the drain on
the laptop's battery, but you didn't say whether you wanted something that
could run without an external power source.

It's also possible to buy speakers that get both power *and signal* through
USB. (That would be good for a PC that has no audio output, but I expect
that doesn't apply to your laptop.) Here's a relatively inexpensive pair:

I have no recommendations. I've only used speakers with desktop PCs.
