Laptop recommendation with HDMI and 12-13 inch size monitor - Blu-ray Forum

crystal_sun · 01-14-2011, 03:58 AM

Hi,

Can anyone make some recommendation on a brand and model that fits two of my requirement - HDMI and 12-13 inch size monitor? Of course, a brand/model that is known for reliability.

The laptop is going to be used mainly for surfing and running basic application (quicken, turbotax, etc). No gaming.

Thanks in advance,

Why would one need a laptop with a HDMI port if it's intended for basic application use and surfing?

you can always get a DVI to HDMI cable or get a DVI connector for a HDMI. Unless it has a VGA port. I don't know if there's cables like that for VGA.

There are VGA->Component cables. If his sister has a tv with VGA she could use a VGA->VGA connector also.

Most laptops some with at least vga or s-video out.
