    Laptops Laptop with DVI/HDMI

    The new Dell inspirons look very appealing, but I'm really disappointed about the lack of DVI/HDMI even with the addition of a discrete graphics card I've seen the HP dv9300 laptops, 17 inchers with HDMI, but I feel that a 17 inch is too big for me. Are there any 15.4/14.1 laptops with HDMI...

    I was dead set on buying a LCD player soon to replace my aging 21 inch Sony. But, I'm not really sure. After various demos (I went to atleast 2-3 Electronics shops here at Bangalore, to rule out a bad setup), I'm just not convinced about the quality of the picture. Sure, the demo DVD that...
