Laptops Does HP Compaq 15-s001TU have a VGA port?

[Vaibhav K]

Hi,
This may sound to be a silly question, but I need to be sure before buying this laptop. I'm looing to buy HP Compaq 15-s001TU Notebook (4th Gen Ci3/ 4GB/ 500GB/ Free DOS) (G8D87PA) from flipkart. It does not mention anywhere in the specs whether it contains a VGA port (for connecting external monitor or display) or not. Althogh from the image it seems it could be present.
Can anyone confirm?
Thanks.

Pretty sure it will have one.[DOUBLEPOST=1409944605][/DOUBLEPOST]From this page : http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/...lc=en&lc=en&os=4063&product=7137570&sw_lang=&

Links to manual, both of which show the VGA port.

Oh please wait for a minute:

1. From the link in post #2 of this thread, I opened the "HP 15 Notebook PC Compaq 15 Notebook PC Maintenance and Service Guide" pdf. On page 7, there is a diagram showing different ports on left hand side. Port numbered 5 is said to be "External monitor port (select models only)".
2. I contacted customer care of flipkart, asking this same question. They replied this laptop doesn't have vga port.

So still not convinced this laptop has vga port. And having vga port is important for me - sometimes have to show presentations. Maybe I'll have to look for other models (which is sad, since this model is perfect on all other aspects for me).

Woah. Saw that now. Yep, the HP notebooks do not come with VGA ports now.

HP don't provide vga port these days. You could find HDMI though.

Ya, some models of HP don't have a vga port (but some do). My options are:

1. Consider HP 14-R004TU. Has a vga port, and seems to be good overall in configuration.
2. Buy the orignially mentioned model, and have a hdmi to vga port adapter.

Point 2 has a drawback of having to carry the accessory, which one is likely to forget. I think I shall be going with point 1.

In my case, since I already have the laptop - I shall be going with #2
