I want to use Windows XP Professional Version 2002 so drivers must be available easily (!).

Samsung has HDMI ports in my price range but is there any other brand I should look at?
Thank you very much for your help and thank god for a site and forum like this.
As my handle indicates I am a rank novice so please understand if I have made impossible demands.
First posted this in the wrong thread but got a good suggestion from JuGGa.
Asus X Series X54H-SX227D Laptop
Please give me your comments and suggestions.
I've never bought ASUS before so any reassurance would be welcome.
Thanks.
 
I can't find Windows XP drivers for this model X54H on the ASUS website, only for Windows 7 so does that mean that I can't run Windows XP Version 2002 on this machine?

Back to Samsung then? at least they have XP drivers on their website.

Most probably. Also, one personal experience, HP laptops have the best hardware/driver support out of the box.

Mate samsung is a light weight laptop with all the features. But just like @JuGGa suggested you. HP laptops have the best hardware/driver support out of the box in this budget of yours.
Hope this help.Cheers.
