You need to change the settings to the laptop. I tried the s-video thing with my old laptop last year, it works nicely, but haven't tried with the HDMI cable to the new one yet though.

I finally cleaned the mess off my desk that my new laptop is sitting on. Looks a million better after I took the clutter outta the desk

4 usb ports on the adaptor I got it for $30 at the best buy cuz I got too many usb stuffs and only 3 ports out of the laptop.

I got like external webcam, BB link cable, laptop cooler fan mat, xbox360 controller charger, xbox360 controller wireless receiver and on occasion a digital camera connector cable (I lost it somewhere in the room lol)

I use USB for my sidekick cellphone, digital camera, MMC/SD reader, USB flashdrives and USB Hub box connecting to my linux lappy.

**Foxrac** · 03-25-2009, 11:47 AM

I don't need USB Hub because I got 7 USB because of desktop. but my ASUS notebook got 3 USB and MacBook Pro got 2 USB, probably need Hub but both of them aren't my main computer use.

I use USB for my BB, XBox 360 wireless game receiver, wireless receiver for keyboard and mouse, Logitech game controller and few others.

For external HDD, I'm looking for eSATA add-on to make fast transfer to external HDD instead of USB or FireWire.

Yes, it may be smaller and lighter then most laptops, but that's only because it has no built in lcd and comes with no battery.

Also, the fact that it does not come with a built in screen or battery would make it impractical to use in a classroom setting, which is where a lot laptops are used. It would be sitting at your home on a desk or in a dorm.

If you have the money to get a 42" lcd why hook it up to a mac mini? There are lots of computers out, even a lot of macs, with way more powerful graphics that would work so much better for this type of monitor .. especially if you are gaming.

Latest pic of my Desktop

Left monitor is my primary monitor, the left is my temp monitor acting under the TV until the HDMI to DVI cable arrives tomorrow or early next week. Far right corner is my modem/router. Right right bottom is my lovely PS3 console. This is my entertainment unit....for now.
