Laptop with HDMI

[Paul11]

i assume (still researching) that a VGA output on a laptop will not carry 1080p so was looking for a laptop that has HDMI for as cheap as possible.


also, does anyone know how to go from a laptop to optical sound in my amp ?

thanks in advance

AFAIK VGA does 1080p fine from a laptop - if your talking blu-ray playback then currently it doesn't run into DRM issues using VGA tho that might change.

The Toshiba T130-13Q has HDMI (tho it would struggle with HD video playback) and there may be some cheaper laptops maybe netbooks but I haven't looked at them all

This looks like a decent setup if you are looking for 1080p blu-ray http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=LT-028-SO&groupid=959&catid=1828&subcat=
