New laptop with HDMI out?
Hi guys,
I have a 3.5 years old laptop (Dell XPS M1530) that is starting to show signs of aging.. Yesterday the battery played dead for a while, and the overall comupter is much slower than before. I don't use it that much, mainly for internet and such, but I also play Diablo 3 and other games once in a while. I lag A LOT while playing D3 and I thought I would start looking for a replacement now, so when it dies or is close to I know my options and I can also spot some deals until then.
I looked at some Dell laptops (12 days of deals) and I can't find a mention of an HDMI out port on their laptops. Is that normal now? Mine has one and I use it a lot to plug my computer on my TV and watch tv shows, movies, etc. It's a must for me but it seems far from standard on laptops these days. Or maybe I'm mistaken?
From what i've read I would probably go with an i5 processor, lots of RAM and a decent graphic card. Although I'm not an intense gamer (hence the laptop) I like being able to play with good graphics and no lag.
What would you recommend? I won't build a laptop myself, so Dell? I don't want the cheap stuff, but won't shed 2000$ either. My budget is in the 1000$ range.
Thanks
