But that adapter is only $19. It's nearly impossible to get DVI output from most non-Mac laptops, no matter how much you spend.

- neilc 19y agoWow, I never realized that, but it seems you're correct. I wonder why in the world more laptops don't support DVI?
- mrtron 19y agoMost laptops don't have a good video card. Macbooks have the small connector because the large connector is too large in form factor for a laptop (well maybe not that huge HP :P). So other laptops would have to do something similar, but perhaps apple patented the mini-dvi port?
- neilc 19y agoI guess form factor could be a major part of it, although the 15" MBP does support DVI. And there are lots of laptops with decent non-integrated video cards but no DVI support -- support for DVI isn't exactly a high-end video card feature, after al.
