A lot of people give presentations or connect their laptop to a TV, I don't think taking out the HDMI port would go down well at all.

They re-added out of pressure from pros

I recently bought a refurbished laptop, and a large part of the reason I got it was for presentations, HDMI was a must have feature for me.

I imagine any enterprise laptop would be similar, if you can't hook it up to the projector, why bother?

[-] Petter1@lemm.ee 1 points 3 weeks ago

Well, if you use such legacy style of connection to projector, I may agree, if it was not that easy to upgrade the cable to have a c to hdmi adapter mounted all the time.

I connect wireless to my projectors, like, everywhere.

Homie, the non profit club we're renting a room from isn't going to buy a new projector just because I think HDMI is beneath my dignity.

Projectors have a long lifespan, and don't tend to be replaced until they actually fail.

Besides, HDMI can transfer up to 48 gigabit/sec, so it's actually faster than anything but the very latest standard of USB.

Lol, you do not need a no projector, just a hdmi to c dongle on the hdmi cable that is already there -> 5 to 20 dollars

And if it is that old, it will not need 48gb/s or do you have 8k 120hz?? (This would be veeeery expensive)

[-] Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee 1 points 3 weeks ago

I'm not using a dongle for something I use daily like that.

[-] Petter1@lemm.ee 0 points 3 weeks ago

Well that seems like a you problem..

[-] Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee 1 points 3 weeks ago

Not really, because my computer has an HDMI port.
