Windows 7 HDMI PC Laptops & Netbooks

Mobile Viewing: Windows 7 Laptops with HDMI

When you need to do some web surfing, word processing, or even video editing on the run, sometimes, a tablet or smartphone isn't enough. Instead, a good laptop, which can last for hours and has a PC-level processor, can make a big difference when you need to get your tasks done. You can even connect a laptop to a TV with HDMI in Windows 7, which means that you can use a standard external monitor or even an HDMI-compatible HDTV, and many options can be found on eBay.

It’s very easy to connect a laptop to a TV with HDMI using Windows 7. Most of the process is plug-and-play, which means that your laptop should be able to recognize the presence of your external display as soon as you connect the HDMI cable. As long as you are using laptops with HDMI, you should require no drivers for the connection.

Since these products have HDMI connectors in most situations, you can use them as mobile video-watching platforms. It's very easy to stream from streaming services or watch videos from the DVD tray or from the hard drive.

Even if you have a VGA-based laptop, there are methods that you can use to watch your content on an HDMI-enabled display. Here's how to switch from VGA to HDMI on Windows 7:

• Purchase a VGA/HDMI adapter on eBay.
• Plug the VGA, multi-pin connector into the VGA slot of the Windows 7 laptop.
• Attach the HDMI cable into the attached laptop HDMI slot.
• Plug the other end of the cable into the HDMI slot of the display.

Make sure to check the manufacturer's instructions first, as different models may have a different setup.

Some of these laptops are designed with speed in mind and have a solid-state drive that you can use for programs. In addition to the SSD, the laptops also include a standard hard drive, which you can use for file storage. As a result of this dual-drive system, you'll have fast access times and a lot of internal storage.

A netbook is a laptop computer that doesn't pack a lot of power but typically has more than enough specs to allow you to surf the net, do a little light gaming, or do some word processing. In some situations, you can even find netbooks with HDMI ports so that you can use a wire to project your favorite streaming service to your HDTV. Many affordable options are available on eBay.
