      It would be very interesting to go to BB and see how many consumer devices have VGA on them - I'm thinking most if not all desktop consumer devices still do. laptops - well that would depend - super thin, nope, won't have it - fat cheap ones - very likely could because there's no license fee that I know of for VGA.

      Nothing comes with VGA.

        It can be my call if I decide that's what I want to do.

        Gotcha, then yeah why deal with managing multiple work-spaces unless there was a critical need for it.

        Just looked at my Laptop - There's no VGA.. Its HDMI .
        I dont have a HDMI Monitor.. But I do have a HDMI to VGA adapter .

        Why the fuck would a laptop recently purchased have VGA in today's market. VGA is ancient tech and for use on much older systems.

        I still almost exclusively buy laptops with VGA because all of the monitors I have deployed are VGA. While many have HDMI available - it's definitely not all, I'm not sure I can even say most - as in more than 50% - you seem to be barking up a tree here, though I can't figure out why?

        How the heck are you finding these laptops? I can't remember seeing VGA on anything. How much extra are you paying for these crazy custom devices just to get fuzzy monitors?

          There is no tree, the argument that was being made is that VGA is some magical technology and that @WrCombs was surprised the laptop his boss bought (within a few months) only had HDMI.

          It's a recent consumer device, why in the hell would any hardware manufacturer build a consumer device TODAY with VGA?

          It would be very interesting to go to BB and see how many consumer devices have VGA on them - I'm thinking most if not all desktop consumer devices still do. laptops - well that would depend - super thin, nope, won't have it - fat cheap ones - very likely could because there's no license fee that I know of for VGA.

          Extremely few. They do exist, but super rare. Nothing we buy or consider buying offers it. Literally the only place I've seen it in years is on do it yourself motherboards.

          Modern video cards haven't offered it in years, the SBC market doesn't use it, laptops of normal size can't fit the connector!

            Entry level ASRock motherboards still include it as a tertiary factor as of two years ago. But I was pretty shocked to find it there.

                Still a bit amazing as including it as an extra feature isn't free. Almost free, but not actually free. LOL I couldn't believe that $50 mobos would waste the money on it.

                  Did it have HDMI or DP also? I would assume that they know their likely market is small time shops that break/fix repair crap for consumers that never upgrade anything.

                    HDMI and DVI, no DP.

                                  @DustinB3403 She uses Square Space (?) and I had her try that too.
                                  Didn't help.
                                  even had her try porn mode.
