Hi,

I was just about to buy a Dell XPS 15 at a great price tonight and noticed that it doesn't have a VGA port. I would use this a lot for dual screens and also plugging into projectors etc.

Do any of you have a Dell XPS 15 and had to find a workaround for this problem? The laptop does have a HDMI out and a digital display port. I have a read a few other forums and reports aren't great about adapters i.e. digital display port to VGA or HDMI to VGA.

These usually have a mini display port the same as MacBooks. If you go on eBay you'll find adapters to change to VGA,Hdmi and a few other ones I can't think of off hand. Plus the MacBook adapters do work with dells.
