HP Mini 1000 - Where is the VGA Adapter?
I've been eying netbooks for a while now. In particular, the HP Mini 1000 seems to be a good candidate. I've seen it in person and I like it. It has a decent keyboard, full size right-hand shift key, it's pretty to look at, and the price is about right. But there's one thing stopping me; the VGA adapter.
Although HP has advertised the ability to connect an external display via the VGA adapter add-on cable, that cable is nowhere to be found. There are all sorts of discussions going on, and this thread pretty much sums it up. There's no adapter yet, and a number of folks who've already bought the HP Mini are waiting for it impatiently.
That's also the deal breaker for me. As soon as I can order the vga adapter, I'll consider getting an HP Mini 1000, unless we're already looking at the next generation of netbooks, perhaps with built-in HDMI.
