VGA?
Must be 2005
These are new? Like really new?
Interesting…
Got some stellar reviews there (not really)
business laptop, lots of products still use VGA and even Serial ports. Mostly in business context
businesses will save a buck on things like displays especially for business costs…
so like if this guy wants to present off his laptop, there shouldn’t be any compatibility issues
a lot of old projectors use VGA
Some of the 1 star reviews is making me worried about this purchase
buy a new ssd and open that puppy up, replace it, and then reformat windows to it.
its a lot of work if you don’t know what you’re doing, but if you already made the purchase and might need to do that later
interesting. Thanks for trying to help!
It already has a ssd
you’re right, you could actually just reformat that SSD.
for some reason the reviews made me think that the ssds in these units might be bad. as people are reporting issues with the ssd + blue screens (which may be related to the operating system)
Oh yeah, I see that. Ssds are not to expensive but a good clean format might clear that up. But ssds don’t “format” like platters do, do they.
Actually not true - most businesses these days are eliminating VGA altogether, if they havent already. No newer AV systems will connect into VGA, nor monitors. I have worked in AV and End User support in corporate america for decades - VGA is legacy
The VGA port, which originated back in 1987 in the IBM PS/2, remains as one of the longest standards in the PC industry.
It’s tied with the 6-pin keyboard and mouse ports, which also originated on the PS/2.
they definitely operate differently, im not even 100% on this but im pretty sure formatting just refers to the process of wiping the drive and “formatting” or setting it up for a certain filesystem (NTFS, FAT32, etc)
they drive will appear in the same place a hard disk drive would appear, with the same options for formatting and stuff, however im sure the actual process is much different
But its no longer standard in any office equipment - its a legacy design.
There isnt hardly a screen manufactured today that will accept VGA
HDMI
USB
Wireless
Those are the current standards
VGA is legacy
Yo’ mama is so old, if she were a business laptop, she’d have a VGA port.
