    So I had to give a PowerPoint presentation today on my brand new M11x...Hey, well what do you know, no VGA port to hook to the projector...I had to borrow another computer.
    Any ideas on an adapter to the D-Port, or HDMI or USB
    Thanks

    I bought a display port adapter to dvi @ tigerdirect and it works like a charm for my R2. Just do a search for VGA.

    Just don't go DisplayPort to DVI from Monoprice, it is not supported.
