    Ok so I'm planning to buy a laptop since my desktop pc messed up. I recently bought a LCD monitor for my pc but as I said its messed up now so I would like to use it as a secondary monitor for the laptop. I'm aware that I need to have either a VGA port or a DVI port for me to connect the two together but can someone tell me if this is a VGA port on the left (first picture) and DVI port on the right (second picture)
