They re-added out of pressure from pros
I recently bought a refurbished laptop, and a large part of the reason I got it was for presentations, HDMI was a must have feature for me.
I imagine any enterprise laptop would be similar, if you can't hook it up to the projector, why bother?
Well, if you use such legacy style of connection to projector, I may agree, if it was not that easy to upgrade the cable to have a c to hdmi adapter mounted all the time.
I connect wireless to my projectors, like, everywhere.
Homie, the non profit club we're renting a room from isn't going to buy a new projector just because I think HDMI is beneath my dignity.
Projectors have a long lifespan, and don't tend to be replaced until they actually fail.
Besides, HDMI can transfer up to 48 gigabit/sec, so it's actually faster than anything but the very latest standard of USB.
Lol, you do not need a no projector, just a hdmi to c dongle on the hdmi cable that is already there -> 5 to 20 dollars
And if it is that old, it will not need 48gb/s or do you have 8k 120hz?? (This would be veeeery expensive)
I'm not using a dongle for something I use daily like that.
Well that seems like a you problem..
Not really, because my computer has an HDMI port.
