Anyone that owns an HP Mini knows that by default it does not come with a way to connect an external monitor to it, as it comes with a proprietary video port. HP has listed a VGA cable adapter on their site for a while but until now it has not been available for purchase. Well HP has now listed the cable for sale and it can now be found on their site for $19.99:
HP apparently had to go with a proprietary port in order to save limited space on the Mini chassis, however
personally I think it is a bad design when you require the purchase of an additional cable to use the VGA port. If anything they should have included it with the purchase! But anyway, if you have an HP Mini and would like to hook up a monitor to it you now have the option by purchasing the cable from HP.com.
