      It can be my call if I decide that's what I want to do.

      Gotcha, then yeah why deal with managing multiple work-spaces unless there was a critical need for it.

      Just looked at my Laptop - There's no VGA.. Its HDMI .
      I dont have a HDMI Monitor.. But I do have a HDMI to VGA adapter .

      Why the fuck would a laptop recently purchased have VGA in today's market. VGA is ancient tech and for use on much older systems.

      Why the Fuck would we purchase something that can't be used ?

      Your laptop has HDMI, your monitor does not. I'm assuming your employer is just playing at being at business. It's insane to have monitors that are VGA only. . . that's at least 8 year old equipment.

      Our PC's we sell to customers dont' have HDMI so why would we need HDMI?

      What does that have to do with the conversation about a recently purchased laptop and the technology that is in it?

      The business purchased a laptop (have you ever looked at the current market for laptops, almost none are going to have VGA ports). Thus the business should purchase (it's employees, fuck the customer at this point) modern equipment to be used with their current laptops.

      you're completely and blatantly missing the point.
      The company wont buy anything they wont use to sell to a customer unless it's specifically asked for. because unlike 85% of ML - i work in a Customer Driven Industry.

          So the business ends up selling their own employees computers to customers after they've been used? Holy crap this place is bad. .

                    Because it's practically unheard of to sell equipment to a customer after it's been used for production for another business. Is the equipment sold as "Used" at least?

                    equipment isn't sold used.
                    these PC's came from inventory - as they were supposed to be sold to a customer.

                      It can be my call if I decide that's what I want to do.

                      Gotcha, then yeah why deal with managing multiple work-spaces unless there was a critical need for it.

                      Just looked at my Laptop - There's no VGA.. Its HDMI .
                      I dont have a HDMI Monitor.. But I do have a HDMI to VGA adapter .

                      Why the fuck would a laptop recently purchased have VGA in today's market. VGA is ancient tech and for use on much older systems.

                      Why the Fuck would we purchase something that can't be used ?

                      Your laptop has HDMI, your monitor does not. I'm assuming your employer is just playing at being at business. It's insane to have monitors that are VGA only. . . that's at least 8 year old equipment.

                      Our PC's we sell to customers dont' have HDMI so why would we need HDMI?

                      What does that have to do with the conversation about a recently purchased laptop and the technology that is in it?

                      The business purchased a laptop (have you ever looked at the current market for laptops, almost none are going to have VGA ports). Thus the business should purchase (it's employees, fuck the customer at this point) modern equipment to be used with their current laptops.

                      you're completely and blatantly missing the point.
                      The company wont buy anything they wont use to sell to a customer unless it's specifically asked for. because unlike 85% of ML - i work in a Customer Driven Industry.

                      So the business ends up selling their own employees computers to customers after they've been used? Holy crap this place is bad. .

                      where did you come up with that?

                      For "My" clarity and sanity, are they dedicated POS (no pun intended) systems that you sell?

                                        Who said anything about VGA being some magical technology?
                                        I said ; "My Laptop doesn't have a VGA port" So by default I can't run my 2nd Monitor off the laptop without a) getting a HDMI compatible monitor or B ) using a VGA to HDMI adapter to run the monitor (which I have one).

                                        you made up the "some magical Technology" - I have another question though - Is being Right really that important to you that you have to make up information that was never said?

                                        This started cause you asked "what was stopping me sic from using my laptop as my main device" and I told you.

                                        You're telling me you run HDMI to all of your End user Devices?
                                        If not then how is your argument valid?

                                          It can be my call if I decide that's what I want to do.

                                          Gotcha, then yeah why deal with managing multiple work-spaces unless there was a critical need for it.

                                          Just looked at my Laptop - There's no VGA.. Its HDMI .
                                          I dont have a HDMI Monitor.. But I do have a HDMI to VGA adapter .

                                          Why the fuck would a laptop recently purchased have VGA in today's market. VGA is ancient tech and for use on much older systems.

                                          I still almost exclusively buy laptops with VGA because all of the monitors I have deployed are VGA. While many have HDMI available - it's definitely not all, I'm not sure I can even say most - as in more than 50% - you seem to be barking up a tree here, though I can't figure out why?

                                          There is no tree, the argument that was being made is that VGA is some magical technology and that @WrCombs was surprised the laptop his boss bought (within a few months) only had HDMI.

                                          It's a recent consumer device, why in the hell would any hardware manufacturer build a consumer device TODAY with VGA?

                                          It would be very interesting to go to BB and see how many consumer devices have VGA on them - I'm thinking most if not all desktop consumer devices still do. laptops - well that would depend - super thin, nope, won't have it - fat cheap ones - very likely could because there's no license fee that I know of for VGA.

                                            Yes, because VGA is a tech that is reserved for specific use cases today. Literally 0 consumer devices come with VGA today as the norm. HDMI, DP or USB-C are what is used.

                                            Servers and terminals (like what you support and sell) may use it, but that is because it's old stupidly cheap tech.
