Hello All,
Pretty sure this has been done so apologies for another boring thread about setups. I could do with a little assistance if possible. I am not a computer guy, I can turn it on and pick up the odds bits but when it comes to anything hi-tech i struggle. Any help is much appreciated!
Current Set up
Laptop
Acer Aspire 5732z
Intel Pentium T4400 (2.2 Ghz, 800MHz FSB)
Intel GMA 4500M
15.6 HD LCD
3 GB Memory
250 GB HDD
Acer Nplify 802.11 b/g/n
Games Played
At present I am playing 45man SnGs on FTP, generally playing max 9 tables but playing in batches (normally 12 at a time). I play with laptop on knee using the little mousepad. I don't make many mistakes but don't think this is a very +ev set up so to speak. I was reading MC's blog and looked at his set up and think I need to sort this out ASAP. I would like to play 9 tables continuously rather than in batches which is a bit tricky on the lappy.
Proposal
I'm going to buy a computer desk (already got a decent chair but it is currently used to store my man bag and coat), I dont really want to spend any money on a new comp but would like to, if possible, connect my Acer to a monitor (unsure on size but dont want to spend the world).
Help
Is it possible, how do I do it and if I set up a link between Laptop and monitor can I just use the monitor, I really don't know what I am talking about. Hopefully its clear what I would like to do. Basically have a better set up.
Laptop on knee is brilliant... but I feel sitting up properly would be better !

Should be simple to plug in any monitor to your laptop with a vga cable on pretty much any version of windows.
(edit: what gatso said)

i have a port in my laptop for plugging something into but it only had 15 pins. With the ebuyer monitor it doesnt come with a DVI cable and the ones i am looking at wouldnt fit my lappy as far as I can see.
Am i missing something?
DVI is something different to VGA.
my bad
