I'm trying to figure out why laptop manufacturers continue to put VGA ports on instead of DVI. You can convert DVI to VGA with a US$5 adapter, but to convert VGA to DVI (or HDMI) you need something much more expensive (US$300+). It seems especially glaring in this case since I can't imagine using the small screen full-time.
It seems that Apple is the only company that's thinking since all their laptops have DVI. Considering the MacBooks use the same Intel GPU, that can't be the issue.

Grr, VGA
