minus-squareIlovethebomb@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·15 hours agoI 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?
