no hdmi outlet on vostro 1520
I bought a dell vostro 1520 laptop with the following graphics card:
NVIDIA GeForce 9300M 256MB Graphics Vostro
I paid about a $100 extra for this graphics card as opposed to this
Intel® Integrated Graphics Media Accelerator 4500MHD
(the complete specs of the laptop are in the attached file)
I got my laptop today and was surprised to see no hdmi outlet on it, I thought the NVIDIA GeForce 9300M came with an hdmi outlet (e.g. http://www.nvidia.com/object/product_geforce_9300m_gs_us.html says "Full support for HDMI 1.3") and that is the primary reason i bought this graphics card. So I am a little confused why the laptop doesn't have an hdmi outlet? I can try to ask Dell but their tech support is probably not going to know the answer. So if anybody has any ideas, please let me know

No Dell dock available. They sell the Kensington-SD400V USB Docking Station as an option. It has DVI out which can be converted to HDMI.
I hope this helps !
