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

I agree, if you do not see an HDMI output in the laptop specs then it will not be supported regardless of the VGA chipset

I hope this helps !
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.
