• W520 build quality and warranty

  So I contacted Lenovo to have this repaired W520 (left speaker and fan). They pick up today.

  But now I regret that didn't report any issues with the quality of construction. I thought there is nothing that they can / will do about and build quality are not covered by this warranty. But now I think to myself, it's quite unacceptable (and embarrassing) that my previous laptop, a Fujitsu-Siemens, which cost 500 euros in 2005, has better quality of construction than a Thinkpad 1600EUR of 2011. Is this thing supposed to compete with the Macbook or not? There are many signs of coward and seams, and open the lid, lift, now or in any way manipulate the computer feels very painful and terrifying to all the noises, he does. I find myself being extremely careful whenever I'm moving or touch this thing. Not convenient.

  The bezel of the screen is very loose almost completely, and I'm afraid he'll let dust come into the camera over time. Rubber thingies (sorry for my English) on the bezel are not symmetrical, those left and top look good, but the one on the right is just a half.

  Opening the lid almost always makes a rattling of the left hinge. The left hinge has such a hold tight on its axis it came loose from the base, and moves a little during the handling of the cover. Sometimes, the hinge is so tight that it's a cracking noise when I'm trying to move the lid, which may damage the screen. The right hinge is perfect and again when you move the lid.

  Seams and loose panels can be a simple aesthetic question in the area of the left speaker, where it is natural and understandable that thermal expansion causes some... vagueness. But I find it unacceptable that palmrest produced squeaky noises annoying when my hands are in normal positions of typing. The seam between the Palm and the lower panel is pretty loose almost completely.

  Cover closed, the left corner remains significantly higher than the right. May be related to the asymmetry in the tightness of the hinge.

  Lifting of the computer, if you're holding it in the area of the bottom in front Fn and shift keys, the background often makes a strong sound cracking, as if there was a crack in the motherboard or something. After that, the movement of the cover plays the sound. Very concerning and boring.

  I think it should cover. So my question is, is this normal? Or could I get these fixed under warranty?

  If you have problems of scope screen with fit and finish and the hinge you can ask warranty on it as long as it is not induced by the user.

• Update on X230T build quality? Buy or not?

  Hey,.

  I'm considering buying a X230T. But I don't know if I should. Everything I read on the X230T in the forums have been frustrating.

  Especially when the function keys scratch the screen when it is closed. Were there an update on that?

  Thank you

  I've had my X230T for about 8 months with no problems at construction.

  What about the keys to scratch the screen, I read posts on this before
  I got my X230T so I got this:

  http://www.RadTech.us/products/notebookscreensavrz

  Its a Microfiber cloth that comes in sizes to fit into one
  laptop screen that goes between the keyboard and
  the screen when laptop is folded and prevents
  the keys or anything else to scratch the screen or transfer
  dirt and oil to keys on the screen and also acts as a cleaning
  fabric if you need clean the screen.

  This is particularly important if you get the inside screen (Multitouch)

  option which has NO gorilla glass, but allows

  touch of a finger without pen, as I have. The internal screen

  is apparently much more prone to scratches.

  If you get the Multitouch screen to keep those

  short nails...

• Z3 Compact - component quality is questionable!

  Bought my Z3 compact at the end of June 2015 - it worked for 2 months before I had to send in change of motherboard. Repair order: CF, bat, BC, SH all mean! He Got back-end of September and now: no back button, NO drop-down menu which indicates a digitalizer failure! Try the menu drop down happens with: research applications. One after one, it seems that components main fail in some alarming time. Phone looks like new, never been in the water, never fell. SONY says they have excellent "build quality", but their 'quality of the component' seems rather questionable, in my trash ordinary notice! Got a ' last ticket number: 1-25642409238, however as not expected, no response from local (Malaysia) service and support. My last experience with that time is reckoned that Local service is as bad as the quality of the component. The main reason I bought the Z3 was the good experience I had with my old Sony - Ericsson Xperia Active, that still works, but hard to read in daylight and its "waterproofing" screen. Fortunately, the competitors have improved their sealing intant - off to get another brand?

  So acceptable as a 'solution', I am not sure, let me call you a "concludes" in this case.  Finally got the replacement phone today - 2 days before the expeirs of warranty! I hope that the end of my appearance on this forum!

• USB 3.0 for Z800

  I have 2 workstations Z800 I need to upgrade with USB 3.0. I need to find a PCIe card with power connectors to hold the 2 x 3 pole free cables/connectors in the PC. I found a lot of cards, but they all have the connector Molex 4 pin. Can someone help me?

  TIA/Tomas

  Thomas,

  Here's the deal.  The Z600/Z800 was no USB3.0 integrated on the motherboard. Z620, etc. made.  HP came out with two cards PCIe plug for these Zs prior to provide USB3.0.  You don't want the first version of the map (based on controller NEC/Renasus), with only 2 outputs total of USB3.0, on the backplane of the card.

  You do not want the latest version of the map, based on a Texas Instruments controller with output '2 x 2' to 4 in total. two on the backplane and two interns.  It base map uses the same drivers in regards to the current positions of Z... the TI chip is on the motherboard now but same drivers work.  Here is the map... you don't need to use this small USB3 to USB2 adapter that plugs into the internal card header.  Read more on how you can use this internal header instead.

  http://WWW8.HP.com/us/en/products/OAS/product-detail.html?OID=5153603

  Power: The two versions of cards so need + 5VDC power from the power supply.  + 5V does not come to the top of a PCIe location.  A few other cards or down-regulation another slot 5V tension, but not this one.  I prefer this approach.

  Do not install driver until the card is connected and that the right tension of the card.  You can see from the link above that HP provides an adapter to get the power of a standard SATA power cable, but there's also the Molex 4 pin SATA adapters that can feed the card, and I even pushed the version out of an adapter card TI power-to-SATA disk as an experiment.  Because 4 used USB3.0 ports could simultaneously take a good bit of power supply floppy idea is not a good idea for long distances.  I'm sure you can get all kinds of power supplies, but I would stick to what HP is provided in this kit.  Part of the kit will work very well.  My necessary adapters some adapt themselves because of the strange way that the SATA power plug is attached to the card.  It can be done, but I had to do some fiddling with to use the cables supplied.

  

  Again, don't try to run it or load the drivers without the good food in the first place.

  Now, on this subject, internal set of two USB3.0 ports.  They are in the form of a "2 x 5 header' with 9 total pins to the back end of the card technology, and another port, you see up the SATA type is, the supply of food in the card cable.  The two USB 3.0 ports header allows you to put a cable double forwards in front of the computer where you can site a two port Bay USB3.0 floppy.  Akasa is the best I've ever found in my life, and I have this running in my favorite xw6600.  It is the very high build quality, and introduced a cable long enough to reach on the map:

  http://www.Akasa.com.tw/search.php?seed=AK-hda-06BK

  Antiquing for that number of model with google and you will find some pictures showing the long cable integrated, leaving the unit with the appropriate header plug at its end to mate with header card.  I would like to Akasa had the length specified, but for me, I had used to wrap a part of the cable and zip tie him inside because he was a lot more that I needed for my xw6600 construction.  If you choose to use it, it will be more than enough for your Z800.

  

  Two USB3.0 ports are offset to the right, as you can see, and which puts them near the middle of the side front of the workstation.  I do not use the disk 2.5 "ability of this (other than to the cable being wound in) mount adapter, but it puts the floppy bay area very wisely.  It is a solid well brushed black aluminum front and sides are strong inside.  The set is sturdy and looks great.

  Finally, speed... you want this card plugged into a fast PCIe location.  For my xw6600 two PCIe x 16 slots are type 2 PCIe... Who has the bandwidth to match or beat the USB3.0 features.  For this version of what my video card is at the top of the page x 16 PCIe USB3.0 card is in the bottom.  I'd like to get this card in a PCIe type 1 location.  In the xw6400 that are all two PCIe x 16 slots type 1... 1/2 the speed of type 2 and therefore too slow to fully use the capabilities of speed USB3.0.

• HP ENVY 1090ee 6 - left hinge broken

  I bought HP, Acer, Lenovo and Asus because I thought that the only thing that HP offers each time, is of exquisite build quality. However, today, I was met with a surprise. The left hinge (one near the power button) has apparently unravel, as if on its own.

  Surprised as I was, I contacted the technical support. Surprise, Surprise, my warranty information is wrong. Ive lost out on half a year warranty services.

  FLASH BACK: DUBAI - laptop bought on 3 February, 13 - great expectations.

  SKIP TO PRESENT: INDIA - lost hinge broken and guaranteed.

  Then I took a deep breath and open the HPSA faithful once again, inform the specialist my "fake date of purchase" (note that I am in India at the time). I am informed by the technician that I have 'support of the HP tech to the Arab Emirates UNITED to rectify the problem. '

  A STRIKE.

  Thus, everyone knows how 'good' the guarantee are services in India. I remember having an old all-in-one HP printer. The printer does not work, so we took to the "authorized" HP nearest after-sales service. The first day we went, we were not given any "service". The next day we went, that they claimed THAT NOTHING under the guarantee it covers. They could be right, but oh well, we paid for rectification.

  So now I feel like its going to be a repeat of the last time. And it's funny, because I found a large NUMBER of people having the same problem. I don't want to support the customer, waste BECAUSE I SAW them HELP OTHERS. The sad part is that these people are mostly from the States.

  Maybe its not justified, but it always seems like the developing countries get the worst of both worlds. We are the highest consumer population, and yet we get the inflated prices (I know are due to many factors beyond the control of the company) and poor service.

  I can't believe that there is not a single HP to Mumbai service center is, well, purely HP, and not a 3rd party "authorized dealer". I suppose that can't do anything on this subject and maybe as I write this in vain, but if someone is listening (or reading), may I suggest at least to have a third party service center. This will help a LOT.

  I hope someone can help me.

• Re: Audio crackles on Satellite A500 (PSAR3A - 01 K 002)

  Bought a new Satellite A500 last year and have had many problems, here's a quick run down:

  1 will play not with Win7 64-bit, compatible blue screens pointing to the graphics card driver. Tried every update in the Sun, nothing helps, also tried a full system restore with no luck... finally gave up and moved for Win 7 32 bit and stability seems reasonable.

  2. audio crackles with 64 and 32 bit versions of win 7, once again have tried every update under the Sun, including BIOS and full system restore with no luck. Audio is really shocking and it is worth noting that it is not just the speakers, when I use a headset (and joking around, I had plugged a top of the range $300 pair) it still crackles like nothing else.

  3. fell hardware WIFI switch...! ??? Also note that this laptop was not the biggest of any ill treatment and hase has spent most of it is time sitting on a desk at home and not be mobile (which incidentally is therefore what laptops are designed for should be able to handle)

  4. Webcam not centered, he did on my right shoulder looking into no. mans land making it quite impossible to use and type at the same time.

  Where I am now... Well I took it to Portacom (west Perth) under warranty that I do not advise anyone to do as disassembled for replacement of the webcam, they were pretty useless, and they were pretty rude about it too.

  They said they tested the audio with intensively music with headphones too and can't find anything wrong with that, but yet it still crackles away murdering all my favorite music.

  They said that the WIFI hardware switch was caused by abuse, but there is no sign of violence.

  They do not have check the blue screen with windows 64-bit issue because I had long since given up that at this time.

  I was always a fan of Toshi and that's why I insisted we do a when I upgraded, but it seems he build quality has suffered a little since I finally bought a. I don't think I'll go to another ever again, this machine is wound very badly and has a huge impression cheap on this subject. Even more if you need any technical support, warranty or not, don't bother with Portacom. As I said they are rude and not much help at all really.

  Hey, man

  You are right, the A500 series have problems and the most annoying is audio crackles. I bought my round 4 monts ago and hoped that Toshiba should fix bugs of cracking, but it is still exists. I tried all Bios upgrade, reinstalling the driver, registry settings, but still no solution. As I see it, Toshiba is not care we or am I wrong? They have placed the same driver display simply by changing date you output. As for me, I don't often listen to music on my knees, using a portable mp3 player which fortunately not crackling.
  But anyway, I love this model. He has a good design, assemblage of powerful and high quality. I hope they fix some bugs in the future

• Tecra R10 - Summers - you happy?

  Hello

  I think buying a Tecra R10 with integrated graphics. I read a few reviews on the net, and they look quite good. However, I want the user experience of the users of the real world.

  Are you satisfied with your Tecra R10?
  It runs too hot?
  The build quality is as good as Toshiba sells?
  How about the screen?
  No other complaints?

  Finally, it is easy to open for cleaning?

  Thanks for your help!

  I set a place for a friend and had a play with it for a few days, and I am very impressed with the R10.

  Are you satisfied with your Tecra R10? Yes, the performance and the quality is amazing (this is the SSD model so the start time are blistering fast :))
  It runs too hot? No, the CPU base and effective magnesium keeps cool.
  The build quality is as good as Toshiba sells? The build quality is similar to my Tecra A9, which feels solid and well designed, quality of the materials.
  How about the screen? The screen is a new type of LED, which has the better contrast than normal FL Tube screens. I am satisfied with the picture quality.
  No other complaints? Honestly I can't think of a thing wrong with it. I think to buy one myself.
  Finally, it is easy to open for cleaning? There is a door on the base of the laptop where you can access and clean the radiator. I wish my Tecra A9 had this feature.

• Toshiba UK address?

  Hello

  I am looking for the address and the name of a person of very high Toshiba in the United Kingdom. I have a laptop which to be honest is a terrible build quality.

  Already sent an e-mail but would like to send a letter too!

  If anyone has the address can you please let me know.

  Here's the email I sent.

  Hello

  I am writing because I am dissatisfied with the quality of the construction of my Toshiba Satellite L350. I bought the laptop to the Comet, 18 months ago. 7 months ago the socket broke away and he was to be sent (luckily it was in warranty) since then, the bezel around the screen was cracked, the charger went pop and does not work, and the worst bit of all is that the TWO hinges that attach the screen to the laptop put out. The plastic that the hinges are screwed to a exhume simply packaged. I had to glue the rear hinges on the screen. The laptop is not at all guarantee more, otherwise I would have sent it to fix.

  I think it is terrible that a laptop that is only 18 months old has this kind of problems. I have not abused the computer laptop, used only a few times a week to browse and snap the screen off hinges. I'm not at all happy about it, and the quality of the construction of this laptop is the worst I've ever seen. I have not buy another Toshiba anytime soon, unless the quality of construction increases.

  As I have already stated, I am very annoyed because a laptop £499 should last longer than 18 months. Please answer the questions below.

  The hinges on and the laptop of 18 months must align offshore?
  The socket would come loose off the coast of the motherboard, which I have to send the laptop to the Germany and don't use for 3 weeks?
  Should the bezel around the screen crack and there on my laptop 18 months to break?
  Must the work of pop and stop charger?
  Should I have to tape the bezel around the screen to keep the laptop duck together?

  Hope you can answer some of these questions for me. If the laptop was 3-4 years, I could understand, but not at the age of 18 months!

  Hey Buddy,

  I put t know address of Toshiba in the United Kingdom, but I guess that they won't answer you because you need to contact a service provider authorized in your country. ASP is the first point of contact for any problems and after the warranty.

  I understand that you think you are bored, but on the other side if you have purchased an extended warranty, all problems could be fixed for free. In addition you can get a free warranty extension, if you register your laptop on the official website of Toshiba.

  In any case, now it s too late for that and you should contact an ASP in your country.
  In my view of 1.5 years is a good life if you need laptop every day. A friend of me using this laptop also every day for 8-10 hours (work and home) and it doesn t look again more.

  Finally and above all I'm sure that everything can be clarified with the technicians. :)

• Who is eligible for refund of reliability?

  Hi all

  I am about to enter reliability pay off Toshiba and I would like to know what qualifies.

  Basically, I bought a laptop series Tecra A10 and I can't use for the following reasons;

  1. three of the keys do strong, click sound (as I have to use the laptop more than 12 hours per day, that it is a big problem)

  2. leak screen. The image on the matte screen is not tight so that you can see the light shining through the left and right sides.

  3. the cover seems to be loose. The reason why I produced "seems" is that I'm not sure if this is by design or not.

  4. overall the build quality of the laptop I received is very bad and he seems to need winding or something.

  Of course, the laptop must be returned and this should be as a cut down because the laptop can be changed only by trained technicians of Toshiba.

  Am I qualified for a full refund of reliability?

  Thanks in advance.

  P.S. The laptop was returned to its box 30 minutes after I started using it. Things are really bad.

  Hello

  Looks like there is a hardware problem with your Tecra.
  In this case the Toshiba certified maintainer must be contacted to solve the problem or replace the part.
  I think you should contact the guy and should clarify this point.

  Good luck buddy

• Normal palmrest rMBP 15 '' rattling noise?

  Hi all

  I'm certainly not technically minded, so sorry if it is not a stupid question / too long! I'm also new to the forum so I hope I put this in the right place...

  I have a September 2014 15 "Macbook Pro. Us build some quality problems with it (trackpad rattling, squeaking hinge) I solved last November. Now, however, a couple of new problems have emerged:

  (1) even under slight pressure (put your hand on it or, sometimes, rest two or three fingers on it) the Palm made a rattling noise pronounced, as something that separates from something else and then meeting again when I take the pressure on her.

  (2) the lower part of it can feel quite fragile, and sometimes when I press lightly on it I can hear the sound of two bits to touch metal (noise low 'thought' is the best way I can describe it).

  I was wondering if it is normal - the genius at the Apple store insisted that the mahlstick noise was just the clips that hold the main Board in place. I wasn't convinced as he only started doing a month previously, as surely that this was only the clips making the noise, he would have made noise for 1 day? They also could not find anything wrong with the below.

  I was wondering if these are problems that anyone else has met--I'm not worried that the computer is going to break or anything, it's just a little embarrassing that a premium computer has these niggles build quality!

  Thank you very much for reading!

  Please make an appointment at the Apple Store - Genius Bar store and bring it into service. If you are in the United States or is unable to make an appointment in this way, contact your Apple store.

• Portege R500 - only partially repaired under warranty

  I went back to my laptop from Toshiba R500 to repair under warranty, but it has not been fully repaired.

  The problem was first a noisy fan that resembled a scraping noise and the fan seems to slow or stop, the entire computer became sometimes very hot (too hot to the touch under). Also the computer worked VERY slowly when it is hot. I returned it to Toshiba and repair officer replaced the cooling fan but quoted me for additional repairs, that they were 'out of warranty' £650.

  My question is this: how Toshiba may refuse to repair damage caused by severe overheating legitimate?
  The fact that they have replaced the fan probably indicates that they accept that the fan was defective.

  > Please treat this as a warning against the R500 (in particular, I have no knowledge of other machines from Toshiba).
  > It gets VERY hot in the normal conditions of use. If the fan fails, as mine did, too hot to the touch.

  Sorry but I don't agree with you... One of my friends owns a R500. Everything works fine. Of course some areas notebook placed near the cooling modules, and cooling grids are hot but it's nothing unusual.

  You will encounter this issue on all, small (12.1 "and similar) cell phones (not only the portable Toshiba) because these books do not have enough room for the cooling of the huge modules as on the portable 15"or 17".
  So you will always notice that the upper part of the cover or the keyboard is hot.
  Also, the case cannot be broken because of the higher temperature.

  However, I don't want to defend anyone or anybody, but this simply isn't fair to say that it is a poor build quality...

  Finally and above all, I must say that I had good experience with Toshiba laptops (I have two different models of Satellite: U400 and A210).
  U400 is a small model similar to the R500 to 13.2 "and I noticed that the keyboard is hot on the left side because of the cooling module and the grids on the left.

  To return to your question
  Has anyone else had similar problems?

  Yes, as mentioned, I noticed that my keyboard or the left side is warm but it is not a problem but a behavior common to all small notebooks

• Satellite A100-237: need some information and details

  All,

  While seeking to buy a new laptop, I was offered the Satellite A100-237. This laptop is T2400 / 80GB / 512MB with screen 15.4 "and ATI x 1600 video.

  I searched in the Toshiba Europe website but could not find any trace for this model. Only when I googled I found that this model is sold in South Africa.

  My questions are:
  -What is the similar model sold in Europe?
  -Is this model a new or will be interrupted?
  -Is this compatible Vista model?
  -Is this compatible Merom (Core 2 duo) model? I know that other manufacturers offer instructions and BIOS update to upgrade Yonah for Merom.
  I couldn't find this information on the Toshiba web site.

  Your help is very appreciated.

  This model is also sold in Europe (or at least in the South-Eastern and Central Europe).
  It's a new model - April or in May 2006, I think.
  He has a capable 'Vista' sticker on this subject, so I guess he can run Vista.
  In principle the Intel 945 chipset can support the Core 2 Duo with a simple update of the BIOS. The question is whether the laptop manufacturers that will provide a new BIOS.

  The build quality is very good, the only weak point in my opinion is that it comes with only 512MB. 1 GB of RAM would have been a much better companion for the T2400 and X 1600.

• ThinkPad T450s Review

  Introduction
  

  The ThinkPad T450s is one of the best new ultrabooks. If it is not as slim as some, it is still quite compact and easier to service than the thinner machines and screen Full HD IPS is a standout feature.

  This review is based on a ThinkPad T450s, 20BX Type of Machine production, product ID 20BXCTO1WW.

  • Intel Core i7-5600U processor
  • 8.1 Windows Pro 64
  • 14.0 "FHD (1920 x 1080)
  • Camera HD 720 p
  • Intel HD 5500 graphics card
  • 4 GB DDR3L - Base of 1600 MHz SDRAM
  • Fingerprint reader
  • Hard drive 500 GB, 7200 RPM, 2.5 "
  • ThinkPad battery 3 cells Li-Polymer (23.2Whr) before
  • ThinkPad battery 3 cells Li-Polymer (23.2Whr) rear
  • Country Pack 45W in the United States (2-pin) adapter
  • Intel 7265 AC/B/G/N Dual Band Wireless + Bluetooth Version 4.0

  From the receipt:

  • 4 GB Samsung SO - DIMM has been installed
  • Hard drive has been replaced with 1 TB Samsung 850 EVO SSD.

  Construction
  
  T450s build quality isn't old ThinkPad level, with a clear devaluation, but is still very good. Problems include the difficulty of dislodging the lower lid (after removing the 8 screws) for joining plastic textured inside and fingerprinting, revealing instead of the old finish rubber. But it is quite solid, no bending and quite compact.

  Connectivity
  
  Port is good enough on both sides with nothing on the back. All USB ports are 3.0 with excellent performance. But Mini DisplayPort means you need to maybe buy and carry a dongle of easy-to-lose. Performance of the Wi - Fi connection (802.11ac Intel 2 x 2) seems better than previous cards Intel generation 802.11n, even those with 3 x 3. Bluetooth connections are fast. The speakers are decent, but nothing to write home about. Quality of the webcam is improved over previous generations, but still struggles in low light. Fingerprint reader is a great improvement. (Thanks, Apple.)

  Performance
  
  The good news is that the i7 T450s finally turns out to be a bit faster than the i7 Sandy Bridge (T420s) on the tasks of processor such as video encoding, despite a processor intensive ultra low voltage a bit more slowly. The machine is cold and silent most of the time, with only a gentle breath of air under high load.

  Memory

  4 GB of memory is soldered to the main Board and there is only a single SO-DIMM location. While you can add a 8 GB SO - DIMM for 12 GB total, that would mean that half of the memory could run in single channel mode, which can have a very important impact on the performance (as much as 20-30%), especially since the graphics adapter integrated uses part of the main memory (memory available). So if you care about performance, you need to stick with 8 GB, which can be marginal for things like video editing HD Ultra. (The impact on the performance, of course, also applies to machines with only the Basic 4 GB of memory. The promised NVIDIA 940 M graphics option is not yet available.)

  Screen
  
  The IPS 1920 x 1080 screen can take some getting used to, but is really much better than TN screens and is close enough to a calibration right out of the box. (Remember to burn on the screen for at least 24 hours before making any justice.)

  Keyboard
  
  The keyboard of the island is pretty good for what it is, but the provision still suffers compared to the classic ThinkPad keyboard. Homepage layout end delete and PrtSc are poor and other keys like Pause/break are missing entirely, now only available as Fn combinations (such as Fn + B for Break) that are not marked on the keys. Also annoying is the lack of status lights of the hardware (your hard drive, Wi - Fi, Bluetooth, load connection). You can count on the Windows taskbar for wireless and in charge, but you will need to install something like DiskLED (which works well) to the disk activity. Keyboard backlight is usable (despite some annoying light crosstalk between the top row), but not as good as the classic ThinkLight.

  Power

  With just the standard 2nd battery, not long battery life with big bulge on the bottom, the T450s still usable on and off by a day without running out of battery power. The power adapter provided is quite small, but only 45W, cannot quickly fresh when the system is under load. If you care about fast charging, you should get the Slim 65W adapter.

  Summary

  A return for most welcome to your ThinkPad, with a very good IPS screen and finally enough power processor ultra low voltage measure to the Sandy Bridge.

  Belkin Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter is available at low cost from B & H.
