And, I prefer online buying for Dell products as I can choose whatever I want, whenever I want. Dell Vostro does has s-video port to connect to TVs, VCRs, and DVD players. And, other connectivity ports are USB 2.0, firewire 1394, vga-out, dial-up port and lan port. The only things missing are serial-port (DB9 com port) and PS/2 port which their functionality can be replaced by USB 2.0. This post has been edited by eclectice: Apr 10 2008, 12:47 AM

But, I don't think so for laptop systems due to heat dissipation issue and design. This post has been edited by eclectice: Apr 10 2008, 08:55 AM
