I have experience with dual monitors and video cards, had a 30" monitor hooked up b4. I decided to get an all in one pc...wanted a mobility, but also wanted a decent sized monitor. Anyways I looked online and cannot seem to find any info on if it is possible to hook up an external monitor to this all in one. There are no VGA outputs, I cannot install a new graphics card or anything. Does anyone have any ideas? thanks

Well what connections does it have besides VGA, and what does your monitor have? You might just need an adapter if it has DVI or something.

If you mean that you don't have any video out ports of any kind and can't add a card, then it's not going to happen.

What about one of those USB monitor adapters? Something like this.

Those things are ok if you're browsing the web or processing words, but fail when you want to watch movies/play games. Shame really.
Maybe in the future when USB3 kicks in.
