Need Good Laptop With DVI Out

[Ioman]

Anyone know of a good business-class laptop with DVI output on it? I was not able to find one from Dell.

Second question: Some of the Dell laptops have the option to purchase a Belkin KVM switch which plugs into the laptop's PCCard slot and has DVI out. If the laptop does not have DVI out directly, but the KVM switch does, will the switch's DVI out work still?

Bump. Any ideas?

I'm not sure about your second question. How much are you looking to spend?

The Asus A8 series (14.1", C2D, Various Video Cards) have DVI out.
The Z series thinkpads also have DVI out via a docking station.

ok great, I will check it out. Know anything about the Dells.

I think the only Dells with DVI out are the E1705 and the XPS M1710. I'll see if I can dig up more stuff.

All of the dell laptops that have a docking thing on the bottom (includes all latitudes afaik)can output dvi using a D/Port Advanced Port Replicator. You can find them cheap on ebay ($30-$40). This is good if you don't need the dvi port to be portable.
