Notebooks & Netbooks

Be glad, be very glad. I have an Android tablet bought for MSRP from a major (not Acer). Before I bought it the user guide said "Supports HDMI/MHL connections to connect electronic devices to high-definition televisions (HDTVs) and displays.". Then they said I needed an adapter that was not available. Two months later they redacted the user manual to remove the reference. Does "pound sand" have a meaning to you ?

BTW for an additional monitor if you do not mind a bit of delay, a ChromeCast can use wireless to an HDMI TV/Monitor for $35. There is a way to mirror a desktop but you have to know where the button is for the extra menu.

As to GBit RJ45, a good USB 2.0 adapter can do over 50Mb/s. To do more you need 3.0

Acer is charging full retail price PLUS charging for shipping... makes it almost $50, which is kind-of excessive when the specifications for the Aspire V5 model I bought said that it had the RJ-45, VGA and 3 USB ports (implying that the Acer Converter Port was included). Acer isn't willing to do a thing to help me (like waive shipping) so I guess I'm looking elsewhere.

Are there any US retailers that sell this?
