big THANK YOU in advance
😃
I had also been thinking about a chrome book for him as the computer can get a little confusing are they any good, he just uses for browsing and downloading. Thanks again 😄","comment":[{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/52435721","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"tardytortoise"},"datePublished":"2024-03-22T08:13:08.000Z","text":"HDMI ports can get dirty or break. On either laptop or TV blasting the port with compressed air from a can sometimes helps by simply blowing away any gunge.
A chromecast device is attached to a TV via a HDMI port and then the laptop screen can be mirrored to the TV screen wirelessly. Of course, if it is attached to the same dodgy HDMI port on the telly it might not work. If there are different HDMI ports on telly and laptop you should try those.
Chromebooks IMHO are brilliant - much better than windows laptops especially for simple browsing. Yes, you can download stuff but chromebooks tend to have limited storage so I would want to know more about the stuff that is downloaded. With a touchscreem chromebook it can be a little easier using pinch-an-punch to magnify a screen."},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/52443245","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"UKBFG"},"datePublished":"2024-03-23T10:42:20.000Z","text":"For the connection, if the HDMI port is dead, you can get various adaptors and use a USB port instead.
Regarding the Chromebook, go for it. They're brilliant and £ for £ can't be beat. So fast and hassle free and a pleasure to use for normal day to day usage."},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/52435100","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Ferris"},"datePublished":"2024-03-22T01:44:29.000Z","text":"Obvious suggestion maybe, but have you tried a different HDMI cable?"}],"commentCount":6,"interactionStatistic":3,"articleSection":"Ask"}
