Yep pretty unlucky I've been in regards to HDMI
I picked up a Thinkpad T410 as my personal laptop for torrents and streaming etc
Does Lenovo T410 have HDMI port?
The ThinkPad T410 serves up a fairly standard collection of ports. ... You won't find an HDMI port, but the laptop's DisplayPort will allow you to connect it to an HDTV.
