Blue tooth is over 20 years old, right in my wheel house  I just load up a mem card with a bunch of movies and stick it in my laptop. Nothing sticks out to catch on the computer bag, and less drain on the laptop battery. We've found that you can't really tell how fast a hotel's wi-fi availability might be by the price of the hotel, so having some flicks on the laptop is a good deal when you just want to flop around. Those shortie USB drives are not an issue when you are putting the computer back in the bag but it is not that hard to plug in a large form factor thumb drive once you take it out of the bag. You are plugging in cables and such anyway unless you really like watching movies on that tiny screen or listening to music on that tinny speaker in a laptop. Most big screens have a VGA port but if they don't, I have a VGA to HDMI dongle. I just prefer the VGA because it is not as picky about resolutions. It is plug and play. Sometimes you have to diddle with screen resolution to get the HDMI going depending on what TV you are dealing with. |
