I am looking to use this with a computerized embroidery machine. Is this able to use a USB cable? Also, the embroidery machine asks for a VGA adapter

The laptop comes with 4 USB ports, 2 on each side and there is also a VGA connector on the left side. Let me know if you have any further questions.

No. It's not a USB adapter at all, of any kind. It adapts a full size DisplayPort monitor plug to a Mini DisplayPort monitor plug. It won't let you connect anything to USB, despite the fact that Mini DisplayPort plugs look like USB.

I suspect you are asking more about the connector than the monitor. Please read the following http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_Graphics_ArrayIf you are indeed asking about the VGA connector, then yes the computer comes with an adapter for VGA.

You will need a VGA to USB adapter - you can find them for $39 to $59 ($59 at best buy)

I don't know. All I've used is the HDMI and USB, and have not had any issues at all. The other comment about the USB port being defective makes the most sense. I don't think VGA would deliver power -- I think that has to go through the USB connection.

You cannot plug in VGA directly to this. The built in connection is a similar multi-pin connection called DVI. However, I've used a few different brands and styles of DVI-VGA cables and adapters and the work just fine. DVI is supposedly a higher quality/superior connection, but I can't visually tell a difference in any of my uses. The adapters can add bulk to the back of the connection so consider that. I'm sure there are also mini display to VGA adapters as well, but I've never used them.

Sorry should have clarified - I'm just trying to use a direct, simple wired connection using a USB interface cable directly from my laptop to the printer. It doesn't seem to come online. Have you tried just doing a wired print on a cable that is greater than 6 feet?

I am using it with a Win 7 and and Win XP machine without problems. The only issue would be the Video Connector type. This unit uses the older 15-pin VGA which most computers even today do have (for legacy purposes) but if you only have DVI or HDMI then you will either need a converter or get another Splitter with the proper connector.

Yes. I'm using mine with a thunderbolt to VGA adapter and it works just fine

the adapter is an old Kensington hub, cost about $20 back in the day, might still be available somewhere... had a couple of USB ports, a parallel port, and even a video port if I recall, I attached an external monitor to it (old CRT) and it worked fine... I had to give up my 700m but I replaced it with a Dell z13, no optical drive but still a nice little machine for checking email, etc. good luck

The machine does not operate hooked up to a computer. You load any new embroidery patterns (any that did not come with the machine) from a USB memory stick so your operating system is irrelevant. You would download embroidery patterns onto a memory stick and then plug the memory stick into the embroidery machine. The only time your operating system would be relevant was if you purchased software to make your own embroidery patterns. Hope this helps.

No VGA, Along with Ethernet and CD Drive. A "USB Docking Station with VGA Ethernet" would do the trick (more convenient IMHO), or spend the $75 on a more robust laptop.

I have a pc so i use it via the cable to the monitor however it does have a usb slot that i think will probably work with a macbook. Note, the resolution on this is probably not what your expecting to see it works with simple shapes and colors but most lettering and high quality pictures are blurry and non readable. I believe its somethin like 320 by 200 resolution

If your embroidery machine has a pcmcia slot then yes. I recommend checking the manual of the machine.

No. This is a serial port adapter not VGA adapter. Serial ports are used for modems and console ports on routers and switches.

Sorry never tried it. But should work with USB connection. Just make sure one is recognized as a monitor. Hope you got a little tech experience.
