sadly, still no HDMI or display port, so your not going to get a whole
lot of mileage out of this laptop.

BUT. Lenovo's SL series has the 9400M chipset as an option, along with
an optional Blu-Ray drive. All of the SL's come with HDMI, so you
could easily connect that to a home theater and take advantage of
VDPAU/PureVideo.

Which is why I have one on order =P
