[mythtv-users] Suitable laptop/notebook with nVidia out via HDMI?

[Dick Steffens]

I'm starting to think about replacing my old Lenovo M58P with something 
else for my combined MythTV front end and back end. As I was sitting 
there looking over at the collection of hardware the other day, it 
occurred to me to wonder about using a somewhat recent laptop or 
notebook for the job. I see that there are laptops with nVidia video 
hardware, but my initial reading has shown me that there are gotchas. 
One of the search results I found was http://blog.langfinger.org/?p=203 
which says, "... Nvidia does not support the Linux platform officially 
yet ..." So I see that it's not as simple as asking if the laptop has 
HDMI out from an nVidia graphics chip.

Has anyone tried using a laptop as a MythTV front end and back end machine?
