in TV MoneySaving
Does anyone know if the small android laptops can be used to hook up to your tv? I'm looking at possibly getting a second cheap laptop to connect to the tv rather than using this one and have wires going across the room.
Paid off the last of my unsecured debts in 2016. Then saved up and bought a property. Current aim is to pay off my mortgage as early as possible. Currently over paying every month. Mortgage due to be paid off in 2036 hoping to get it paid off much earlier. Set up my own bespoke spreadsheet to manage my money.

    If they have an HDMI or VGA output then yes -only problem I have found is that Sky Go is not supported for all Android tablets -also on those that do, HDMI out is disabled.

    Depending on what price these laptops are, you might be better off just getting a tablet - plenty (but absolutely not all) have some sort of video output that'll connect to HDMI.

    Or getting a tablet which is compatible with your TV (if the TV is smart)
    1. Have you tried to Google the answer?
    2. If you were in the other person's shoes, how would you react?
    3. Do you want a quick answer or better understanding?
