    it's not that you literally can't, it's just that..well..how the hell are you gonna make up for the space and the horrible, horrible, cooling system?

    unless of course, you want a screwed up VGA at the end

    gaming laptops are designed for that, gaming, and thus they have an architecture that adapts to the VGA's and their cooling system

    in this case, regular, non-gaming, non-customized laptops can't work with a VGA since their architecture simply does not allow it, and that's the case with the OP, he simply can't put a VGA in a laptop

    NCIX is great if you really have to buy one already built. I get all my cords from then at lest (Really cheap HDMI cables and great quality too)
