I am a teacher and often uses a video projector in progress. My new computer does not have a VGA output, this adapter does the job. I do not use its mini cable, but my branch external speakers directly to the adapter. It works very bien.Juste a downside: My screen is reduced so I will come over to use the functionality of the double window offered by Windows 8; So I am forced to use either one or the other window I need. But I'm sure there was a way to fix it ...
