Title: Panasonic's New Laptops Could Be the Final Death Knell For the Humble
VGA Port

An anonymous reader shares a report: Earlier today, Panasonic announced
refreshed models of its long-established Let's Note laptop series. However,
for the first time in its history, we have a Let's Note portable that doesn't
have a VGA port. According to a report by Nikkei Japan, this is probably the
beginning of the end for laptops sporting VGA output, with "other companies
to follow suit." A number of factors have precipitated Panasonic's removal of
the venerable VGA port. The Nikkei report highlights the strong competition
from HDMI, which can simultaneously transmit audio. We also see that the new
Panasonic Let's Note CF-SC6 models feature a pair of Thunderbolt 4 ports,
which can also be used for video out. That's three separate ports remaining
on the Let's Note to drive external displays.
