Question : Problem: Are there any equipment I can buy to output my laptop to my 7 years old TV?

Hi, I'm considering buying a Fujitsu laptop with Duo CPU, 4GB, and 360GB hard drive.  I would like to be able to watch some of the video on internet to display on my TV which is about 7 years old.  The TV has S video and the, I think it's called RCA connection that has 3 color connector of Red, Yellow and White.  Is there anything I can buy to connect this laptop to output to my TV?  Thanks.

It has an HDMI video port - ideally, you should connect it to an HDTV with HDMI input ports, but since you said it only has s-video and composite, you are left with very poor choices.  You would need an HDMI to s-vdeo or HDMI to composite video converter, and none of these are cheap (a few hundred dollars) http://www.hdtvsupply.com/hdtosvad.html.  Digital to Analog requires complex electronics, as opposed to a simple adapter.  I would recommend that you save the money and use it towards an HDTV with HDMI inputs in the future.

You could get a laptop with a VGA external port and use the device in my first comment, as an alternative.
