I don't know about connecting a laptop to the monitor but I have attached my PC CPU to the monitor using an HDMI cable. The cable is a Micro HDMI to HDMI and the VSD220 can be connected using the Micro HTMI end of the cable. I can offer no guarantees but if your laptop will accommodate the standard HDMI it is my guess that you would have no difficulty. The web cam will not work in the PC mode and the touch function also needs a USB connection between the PC and the monitor. Best of luck to you...I think the monitor is great and it is handy to have two operating systems available (the Android in the monitor and the PC from a separate CPU).

It has a microHDMI connector for video input, and comes with a microHDMI-to-standard HDMI cable. It all depends on the video connector available on your laptop. There are relatively inexpensive adapters ($7-15) to go from microHDMI to VGA (if your laptop has a VGA connector), or standard HDMI to micro HDMI (if your laptop has micro HDMI connector). If your laptop has a standard HDMI connector, you'll be all set to go with the cable that comes with it.

No this computer is not touch screen. With Windows 8, if you have other touch screen techy stuff, you might be better of than I am. I am switching to Windows 7 ASAP because the 8 is a totally new route to learn.

Nope sorry. And you really need a mouse I've found. The touch pad really doesn't cut it with windows 8.

It depends on the OS you have installed. For my Windows 7 system the drivers were already onboard. When 1st connected Windows searched its own driverbase and asked me to verify the device. Then all was good to go. I imagine Win8 would be about the same. Note that for the touch function to work you must also connect a usb port & the cable supplied with the monitor is fairly short. You might want to have a 6 to 10 foot usb cable on hand to make hooking up easy.

There are two cables that need to be plugged in. One is the hdmi and the second is a micro USB cable in the front left side of the computer wich will enable the touch screen functionality on the monitor.

It doesn't require any drivers, or at least any that you personally have to install or download. It connects via Bluetooth and you just need to have Windows search for Bluetooth devices. It was a piece of cake.

You need an HDMI cable for sound and picture and there should have been a USB cable that came with it to hook it up to your computer for the touch screen functionality.

The description of my laptop never mentioned "touch screen" or "touch screen enabled". If there is a product description stating either of those for your laptop, then dismiss that verbage. I suppose that since this computer runs windows 8,that you could run a touch monitor off of it. But that would be stupid. If you want touch screen, then I recommend that you go buy a different computer with a touch screen.

I stopped using it months ago but at the time there was no driver for Windows 8 and according to what I was told by their support desk there was no plan to provide one. I settled for using an HDMI cable to connect to my TV.

not sure about the hdmi but I used the dvi and the usb. the usb sends the touch features back to the computer

No cable is supplied other than the short one to connect to a computer. You would need to purchase connecting cables for a monitor, etc. separately.

I recently buy it, I have Win8 and Win 8.1, I connect it via DVI to HDMI, but the touch does not work in any of the two operating systems, Did I miss something ? Please Hep !!!!

The "touch" part of this monitor requires you to connect the monitor via the supplied USB cable to your computer and you must install the software that comes with this monitor. Once you've done that "touch" will work and it works very, very well for Windows 8. Very impressive.

No - so you cannot take advantage of the Windows 8 touch-screen functionalities on this laptop

I'm not sure I understand the question...but you'll need the VGA connection for video and the USB connection for Keyboard and mouse connectivity, should you choose to use it. It will function without the USB being plugged in, if that's your concern. Hope that helps...
