does this work with all micro to vga laptops / ultra books as a plug and play?

In truth, I don't know. I have used it successfully on everything I have tried it on, but I have also found that the device drivers provided by the OS are of differing quality. In some cases, the output is distorted and in some cases the results are in lower resolutions than the device is capable of. However, I have gotten good results on most laptops, tablets, media players, ultra notebooks, etc that I have tried it on. I had some not so good results on some iOS and android devices.

It does NOT work with a micro USB connector - the Samsung series 5 Ultra book I use it with has a mini VGA port, which is different than a Micro HDMI port or what is used by Apple. You may wish to research the Samsung site to find out more about this port.

It won't work because the VGA port on your laptop is an output not an input.

If you have a minidisplayport output on your PC and you're wanting to connect a VGA female, it should work regardless of the kind of computer.

I have been able to make it work using the following:EnjoyGadgets EGVGARCA Generic PC to TV/VGA to RCA Converter and Lenovo VGA Adapter to TV S-Video RCA Out Cable for PC Video and3M MP 160/180 Pocket Projector Composite Cable The last one was the hardest to find, but if you can find it this combo will work. It was not as simple as it was intended, and I had several conversations with 3M people about the fact that they made lots more projectors than they did the cables to serve them, but to no avail. One person did suggest that I take it to an electronics repair place and see if they can wire an adapter directly into it. Good luck!

It works with a VGA external port (using the hardware functionality) and also if you have a more modern laptop it works even better with the Micro-HDMI and Windows configured to duplicate monitors.

Yes it does work with any laptop that has a standard USB port (almost all laptops have at least one if not more). Works great for kids just learning or people with eyesight troubles, and even begining typing skills for adults. Hope this helps :)

VGA is only for the Visual section, if your laptop came with a Audio Jack, theirs many different kinds one is yellow and only one type of connection, and the other is a normal speaker jack that might work only if the TV has a connection for the speaker jack in the back of it...hope this works if all else fails go to your local Computer store and by an adapter specially made for conversion from the PC to the TV... best of luck

I believe it is compatible with any computer that has a VGA or DVI connection.

No it does not. I would suggest you use a USB to VGA adapter. they work great. Thanks

This has a digital connection (white) and VGA (blue) connection. If your laptop has one of the same connections it should work.

I don't know. I have not tried it. You are better of buying a mini display port to vga adapter.

With the Right adapter yes. it has a digital out as well as the VGA, look on Directronics.

No, VGA has to be the source. You can use our HDMI to VGA adapter: http://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-Gold-Plated-Adapter-USB-Power/dp/B00879DM56/ Please make sure your laptop has a HDMI port.

I purchased this adapter for a laptop that has a micro HDMI output on it. If your laptop has a micro HDMI connector on it, then this adapter will work. If you have a VGA port only on your laptop, this adapter will not work. There are VGA to HDMI adapters available on Amazon.

yes, you MUST also purchase an adapter that turns it into the VGA connections.

If your ultrabook does not have Digital output it will not work. I had to buy a video output card for my desk top to hook it to a hdtv. Most of the older computers have analog outputs. If your ultrabook had a HDMI port you could use a cable that HDMI input and output.
