The GWTC116 has a mini HDMI port. It’s a compact version of the standard HDMI port you can find on most laptops and TVs. For connecting the Gateway to a screen with a standard-size HDMI port, you’ll need a cable with mini HDMI on one end and standard HDMI on the other.

How many watts does this computer use. I am off the grid with total solar power so I am very concerned about energy efficiency

I don’t know the exact number, but laptops with the low-power N4020 and small 11.6″ screens are certainly among the most power efficient ones.

n4020. 6 watt max cpu. 11″ screen.. ips draws slightly more power than tn, but well worth it.
4 out of 5 nice portabe
Douglas Habersaat –
Great for traveling, nice and compact. Annoyances: non-illuminated keyboard, no key to change screen brightness. To change screen brightness, press the “Windows” key and letter I, display settings will show up and a slider will allow easy brightness setting. Otherwise an excellent compact system at a great price.
