HDMI port on new Macbbok Air?

[DIB1952]

Why no mini HDMI port on the new Macbook Airs, or have I just simply missed something? And if not why not?

Why would the low-end apple notebook get HDMI before the high-end?

Aside from space in the unit to place the port, Apple would probably prefer that you use Thunderbolt (and possibly an adaptor for HDMI).

Yes - you're supposed to use an adapter on the Thunderbolt port
The Thunderbolt port is more versatile than an HDMI...

Does this mean I can connect the new Macbook Air to a tv via a Thunderbolt port and a HDMI cable?

yes just buy the mdp adapter to connect to a HDMI source

Easy and better than cluttering the body with ports and increasing bulk.
