Skylake graphics do not have VGA connector support

story imageIntel has released more information regarding the availability of Skylake, their successor to Broadwell. The first surprise is that Skylake is still on track for an end of year release in 2015. After the delays with Broadwell, many thought that the Skylake roll-out would be similarly pushed back. Because of the lack of delay, the first Skylake chips will ship to manufacturers only a few months after the general availability of desktop Broadwell models.

Another surprise is that the Intel Gen 9 graphics completely do away with VGA connector support. That's right, the 15 pin analog "D" shaped connector is finally getting nixed - at least from the built-in Intel graphics.

Unlike Broadwell, which only supports DDR4 memory on the server and the extreme versions, Skylake will finally support DDR4 on consumer rated models.

What about my time? When I buy a MacBook, I know I'll get a laptop that will mostly work with little effort on my part, and it will be relatively durable, even if it is expensive. I don't want to spent $500 on a non-Apple laptop and then waste $5000 of my time trying to get OS X to run on it, to only get it kind of working in the end, just so I can avoid buying a $2000 laptop. A fella like me just doesn't have time to waste on crap like that!
