    So I have recently picked up a T500, and was wondering where I would be able to pick up some display port cables.. I would like to get a Displayport to DVI and Displayport to HDMI cable, doesn't have to be a 2 in one cable can be 2 different cables.

    Also I am in Canada so Canadian stores would be sweet :D

    No chance yet....Dell is selling one but that's about it. Normal displayport cables you might find but the others need convertors and seems cable manufacturers haven't got those yet

    You can get cables/adapters from StarTech and their resellers:

    They have been around for some time now, much before the notebooks with DisplayPorts were released.

    Dell is selling those from StarTech and a few cables and adapters from other manufacturers as well:

    You can Google if you need more of them. :D
