I don't have the notebook yet.
I want to buy a nice Thinkpad, but when I am at home, I want to plug it into a 23 inch monitor.
The monitor has a VGA connection.
What is the quality difference between an HDMI and VGA input?
HDMI is a digital interface - it's capable of higher resolution, and is generally a crisper image (depending on the display it's connected to). VGA is an analog interface, generally has lower resolution capabilities, and is subject to image degradation over long lengths. From a practical perspective - your VGA output should be able to drive your 23" display at the display's native resolution (which is probably 1920x1080 - but not guaranteed). Check both the native resolution of the display, and of the laptop's VGA output to ensure compatibility.
