The Mini-VGA connector is used on laptops and other systems in place of the standard VGA connector. Apart from its compact form, mini-VGA ports have the added ability to output both composite and S-Video in addition to VGA signals through the use of EDID.
Today the mini-DVI connector has replaced mini-VGA in most applications. The connector is most commonly seen on Apple Computer's iBooks, eMacs, and some iMacs, but has also been included on several laptops manufactured by Sony.
