HDMI /VGA Question!

HDMI /VGA Question!

My wife has a Dell Studio laptop which only has an HDMI output on. We didn’t realise this when we bought it (we assumed it had VGA or DVI).

She wants to plug it into a digital projector at work, but I think most of them have VGA inputs.

I know it is possible to get an adaptor to convert HDMI into DVI very easily, but how about HDMI into VGA? HDMI is digital and VGA is analogues so I am not sure how that would work (apparently DVI has backwards compatibility)

Any ideas on how to do this, preferably without spending a lot of money! Thanks!
