This beastie is just the thing for laptops like many recent Apple ones that have a combination headphone/mini-Toslink port. To work neatly, you need to convert from the mini-Toslink to standard Toslink, and make a right angle turn. This adaptor does both, allowing you to use any Toslink cable you already have.

Little more to be said.

BUT...

I use this setup to connect my Apple laptop direct to my HDTV, enjoying perfect sound.
This works perfectly with Mediabridge Premium Toslink Cable (Optical Digital Audio Cable) converting my Apple Laptop's optical Mini Plug to Toslink. Because it is a right-angle adapter, it eliminates strain on the toslink, conveniently allowing it to drape to the floor before being routed directly to the TV.

Apple does not currently support full regular HDMI connection. The optical mini plug must be used for sound. Sound is not sent through the Mini DisplayPort/HDMI adapter - only video.
