The latter. The graphics chip puts out DVI, but no room for it on the
laptop apparently. Some notebooks now have HDMI outputs built in.

There are some other devices that plug into the CardBus or ExpressCard
slot and are essentially another whole graphics card, that has DVI.
Belkin makes these.

I have a Dell dock for a D610 and D620, and it has DVI out. It was very
inexpensive too, only $7.50.
