You probably can find what you're looking for at any popular franchise chain electronics store...or try looking for it at www.pricewatch.com and see if you can find it for a lower price.

RCA/Composite
A composite cable carries a video signal that combines the parts of the video image into one signal. While this makes for lower-cost cables and connections, the quality of the image is not as good as other types of cables. Use to connect your Media Center PC to a TV.
S-Video
S-Video cables separate the signal into two parts, reducing the amount of interference between the source and display and delivering a good quality image. Use to connect your Media Center PC to a TV.
Component Video
With a component cable, the signals that generate the video image are separated into three individual signals. This keeps the images from degrading when the signal travels over the wire. The result is a high-quality image. Use to connect your Media Center PC to a TV.

depends on your tv and your laptop. It should have an s-video port and if your tv has the same just hook it up with that. You can get s-video cables almost anywhere now. Best buy, circuit city, radio shack, etc... Even some drug stores carry them now.
