Laptop HDMI to Extra screen vga

[richiwatts]

My laptop only has a HDMI slot (no vga). I just bought an extra screen to extend my desktop and didn't even think that I wouldn't be able to connect the additional screen to my laptop (fujitsu amilo si2636)

Are there any adapters I can buy?

Yup, a Google search reveals several alternatives of varying prices:

If you JUST bought the monitor, why not take it back where you bought it, and then look for a monitor that supports HDMI natively? It'll give far better quality anyway.

There are adapters for HDMI to DVI (same exact signals), but none for HDMI to VGA, the HDMI lacks the ANALOG signals necessary for VGA...

since you did not mention what monitor brand/type you have, all I can suggest would be along the same lines as KJV1611, in that you go take back the monitor for a better suited one..
