[Q] HDMI for Tablet S1

That would be a simple 'no' my friend. Unfortunately, there is no hdmi. The only ports on this tablet are a full sd card slot, and a mini usb. Hopefully, Sony plans on releasing a dock or something? But for now. No hdmi.

You can link it using DLNA or Remote Control
Both easy to set up
DLNA works for listening or watching movies on your TV, kind of similar to HDMI but wirelessly

Yes dlna is great, but cannot compare AT ALL to a direct video hook up. Plus, you would need a dlna server ( computer) to stream your content. An hdmi would only require the tablet to view anything that's stored on it. Dlna doesn't stream content from the files located on the tab itself. Its completely different than what the op is curious about.

I suppose the microUSB port could also be an MHL>HDMI port. Can't find it mentioned in the specs anywhere though. My HTC Flyer's port is MHL, and essentially doubles as HDMI-out if you need it.
I've got an LG Smart TV above my home PC, and DLNA allows any of my tablets using the right app to send video/movies directly to it over WiFi. Not the same as mirroring the whole UI on the TV which you do usually get if a tablet has any form of HDMI-output.

Ok. You're right about that. However, not all dlna-certified devices support the same file formats. Like my bravia will play any picture or sound, but it will not play any videos from android. A samsung will because it has integrated support. So, an hdmi cable will 'obviously' play anything connected to it because it's a direct stream. Also, dlna is best used with a dmc server. Than it would allow any/most formats.

So what exactly do you want to do with your laptop and tablet?
