Hi. I just bought a ps4 and I have a hdmi cable for it but I have an old tv that only has composite video ( the yellow cable ).

I will buy a hdmi to composite soon but in the mean time i want to test the ps4 to know if it works and stuff. 

Is there a way to connect it to my laptop with hdmi ? Without internet ?

Not without specialized hardware as the HDMI port on a laptop is output only.

So... I have to wait until I buy that hdmi to composite adaptor ?

If you want to verify the PS4 works? Yes. Or you can buy an HDMI capture device to use on your laptop.

Oh well... Amazon ships in 2 days. I guess I can wait that much :/
