HDMI 1.3 bandwidth is over 10G. Notebook nowadays has HDMI port available. Is that possible that we use HDMI cable to hook up 2 notebook and perform file copy operation?

It's technically possible, as HDMI is a bidirectional interface. however, it is designed for packet streams, and not data blocks.

So, in a practical sense, from a users perspective: No, it's not possible.

Yeah... It's possible, but you'd have to do some pretty low-level hacking (possibly even writing custom drivers?) to pull it off. – Dave Sherohman Mar 1 '11 at 12:20

No its not currently possible to do that, HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) is for video & audio streams only
