Hello from France so excuse my poor english.
I want to buy a rift s but my laptop doesn't have a displayport port !
So is there a solution to make it works on my laptop ?
Thank you.

It depends on your laptop and how the discrete/dedicated GPU is wired. Some laptops allow for a USB-C/Thunderbolt-to-DisplayPort adapter to be used, because the laptop has the discrete GPU wired with a DisplayPort, presented through the USB-C port. It's these laptops that would likely work fine with a Rift S.
If your laptop has an NVIDIA graphics card, you can check this by opening the NVIDIA control panel, and looking at the PhysX configuration page. It will lists what display ports are on what GPU. If it shows a USB-C port or DisplayPort under the NVIDIA GPU, then it's likely you can grab an adapter and be good to go. If it shows only an HDMI port on the NVIDIA GPU, then you can't use a Rift S, with the laptop's discrete GPU.
Another option is an eGPU, but this requires an eGPU enclosure, and some method to connect it to the laptop (Thunderbolt 3 in most cases, Thunderbolt 2 on slightly older Macbooks, and mini PCI-E in worst-case on most laptops). This will require a bit more research and potentially be expensive, but ideally it'll allow you to use a desktop GPU on a laptop, and thus use that GPU for anything (including VR and a Rift S).

Maybe look at a Quest 2 with Link cable. What gpu does your laptop have?

Hello, thal you for your answers. If i tell you what the gpu is, would you be able to tell me if the rift s will work ?

Probably a proper gaming pc. Go to the Oculus website to see recommenced pc requirements.
