The most recent Apple Macbook, Mac, and iMac series use Mini DisplayPort as its outgoing video port. Because Mini DisplayPort has rather rare presence, now this has put lots of Mac users into awkward positions: it is likely you cannot use your Macbook to give a presentation, or output your work project from Mac to another display, or perhaps share your own photos to your family or friends on a bigger screen.
Isn’t Mac supposed to be convenient to use? It is totally not what you’ve paid the good money to Apple for.
Well, at this time, there are actually solutions.

Currently, there is only a very short list of products that are utilizing Mini DisplayPort:
* Apple Macbook, Macbook Air, Macbook Pro 13 inch, 15 inch, and 17 inch;

Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter

* Extend or mirror your favorite workstation to a new screen;
* Give presentation to your own classmates, students or colleagues with your Macbook or laptop;
* Share videos your friends on a bigger external screen or TV.
For the reason that specification is standardized, it is compatible with all the most recent Macs/Macbooks with Mini DisplayPort. And then the video output has resolution up to 1080p (FullHD) and 1920 x 1200 with no compromise in video quality.
