Is this compatible with a macbook pro? Does it basically give wifi to a laptop?

Yes it is a Wi-Fi antenna to any computer that does not have one. Not sure about the Mac

Yep. I use a macbook pro. The setup is slightly different than with windows, but it works the same.

Yes , just be sure your OS supports it. We have a Mac laptop and 2 iPads working well with it. Connect it to your wifi router for iPads.

If your Macbook Pro has a Mini DisplayPort or Thunderbolt port, than, yes, it will work with your Macbook Pro. Most Macbook Pros have had this since 2009.

The small end will plug into a macbook pro., but if your monitor does not support displayport, you may have to get a cable with a dvi connector at the other end

This does not work with the MacBook Pro. It was pretty laggy on Miracast capable devices as well when I tested it. I find it very deceptive when they say that it supports Airplay devices, when in actuality, it does not. In order for Airplay to work, you need a jailbroken iOS device. You'll be better off just paying a little more money and getting an Apple TV (around $99), which is what I'm going to do now. This product was a waste of money.

Yes, I occasionally connect mine to my Macbook and it works fine. Speeds with 3.0 are great.

I can't answer that. I can tell you that it didn't communicate with a Mac laptop recently.

Sabrina, I connected it to my Macbook Pro through a "Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter". You can buy it from amazon for less than $10. Good luck!

I have Yosemite 10.10.2. If anyone has found a driver that enables this dongle work with my Macbook Air...Let me know and I'll order it. Desperately need a wifi antenna/amp soon... but would be foolish to order until there are some assurances that the thing works!

Yes. MacBook Pro supports Bluetooth 4.0 so it would without any issues. I connected mine to my HP Folio without any issues, and Samsung Galaxy s2.

I have a MacBook Pro and it's great if you need to stream from your computer to a tv. Your tv has to have the HDMI outlet. I will say I use this only when showing iTunes content or things from my computer that cannot be streamed via Chromecast.

Yes, it works with a Mac. I have to be in close proximity for it to pick up the signal. Still worth it to not have to use cables!

Yes, it works with my Macbook Pro which is running Leopard. It works wonderfully from the USB cable, I'm just having issues getting the bluetooth set up!

I can't speak specific to a Macbook Pro, but I am using it with a Windows laptop that has a miniport-HDMI cable and it works fine. I do realize that isn't a Mac, but just in case a Mac user doesn't speak up, thought I'd let you know a miniport-HDMI does work in at least some cases. Best of luck!

It works with Mac. It doesn't even connect to the computer - just goes through your router.

I have an apple macbook pro and it works perfectly with the unit. We are very happy with its performance.
