Yes if your monitor has a HDMI port. You can use HDMI direct from your laptop to your monitor as well. This docking station doesn't offer much value. If you add its cost plus a decent monitor your better off buying a refueled Apple Cinema Display from Apple.com. From within the store scroll to the bottom and click the Clearance & Refurbished link to see used or returned monitors for much less than new prices and they still get warranty from Apple.

Based upon the one which have which is several years old now it had a standard older monitor cable connection. I don't recall what it was called - it is not USB compatible.

I had to buy a dvi adapter for my macbook in order for the video cable to connect to it. It has excellent resolution for Powerpoint.

I use mine w/ an DVI adaptor plug and it works. You also need USB port to use the touch, so two cables and the respective ports on each. It should work, just be sure to be able to return the Dell if it doesn't.

Unless you have some special speakers all computer spekaers and monitors will connect with the new and newer systems... you may have an issue with the monitor as most current systems have dropped the old VGA pin connector in favor a the new DVI/HDMI connections... so worst case you have to buy a cheap converter or invest in a new monitor... your eyes will appreciate that!

There is a Display Port to Mini Display port cable so ---> mDP to macbook, DP to monitor, walla 4k goodness, make sure your macbook is late 2013 for 4k to work, it will only work @ 30hz under mac os, but will run fine @ 60hz in windows via bootcamp,

Yes you can. You just need a VGA cable. The same one you use to connect your computer hard drive to the monitor.

The Mac Pro 14" is off the question. I try to hook it up with the only way possible this monitor offers the Dual Link DVI with a apple thunderbolt or mini DV to DVI and it did not recognize it. Other wise greattest monitor I ever own, and I own almos every high end dell and Mac monitor that came out in the past 10 years

What model of Dell Core i5 do you have? Does it have a DisplayPort or is it a mini-DisplayPort? Cable Matters also makes a mini-DisplayPort to VGA adapter. If your Dell does have a full size DisplayPort connector then this adapter should work fine to transfer a video display from the DisplayPort connector on your Dell to the VGA input on the presentation projector. You will need an ordinary VGA cable in addition to this adapter to complete the connection to the projector. Sound from the Dell will not go over this cable so you will need a separate sound cable if you want to transfer sound from your Dell to an external sound system for the presentation.

MANUFACTURER ANSWER: Thanks for posting your question here, Tewana! If your Dell monitor only has VGA ports, then you cannot use this product to connect the Dell monitor to any computer as the Plugable USB3-HDMI-DVI does not support VGA. It only supports connectivity via HDMI and DVI. Hope the above information helps! If you need any additional information, please do feel free to shoot us an email at support@plugable.com. We are here to help! Thanks! Regards, Roze Plugable Technologies

You will need the cable from the Monitor to connect to the adapter and the computer!!

yeah, but you'll need an adapter and a damn DVI cable since it's not included with the monitor. Adapter I bought for my Macbook pro was only about $15.

Yes you can! My MacBook Pro 13inchs screen recently broke so I got a VGA adapter, hooked it up to my TV & it worked.

I am sorry that I don't have the cable accessible to answer this question. However, I know it connects to DELL laptop through standard VGA to DVI converter

Yes. Thunderbolt is backward compatible with DisplayPort. I'm using this very same cable to connect my Macbook Pro Retina to a Dell monitor without any problem whatsoever.

Yes. It is hooked up to a 2006 year model Dell monitor. I have had no problems with cable as of this date. Shows 50hz-60hz on back of monitor.

Scrupples' answer sounds about right. Maybe look for a budget monitor. I wonder if you could back up your old computer and then load the files onto the Dell. I'm not the most computer savvy guy BTW.
