I have a mid 2012 Macbook Air 13". I would like to use 2 external HDMI monitors. Would this be possible using the hub's 2 Thunderbolt ports?

No, because one port is used to connect to the mac, leaving only one port to go out to hdmi via a converter (the only flaw of the dock: no hdmi port)

It wouldn't be possible unless your monitors have Thunderbolt I/O and support daisy-chaining.The Thunderbolt dock has two thunderbolt ports, yet, you use one of them to connect your Macbook to the dock and the other port as your Thunderbolt I/O for connecting to other devices.

The dock only ultimately provides one thunderbolt connection. So with my early 2011 macpro I still had only ability to have one additional monitor but I don't have an HDMI connector. Not sure what the Air has. Ultimately I bought a new MacBook Pro with two thunderbolt displays and now have two external monitors and the laptop display. Love it and it gave me an opportunity to upgrade.

Nope. One of the ports will be used to connect it to the mac. Don't bother getting this it's a complete and utter waste of money

That's how I use this for, external monitor. Since there are two types of display port for Macbook Pro, make sure you buy the right one. My Macbook Pro was bought couple of years ago so it usese thunderbolt display port.

I am using it for a 2nd monitor for my MacBookPro. If your MacMini has a thunderbolt connection, I don't see why it wouldn't work for a 2nd monitor. In doing a quick search, it appears this is supported (providing you connect the 1st monitor via the hdmi-dvi adapter). https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4732629?start=0&tstart;=0Happy Dual Monitor computing!!!

That is correct. Mine worked very nice to connect my Mac Book Air to an external monitor.

I think you need the cheaper Mac display port cable. The TBolt is pretty much for data I believe.

Yes they would. I currently have a macbook pro retina with two of these. I have two monitors, plus use the macbook's display as a third monitor and then sometimes connect a fourth monitor like my tv to the hdmi port. All 4 at the same time.

Yes, but one needs to be connected via hdmi and second via usb or one of them needs to be a true thunderbolt monitor. Putting an adapter on thunderbolt output will not work.

These devices connect an HDMI output to VGA. The MacBook air has a Mini DisplayPort output on its Thunderbolt connector. This isn't the correct device to adapt that to VGA.

No, I have a Macbook Air and the HDMI port is much smaller. This product will not fit. I bought this instead and it works very well:http://www.amazon.com/Neewer®-Displayport-ThunderBolt-Adapter-MacBook/dp/B007MYZ4QC/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid;=1403980493&sr=8-3&keywords;=macbook+air+hdmi+adapter

I have a MacBook Pro 13" (late 2013) and I am using this stand and two monitors. I am using the Thunderbolt/Displayport ports to drive DP and DVI monitors. I got the cables (Mini DisplayPort to Display Port and Mini DisplayPort to DVI) from here on Amazon from Cable Matters and the cables are well made and work perfectly.

How about thunderbolt to HDMI from macbook pro 13" retina to the Asus? Mine doesn't work :(

I do have it hooked up that way, and I've done it in two different ways. Initially, I did have it hooked up to my laptop, and could use both this screen and the small laptop screen as dual monitors. Last year, I purchased a new Apple iMac, and am able to use the iMac's screen with this screen in a dual monitor set up. You just plug the Thunderbolt connector on the Cinema display to the Thunderbolt port on the iMac, and it works great.

I haven't tried, but to the best of my knowledge that isn't possible with any technology. Even the ultra-high bandwidth ThunderBolt connections used by Apple only allow you drive one screen per port. If you want to run dual screens you need dual ports on your computer.

Oscar is correct. The Thunderbolt port is also the minidisplay port. Just buy an inexpensive minidisplay port to display port adapter from Amazon or Monoprice.

You can connect an HDMI monitor and an Apple Thunderbolt Display to Elgato Thunderbolt Dock, if you Mac is powerful enough to support two displays of that type. Please see this exhaustive article for more details about when you can (and can't) use multiple displays with Elgato Thunderbolt Dock. http://help.elgato.com/customer/portal/articles/1491132-how-many-displays-can-be-used-with-elgato-thunderbolt%E2%84%A2-dock- Note that using a DisplayPort monitor or adapter may limit your options. Whether the displays are mirrored or split will depend on the graphics system and settings of your computer, and not Elgato Thunderbolt Dock. If your computer is powerful enough, then a split configuration will work as expected.

Yes there are two HDMI inputs as well as an RGB. If you have HDMI output on you Macbook, you can go HDMI to HDMI.

You should really have a USB3 hub for this EVGA adapter. I believe you can use both HDMI and DVI simultaneously. One of my co-workers tested it out and it seemed to work fine on his 2012 Macbook Pro. You may also be able to use the thunderbolt port and get a MiniDP->DVI (or hdmi) adapter for a third monitor.
