This is the professional version of the Mac. It connects to a separate monitor bought independently. It is used for demanding applications like video editing or running many simultaneous programs, perhaps in both Mac and a Windows, which is what I use it for.

This is a computer similar to a desktop box. You would need to buy a monitor keyboard and mouse to use this computer.

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.

Sorry, I didn't try it and currently don't have access to a macbook to test. However I can say this monitor does its job very well and have both VGA and DisplayPort inputs.

Yup, you'll need a mac display to HDMI (or DVI as monitor supports both) adapter.

I only have Macs. So yes to macs. From my experience it's no different then hooking up a second monitor. Pc should also work fine.

As an answer to your question I do not hook up an additional monitor to my iMac. The iMac screen is adequate for me so I wouldn't suggest hooking up in additional monitor unless you having problems thank you.

No, this is an adapter for Mac computers that don't have an HDMI port. They only have a port called Mini Display port and this attaches it to an HDMI port to make it compatible. If you have a PC, search for a USB to HDMI adapter or something of the sort

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.

I don't see where the description says it ships with a monitor. Talks about shipping with Lion or Mountian lion OS. The Mac Mini is designed to use your exsisting monitor, keyboard, mouse. Thats why they are cheaper then an iMac or Mac Pro

I don't have a Mac! So, no idea. I just hooked mine up, no software needed.

It's just for mini-displays to HDMI. So, mainly for Macs and other Apple products.

It depends on what you Mac has for outputs of it has an hdmi you can connect them that way if it just has the digital monitor out you will need a monitor cable and a VGA adapter that goes on the end of the monitor cable and thin plugs into the back of the tv

I have heard that macbooks slow down while doing graphics heavy applications on an external monitor. Something about the built-in graphics card and the external monitor having a different resolution.Has anybody tried playing games on a macbook using this monitor?

You probably need a HDMI to mini-display port, I bought this one for my MacBook when I purchased this monitor as it doesn't come w/ one: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004CAGDUA/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I don't have much experience with Mac products, but i did find this link for you. https://discussions.apple.com/message/22067174?tstart=0 If you get a DVI converter, make sure it supports Dual Link DVI, as it will not work otherwise.
