PLEASE NOTE :: " Mini DVI " is NOT the same as " Mini DisplayPort " !!! :::: Its is extremely common for folks to buy the wrong adapter and need to return or exchange despite the *** warnings *** in the product info above (I guess folks read reviews more than product info) ... so please read the following info and also the product info as it may help !!!
As it says in the product description ::: This "Mini DisplayPort" adapter is used to " Connect new generation Apple MacBook, MacBook Pro and MacBook Air with Mini Displayport " . This is for newer generation Macs from late 2008 onwards such as the UNIBODY MacBook and MacBook Pro and AIR ... also the newer iMacs.
Most slightly older Macs (Including MacBook, MacBook Pro and Air ... UP TO late 2008) have a different, slightly bigger but similar looking port called " Mini DVI " and this is NOT the same as " Mini DisplayPort " ... and will not fit.
You can see a close up picture of the actual ports and adapter connection in the 'other' images at the top of the product listing :::: If you have an older Mac and require the Neet " Mini DVI to DVI adapter " it can be found here ::
Neet® - Mini DVI to DVI adapter cable (Apple Mini DVI to full size DVI-D)There are also a couple of other, less common adapters that Apple used briefly... one is called "Mini VGA" (found on older Macs) and another is called " Micro DVI " (found on the MacBook Air for one year only) ... these are far less common but still get confused. ( Even Apple can give the wrong advise (eg: telling customers that Mini VGA is Mini DVI but an older version so folks go looking for an older Mini DVI which does not exist ))
The bottom line is to be sure and check your port before buying ... and if in any doubt, please contact Neet Cables via ' contact seller ' on Amazon.
This Neet Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter is plug & play, works very well and will be dispatched quickly with fast and friendly email customer support from Neet if needed ... but please check that you are buying the correct adapter first !
( Please kindly note ::: I work on customer support at Neet Cables and AMAZON suggested that this information be left as a 'review' due to excessive returns / exchanges as a result of folks buying the wrong adapter ... folks clearly read reviews more than the product info (which is very limited in characters anyway) so hopefully this will help save a lot of time and wasted postage costs for us all ! ... If you think it is helpful , please mark it as ' helpful ' so it stays at the top and will be seen... many thanks :)
