It depends on which model you have. Check with everymac.com to find specs about your video card and if it can handle duel or mirroring. The lower end macbooks use shared RAM as VRAM... I don't believe those can handle powering an external LCD, but check that site it should have info.

I am trying to use it with a Mac Pro. I can make it work but there are issues. The mac won't recognize it at startup. I have to unhook it and reconnect after startup. It works fine then, if I just put the mac to sleep its fine at wake up.

Sure you can use this monitor with your macbook laptop. This is exactly what i have been doing for the past year with no problems whatsoever. I am also using an external keyboard and mouse.

I couldn't get it to work, period, and sent it back for a refund. Hope yours works better than mine did (I was trying to use it with a MacBook Pro) and that someone will be able to advise you.

Sorry. Don't have a Mac. However, From what I have read and experiencing the ease of installing, I wouldn't be surprised if it didn't work well with a Mac.

Honestly can't answer for a MAC. This has worked on PC and Linux machines both for me. I would suspect it could work on a MAC too, but I haven't broken down a MAC to try anything like this.

I use mine with my windows computer. I have found that apple products can need other software or may not work? Sorry!

Yes it worked with my sons' laptop, but you needed a speaker connection cable to get sound. It did not work with my Mac as suggested.

I have a Mac, but not a PC. Works great with the Mac. Actually, just ordered another for my college-age daughter who used mine (her Mac) and now wants one for research with Evernote (?).

It does not work with my Macbook. Though it connects to my Sony Windows based computer with no issues.

Does it connect via Bluetooth? How about direct connection with a cable? I'm not a Mac user. Good luck.

I couldn't get mine to work with my MacBook Pro either. I just gave up. Too late and too much hassle to send it back. Tom in Florida

Hi there, This item is only compatible with a Sony PS3, it will not work with a MacBook. Thank you!

Sorry but I do not know if it is compatible with Mac, but I sure like them. I have 2. But, I do have a co-worker that uses a Mac. He will be in later today & I'll get him to try it out and let you know how it goes.

Yes, I've been using it with my MacBook Pro. However, I did not use the software (disk) that came with it. (Small disc. Not compatible with Mac.) I use a program called Audacity, that I downloaded from the internet.

No it DOES NOT work with Mac! Nor does it work with windows installed on Mac. I purchased it and wanted to return because of incompatibility with Mac but the seller wouldn't take it back. Be careful before you buy.

Yes, this will work fine with your MacBook. It's compatible with any laptop with a 120v power plug -- which basically means "any laptop that can plug into a normal wall socket".
