Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter
You can get 3 main Mini DisplayPort adapters: Mini DisplayPort to VGA adapters, Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapters, and Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapters.

This is especially true if you wish to frequently hook up your own Macbook to a projector to give a presentation. At the same time some new projectors have HDMI or DVI ports, not all of them do, but they all use a VGA port, as VGA port has still been the no.1 most frequently used video port in colleges or business when considering presentation.
Having a Mini DisplayPort to VGA adapter, you will easily output video from your own Macbook or laptop to virtually any display. You’re able to:
* Extend or mirror your favorite workstation to another screen;
* Give presentation to your own classmates, students or colleagues with your Macbook or laptop;
* Share videos your friends on a bigger external screen or TV.
Because the specification is standardized, it’s compatible with all the most up-to-date Macs/Macbooks with Mini DisplayPort. Plus the video output has resolution up to 1080p (FullHD) and 1920 x 1200 without compromise in video quality.
