MBA and external monitor

Montymitch · Jun 29, 2014

My wife is looking at getting a 13" MBA for portability, but 13" is just not enough screen for tasks at home. I have a 30" Dell monitor that I want to use with it and with my MBP. Can the 13" MBA drive a display like that? Sorry if this is a stupid question--it's just a lot of pixels compared to the 13".

If you're talking about this 30" Dell monitor, then yes it can. Tech specs show that it can drive that monitor resolution.

Perfect, that is indeed the monitor. Thanks for the help!

I run an 27" Apple Cinema Display (on it currently) with my MBA all the time and it runs perfectly. Never a stutter or issue whatsoever.

I'm using an ancient Apple Cinema Display that I got for my G5 back in 2004. After all these years, it still looks great.
