Not unless you buy something like this, but unless your MBP has an ExpressCard slot, you can't use it.

Hold on, if you have the newest MBP, only the 17" has an ExpressCard slot. I think the earlier 15" aluminum MBPs had the ExpressCard slot though, so double-check yours.

Universal praise seems to be the norm for the Dell 2209WA. Of course it does depend on what you want out of a monitor though. Here are some links for this one.
