Hello,
Just purchased the newest version of a Macbook Air and now looking for some tips on how to dock it. (If this post is in the wrong location, I apologize.)
I want to be able to do a few things:
1. Dock the MacBook so I can use my keyboard mouse and video. I don't want to have to unplug these things from my pc every time I want to connect them to the laptop. Ideally some kind of KVM switch should take care of this, but not sure which one to use.
2. I also want to be able to have two External Displays for the macbook. I have two 28" HDMI monitors that are currently connected to my PC. I know the macbook air only has one thunderbolt port. I have seen thunderbolt to HDMI adapters, but I think I would need some type of thunderbolt to dual HDMI splitter to accomplish what I am looking for.
If both of these could be accomplished with one KVM switch and one adapter, that would be awesome. This is my first mac though and I was hoping someone experienced has already done this. I tried to do some research on this site and saw this article which I thought was close to what I want, but read comments underneath of people who were destroying it. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
