Macbook Pro with Apple Cinema Display

[MarkW19]

My 2.2ghz MBP arrives tomorrow, and I'm thinking of getting a 23" ACD to use with it at home.

Will the MBP support the full resolution of the ACD? And if so, how will things like DVDs, intensive 3D games, and full-screen movie editing perform? Will there be any slow-down or anything by using the ACD, when compared with the MBPs built in screen?

I have a 22.1in external monitor hooked up to my MBP and it runs great. I use both screens at once so I can drag windows back and forth. Resolution is great, running it at 1680 x 1050. No slow-downs or anything of that nature.

You shouldn't have any problems with the 23in ACD.

My 23" Cinema Display works well with my 2.0 Core Duo MBP (256MB X1600) playing GTR2 and GT Legends in full 1920x1200. It's a great combination.

Excellent, good to hear! My graphics card will only have 128mb, buy it's the newer Nvidia card, so it should perform well shouldn't it?

I'll also need to plug a base Macbook in sometimes, how will that perform for just general stuff and DVDs on the ACD (no games or editing)?

I have a 128mb nvida in a 1.67ghz rev D PB and it drives a 30" with no problems.

30" Acd

We use th MBP (17" C2D , 2.33GHz, 3GB RAM) with a 30" Apple Cinima Display at it works 100%. On the desk in the stucio (where we are not storing & editing photographs), we basically use this as a desktop replacement, that we can just unplug and take into the field.
