i am planing on getting a macbook this summer and every once in a wile i like to hook my computer up to my families big screen tv. there is a mini-dvi adapter for s-video and composite

http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APP...re.woa/wo/15.RSLID?mco=75A42EE8&nplm=M9319G/A

but i dont know if it works on the macbook, because it says
"The Apple Mini-DVI to Video Adapter is designed for use with the iMac (Intel Core Duo) and 12-inch PowerBook G4."

would this work on the macbook?:confused:
 
It should work, I think Apple just hasn't updated that page yet to include the MacBook 'cause they mention the Mini-DVI video adapter more than once in the MacBook specs page. I bought one with my MacBook, but I haven't tested it yet.
 
Considering the MacBook page links to Apple mini-DVI to Video Adapter M9319G/A -- and so do you.
 
k thanks, i just wasnt quite sure. i cant wait to see os x on the big screen:eek: .
 
keep in mind though, the resolution will either be 1260x720, 1360x768, 1366x768, or 1920x1080 so depending on the size of the TV it may not be suitable for everyday operations.
