Sorry newbie question here, would a non apple monitor work with the Macbook pro 13?

Any recommendations? Thanks
 
Hi friends, does this adapter come with the Macbook pro?

You just need a mini-Display port to VGA adapter, or mini-display port to DVI adapter, which run about $30 from Apple.

If you're asking, I assume you don't need the $1000 color accurate LCD's, so just about any monitor will do. I got a westinghouse from Best Buy a few years ago for $120 that works just dandy.

No, you have to buy it from Apple or monoprice.com

Wow, do new Apple computers come with anything anymore?? Seems like just yesterday a new MacBook Pro came with both the Apple Remote and a DVI to VGA adapter. Its probably only a matter of time before we start having to buy the power supply separately.

Only Mac Minis come with a Mini-DVI to DVI-D adapter. Next, we will have to pay for Apple Stickers!
