Mini DVI to Mini DisplayPort
I’m really thinking about getting the new 24″ LED Cinema Display from Apple. Comparable devices from Dell, for example, are a bit cheaper but I really like the idea of connecting my MacBook with the display and getting a MagSafe and USB connection, too. The only question I have is: Is there a Mini DVI to Mini DisplayPort adapter available from Apple? If not, do I need to get a new MacBook to use the new display? Sounds bizarre.
This situation seems really strange. Apple released a few adapters to connect the new MacBook (Mini DisplayPort) to older displays (Mini-DVI) but not the other way round. At the moment it looks like the only way to use that new LED Cinema Display is to buy a new MacBook.
