Hello John, I’m not sure if this is still applicable, Daniel, Peter H or others will be able to confirm. I prefer to use a separate monitor.
It’s a Yes and No situation. /Begin Quote: “The vast majority of Windows laptops have a graphics OUT port, but no graphics in port, so you can't just connect up your Mac Mini to the graphics port on the back of your laptop. However, you can run remote control software on your Mac that displays your Mac output on the screen of another computer (and, for that matter, allows the remote computers keyboard and mouse to be used.) The fact that the remote computer could use its keyboard and mouse doesn't stop the devices actually plugged into your Mac Mini from working, so you could quite happily control the Mac with its own devices, but let the screen display over the network onto your Windows laptop. There are some caveats, the solution I'm describing works well for office applications, and stuff where the screen doesn't update that quickly. Don't even consider using it for games - you need a direct connection from the Mac Mini to a real monitor for those.” /End Quote: Kind Regards, Ronni Ronni Brown’s iPad Pro 12.9-inch 256GB > On 6 Feb 2019, at 9:55 am, John Thompson <jetj...@optusnet.com.au> wrote: > > Just a quick question to the group. > > Is it possible to use a laptop, any laptop not just Apple, as a monitor for a > MacMini? > > Regards > > John Thompson > > > -- The WA Macintosh User Group Mailing List -- > Archives - <http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/archives.shtml> > Guidelines - <http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/guidelines.shtml> > Settings & Unsubscribe - > <http://lists.wamug.org.au/listinfo/wamug.org.au-wamug> -- The WA Macintosh User Group Mailing List -- Archives - <http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/archives.shtml> Guidelines - <http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/guidelines.shtml> Settings & Unsubscribe - <http://lists.wamug.org.au/listinfo/wamug.org.au-wamug>
