That puts it alongside some of the best Intel and AMD laptop chips, but at considerably lower power consumption. The new M2 Pro chip offers decent performance gains on the already very fast M1 Pro chips, with up to 14% improvement in CPU speed and up to 22% faster graphics in tests. The laptop has three Thunderbolt 4/USB 4 ports, HDMI 2.1 and headphone ports, SD card reader and a MagSafe power cable. Screen: 14.2in mini LED (3024x1964 254 ppi) ProMotion (120Hz)Ĭonnectivity: wifi 6E, Bluetooth 5.3, 3x USB 4/Thunderbolt 4, HDMI 2.1, SD card, headphones You can use an iPhone as a wireless webcam, which works really well but is less necessary because the FaceTime HD camera on the MacBook Pro is pretty good already. It generally runs similarly to previous versions and not too different to Windows, but has useful screen-sharing and proximity features, allowing you to use a recent iPad as a second screen or control it remotely. It runs macOS 13.2 Ventura like all recent Macs, including its desktop stablemate, the Mac mini. This leads me to believe that there is something within the software 'inhibiting' the use of this cable.The keyboard and huge trackpad are best in class, while the power button in the top right doubles as a Touch ID sensor for logging in.

I find this very strange, as the product specifications of the Thunderbolt-HDMI cable implied it would easily work for my Macbook Air. Many of the forums I have read say there should be an 'Arrangement' tab, but this is not appearing on mine.

However, when looking in System Preferences/ Displays, there is no trace of any external screen. When connected to the TV via the Thunderbolt-HDMI cable, a blue screen briefly appears on the Macbook. I tested to see if it was the cable which is the problem by connecting it the Thunderbolt port of a laptop supporting Windows 7 and it worked PERFECTLY on my Samsung television.

I have scrolled and read through a VAST amount of forums and so-called 'help pages' on the internet but can't find anything that works for me, however there do seem to be many people with the same or similar problems. I have spent all day trying to get my Macbook Air (OS X 10.8.4) to display on various televisions via a Thunderbolt-HDMI cable, however I am yet to suceed.
