And let me guess - comes with Mini DisplayPort. And no new Displays yet (or adaptors).

The new Mini DisplayPort adapters are insanely expensive. Since I need one for my external monitor as well as presenting on a projector, I dropped a total of $60 on the DVI and VGA adapters. Even worse for those who have to power their 30" screens with $100 adapters. :/

  At the office we have some new MBPs and old ADC Cinema Displays, so you need a $30 DisplayPort to DVI cable and a $100 DVI to ADC converter. What a pain.

Apple's 24" cinema display supports Mini DisplayPort and they have already released a Mini DisplayPort-to-DVI/VGA adapter. http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB382?mco=Mjc5MTU3OQ http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB382?mco=Mjc5MTU3OQ http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB570?mco=MTkzODk0NQ http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB570?mco=MTkzODk0NQ http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB572?mco=MTkzODk0Nw http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB572?mco=MTkzODk0Nw

  I have a last gen Macbook Pro. So what I really need is a DVI to Mini DisplayPort.

    Why do you need DVI-to-Mini DisplayPort?
    - jonknee 18y ago
      To plug his last-gen (not current) laptop into the new screen. They only put DisplayPort on the new display which is ridiculous. It's literally only compatible with the new MacBook/Pro. You can get an adapter one way (DisplayPort -> DVI) but not the other (DVI -> DisplayPort). The display is about 3x overpriced anyway, it's not like it will be a hot seller.

        So, what's the big deal? Get a display that works with your MacBook. If everything you own needs to be from Apple then get the discontinued 23". I don't think the price is unreasonable for a 24" LED-backlit display. What are some cheaper models with the same specs?

        I was just noting why you would need the DVI-to-Mini DisplayPort connector. I don't have the newest MacBook or that display, but there was confusion as to why that adapter would come in handy. I am not interested in the display, I'm happy with my Dell 24".
