I have a Mac Pro Tower with 27inch Cinema Display, how long this will last without any power? any other brand/models that will last longer under $500?

That is the issue. If you want really long endurance off the grid you need to consider inverters, charge controllers and deep cycle batteries. All these cost a bit more and occupy more space. I've used this APC unit for 3 years with my database server and it has worked flawlessly. It is big and heavy for a UPS, but it keeps up my sever for about 2 hours when new. Monitor is off and the other equipment is run from a separate UPS.

The Mac Mini only has two SO-DIMM slots and one Thunderbolt port; this one has four and two, respectively. The non-server Mini sports a dual-core i5 (or i7); this has a quad core i5 at higher clock. If you go for the Apple brand, the 27" external monitor costs over nine hundred dollars... (and the keyboard and pointing device aren't included with the Mini). Finally, you may be able to use this computer as a 27" monitor (the old ones did)... the iMac is clearly a better deal.An i7 MacBook Air plus Thunderbolt Display, on the other hand, is a compelling setup...

I have not used this lamp yet, still in box. The original lamp that came with my EPSON projector, Cinema pro 1080 only lasted 1150 hours. Very happy with EPSON service, outstanding, but would like to see LED based replacement lamps. Longer life, lower power useage and less heat generated.

This only has composite in and r/w audio. So depending on what outs your MacBook has you'd probably need a hdmi or vga out to composite video and possibly a headphone to R/W audio splitter. At radio shack your probably looking at spending 20-40$ depending on lengths for those adapters. You'd really be better off spending that extra money on a projector that's a real projector. This is a child's toy with a life span of likely &lt; 3 months. Mine lasted about 5 minutes.

It sounds like you can use this projector with mac computers. Is that correct? Do I need any other equipment or cables?Thank you.

My power supply worked out of the box and is still running on 1/2 load powering a Mac computer. This unit is so reasonably priced that if you are having problems with it, I would suggest just ordering another one.

Hi, I use it for meetings of up to 100 people in a small fellowship hall for Sunday School classes. It works very well. It has an hdmi port and I think your MacBook Pro should have one. If not a mini display port to hdmi adaptar will work.

My logic board went out - apparently there was a recall on 2007 apple laptops, so they replaced it completely. It was failing every time I tried to use it with a projector. The repair was free. I also had to replace the optical drive, which I had to pay for. It has been working fine since those repairs.

I'm getting about 3hrs of continuous movie play at full brightness on mine. I didn't get a "service battery" alert although the old and tired original one did. Make sure you "calibrate" the system for the battery. Do a search for macbook battery calibration

I have had this card in my mac pro 2008 (OS 10.9) for about six months and have had no issues. It is only used maybe a few times a week and drive usually is left on for at least 6 hours.

Yes, I have ours fed into two Sharp 70" led panels and the HDMI audio feed works through both panels with no issues at all. The room has its own audio so we don't run the sound on the panels, but the option is there and works. Did you get all the way into the sound settings on your mini? I'm not a Mac whiz, so I don't know exactly which steps you take, but there was more than one until we saw the HDMI choice. Actually the Mac is a dual boot to win7pro and it works on that operating system too. I can't stress how happy I was when I got my hands on the accell adapters, passive adapters just plain screwed me around in circles!

Hey a big Maxe battery and some other options also available that last around 3 to 4 hours, but take a good long time to charge too. Also try the Atomos Recorder which works as a monitor cum external recorder if you have the budgets. Great combination with a 5D Mark III with the full HDMI out.

Margaret, I'm sorry, but I don't think that will work. This Mac mini needs a display to work properly. Great luck!

Just pulled the trigger on this MBP. Bad news is that this model MAY have a faulty video card. Not all of them, but some. Good news is Apple recognizes this and gives a two warranty from purchase date for this problem if your display hangs, distorts, or goes out. Just go to the apple site.

LCD displays don't use much battery. Things should be fine for a couple of years. If you're really worried, just remove the battery when not in use, but I don't think it will gain you much.

I think you may have confused this with a MacBook Pro. This is just a big powerful tower without monitor.

Push Command & F2(pending on year of iMac),pending year,you may also need to hit your Function (fn) button as well. Also try going into "system Preferences" go to "Display" & use the "Target Display" options. Most (if not a large percent) of Mini Display will work with the thunderbolt.They're also "Thunderbolt to HDMI adapters you can use.I use one when need be to hook up my iMac or MacBook Pro to a TV. They are inexpensive $7.00-$10.00.The Mini display or regular Display cables will get you better graphics FYI, than an HDMI or VGA.
