You can read the entire article on DP .Īpple has updated its MacBook Pro and Mac Mini lineups to make the most of its new M2 Pro and M2 Max chipsets. I will report more once I get all the pieces in place.Īpple announces updated MacBook Pro and Mac Mini models with new high-end M2 chipsets I'm not recommending that everyone do this, because some folks may find it too much hassle compared to a dedicated display, or the performance just a bit short.

So, what's my bottom line? So, I am going to order the Apple Mac mini M2 and use the iMac as the display. Simply hold down the ESC key to exit Luna Display. It's fairly easy to switch the iMac back and forth from secondary display mode to native iMac mode.

You can take full advantage of the iMac's 4K Retina Display, but you have to enable Retina in the Luna Display software settings.I do have a powered multiport connector that would solve the problem. A downside is that I'm now using my Ethernet port for the display, making it not available for other uses.But to be honest, I forgot about that as I became absorbed in my editing. At first I thought the performance was going to bug me, because working in Capture One Pro on the iMac display was a little different than natively on the MacBook Pro.Plus, I can use the mouse for the iMac on both the MacBook and the iMac. I'm using the iMac as a secondary screen, and I still have all the screen real estate of the MacBook Pro.

The configuration options are really nice.

I tried to get USB-C to USB-C to work, but could not. I'm using the Ethernet cable, and the performance is much better.

Do not use the WiFi connection for the two devices.

If using the iMac as a secondary monitor for the MacBook worked, it certainly would suffice with the more powerful M2 Mac mini. I decided to test the feasibility of this approach by purchasing the Luna Display and testing it with my 2020 Intel 13" MacBook Pro. Plus, I would still have the brains of the iMac as a backup computer. This approach would save the iMac from the electronics recycler and save me the $1,600 required for the companion Apple Studio Display. So, I was thinking, what if I invested the $119 in the Astropad Luna Display, purchased a brand new M2 Mac mini, and used my existing iMac as the display? I don't want to ditch the entire computer just because it needs a new processor. But being 2017, its brains are getting a bit laggy with today's software. And it fits perfectly in my studio workstation. I have a 2017 4K iMac with a gorgeous screen. Will Astropad Luna Display Work for Our Photography? Apple Podcasts - Spotify Podcasts - Stitcher
