Hi guys,

has anyone attempted to hook the brand new MBP Unibody to a projector?

I saw many problems to hook it to an external monitor via VGA or DVI adapter... has anyone attempted it? Is it possible?

I have a presentation by the end of the month and I need to know if I can do it on my Mac with Keynote or have to go with the craptastic Power Point.

    Yes it's possible. We have tried it on a MacBook and a MB Pro. I guess it depends on the projector but we tried it on 2 different InFocus and a huge NEC projector.

    You could export your presentation from KN as a quicktime movie and it will act just as a regular presentation. You just need to check that the PC has Quicktime for Windows installed.

    That would be nice but I choosed to use the MBP so I can use the Apple Remote along with it as Keynote remote controller, it works pretty well and I didn't had to buy an expensive wi-fi remote.

    Let's see, i will try with the VGA adapter.
