The difference WITH THE SOFTWARE PROGRAM required to fully utilize it is absolutely amazing in performance! Hey, its only $18 and the absolute best money I have ever spent, PERIOD! Try it for yourself and compare the 1 resistor dongle which you can build from Radio Shack parts for close to the same dollars to this dongle and you too will be amazed if it works in your system as it does in mine! With this adapter, the system response using screen sharing is absolutely amazing in terms of display resolution, response to simple mouse movement and overall performance! Frankly, what I am getting using this dongle is the absolute same as having a direct monitor, keyboard and mouse connected although only screen shared to a near vintage MacBook Pro 17 inch laptop 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Core screen sharing from a Mid 2010 Mac-Mini 8GB ram used as a Music Server system! Both not the speediest Apple makes.

For the record, I only bought it to prevent future issues with my wife using my system when I am gone.įolks, I have absolutely no idea of what anyone has to complain about! For the time being though I am quite pleased with the results.

After all HDMI isn't worth a hill of beans on a rack mounted mini while the Thunderbolt port is quite useful. NewerTech would be wise to put out a HDMI version as can be found on the interweb. I'm eyeing a Thunderbolt to USB 3.0/eSATA adapter that has no pass through, so if I were to get one of those to cure the lack of 3.0 and add eSATA on this box, I could no longer use the accelerator. That said, it is a downer with the 2011 box since it uses the Thunderbolt port. Getting a pair of these sure fixed that problem up.

I access them via ARD and I was always wondering why the old G4 Xserves they replaced had better video over remote desktop than they did.
