Apple Mini DVI to VGA Adapter
The quality is not quite good enoungh for the money.

I have owned one of these for about nine months. I would agree that this is a necessary component, but for the price, I would not expect an adapter that can hardly stay secure. Also, the wiring inside has already degraded to the point where if I don't keep it completely straight, my screen is tinted very yellow. These are serious design flaws, because no one wants to be constantly replacing such a small component for this amount of money. I am usually pretty happy with apple, but this necessary component is quickly becoming a bit of a rip-off.

too short? extend with any VGA cable
Written by LN from Rotherham

it works immediately, no hassle.
I use mine with my white macbook and a 26" Bush HD TV. Yes the cable is stupidly short, but using my standard VGA cable i used for my PC monitor I could extend this cable enough to reach round the back of my TV or even across a desk.
However Apple should definately release a longer version.
I'd also say for the size of it, the cost is far too high, reasonable but only because its the only real option. £15 - should be £5-£8 for a tiny adapter.51 of 60 people found this useful

SHOULD HAVE BEEN A CABLE NOT ADAPTER
Written by DC from BOLTON

This adapter really should have been a cable with a male end for the money and least 1.5 metres in length, instead of the small adapter, where you are forced to buy a vga extension cable. In my case I had to purchase a gender changer to convert the vga extension cable to a male end so it would go into the back of the television. The product itself works fine.

Does the job well... until it doesn't anymore

Attaching an external screen / LCD-projector with this adaptor is one of many examples of excellent usability of Macs I have enjoyed. I have used my PowerBook 12" for PowerPoint, DVD etc. presentations on weekly basis.
The adaptor does not last long, however. Oftentimes my PowerBook sits on a podium with a heavy VGA-cable hanging at the other end of the adaptor, causing the thin wires inside the cord to break. I have worn out three (3) of these, now I need to buy two (2) more to make sure I have one working during a public presentation.46 of 94 people found this useful
