Reader-see comments-says this model isn’t working with a 2011 MacBook Pro, in fact. [Update: Note that neither Apple nor TidBITS is recommending the Matrox specifically. For more on those, see “ Put More Pixels on Your Desktop with ViBook+” (13 November 2009).

This became more confusing in part because Apple’s Australian product page for the new MacBook Pros had a footnote (number 4) that read, “The 15- and 17-inch MacBook Pro support two displays the 13-inch MacBook Pro supports one display.” This footnote was oddly referenced out of sequence under the “Ports with possibility” heading near the bottom of the page. That allows for just one external monitor. However, the MacBook Pro (the expression of those genes) contains graphics circuitry that is already supporting one display: the internal screen. ![]() The Thunderbolt spec (its genes) says that the standard may support up to two monitors along the chain. ![]() The MacBook Pro models are the phenotype. Where does this confusion arise? It’s the difference between genotype and phenotype. (I also wrote this in “ Secrets of Thunderbolt and Lion,” 27 February 2011, but I sought more clarification after particular questions kept arising.)
