This is the accessory you need if you plan to use your MacBook for presenting. The industry standard connection for projectors is VGA, so this is the adapter you need. Very few companies or organizations provide a DVI (digital) hookup, so this VGA adapter will get you hooked up 90% of the time. Even though the image is converted from digital (Mini-DVI) to analog (VGA), the image looks great on a large plasma/LCD/screen. Too bad Apple no longer includes this adapter with their MacBooks, but the price isn't bad and you'll get a lot of use out of it.
What's great about it: Crystal clear output, it just works.
