Purposefully designed: See more and enjoy flicker-free images on a FHD IPS screen with a narrow bezel, and get comfy while you type with a new lift-hinge that elevates the keyboard. Performance you can trust: Multitasking feels easy and fast with the performance of an AMD processor, powerful graphics, and speedy Wi-Fi technology. Store more of what you love with a lot of storage. Breathe easy: Everyday computing made easy, with a wide array of comfort features like HP Fast Charge and an enlarged click pad. It makes it so all you need to do is you, and not think about anything else.

Display media from your Apple device on an HDTV or other HDMI-compatible screen using this Apple MD826ZM/A Lightning digital A/V adapter, which features video mirroring capability for enjoying content in up to 1080p resolution.
 

Does this allow you to use your iPhone to play HBOGo and mirror it on your tv? I keep seeing conflicting answers. Some people say that’s what they use it for...and others say it doesn’t work with HBOGo.

Depends on your carrier. Apple has an agreement with certain carriers to restrict screen mirroring, especially when it comes to NetFlix and HBOGo. I recommend talking to the Apple specialist in the Best Buy store, that is where I learned about the limitations. Depending upon the phone's model, their is a simple code change in the setup that is required and it will allow the mirroring. The other issue to address is data speed which will affect the picture on the device you are transmitting to, and if you have a weaker signal then you are going to get a low pic quality such as 480p. Take all of these factors into consideration when using your device as a streaming device. Good Luck!!
