500x_200810201137Mini DisplayPort is that monitor connection you get on your Macbook or Macbook pro. It essentially means that your port (where you stick the display in) is much smaller but you also need to buy a connector so that regular displays (with the big connector) can fit, firstly that means buying an external connector that costs about $20 and secondly its another thing to carry around. Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA) has decided to make mDP (mini DisplayPort) a branch of DisplayPort (the usual size) which means that other companies will probably start using them on their new models too, and all you Non-Apple users will have to buy a connector soon as well.
