All,

I am making a work purchase and want to buy a MacBook fully loaded. However coming from a PowerBook 12in I was wondering does the MacBook (non-pro) allow for monitor spanning? I really find this a usefull feature on my PB if it doesn't I may have to step up to the bigger 15.4.

Thanks for the assistance.

this is a great link I just found. Seem that AAPL likes to call this EDM - Extended Desktop Mode

It IS available on the MB. Pretty sweet as I didn't want the extra jump to 15.4 in MBP

Thanks,

Turano

Yep. It does spanning and mirroring (same thing on both screens). However, you'll have to have the proper adapter to go from the MacBook's mini-DVI port to the appropriate video output for your monitor (DVI or VGA). The adapters run about $19, and you can get them from the Apple store.
