Imac As Display For Windows Laptop

Replaced a 27 iMac 3.3/32GM/2TB FU with this beast. Do video work mostly and this is does the job much much quicker and cleaner. Processes that employ a single processor seem to run a tad bit slower than on the old machine; however, anything that enjoys/employs multiple CPU usage fly. Always have plenty of processing left for normal mundane chores such as email, internet browsing, eight security cameras, recording 3 channels of HD TV, and watching videos on the 2nd monitor @ 2560x1440 . Packaging and shipment were excellent. The Apples standard box is extremely durable and weighs more than the unit itself; but easy to unpack the iMac Pro and get it set up. Upgraded mac OS to Mojave 10.14.1 and run Windows 10 Update 1803 over Boot Camp. Both work great now, no thanks to Microsoft. For the Boot Camp side, pay close attention to turning off power management within the Windows Device Manager for external USB Hard Drives and Raid Arrays. I also had to uninstall the Video Adapter in Windows Device Manager to circumvent some odd display and performance issues - display appeared to have a burnt graphics chip complete with stripped display, etc... even though there wasnt anything wrong with the hardware. Overall an excellent buy and I am completely satisfied, Now to sell my old configuration - when you do this, the system will automatically restart to reinstall the Video Adapter. Totally recommend B & H - decent price (lower than my local Apple Store) and spot on delivery schedule. Purchased with additional hardware and software - all received on the scheduled delivery date in excellent condition. Excellent job B & H!!!

Switched from Windows laptop. This MacBook has Good performance, good display, good speakers, good battery, good keyboard and track pad, good camera. And on top of that ....clean MacOS. Overall....nailed the basics of a laptop. I went with the base variant 8gb RAM 256gb SSD and being a software engineer myself....it's good enough computing power for me. Tip : If you get too confused with the colors, get the silver one. It looks the best and the most premium of the bunch in real life. And .....no ugly fingerprints too

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] A very useful product. Tested it on my iMac and Windows laptop and it worked without an glitch. Fast download speed of ethernet port. Slick design for travel storage. Feels lightweight but built quality is exceptional. I highly recommend.

Beautiful display, excellent battery life & fast windows laptop. Nice computer.

This stand does exactly what it says. It's nice looking and matches your laptop/Apple Display/iMac. It has rubber on top to protect your laptop and rubber feet on the bottom to keep it from sliding. I would recommend and buy it again.

Got this for my PC, to connect to the imac display and it works.

I bought this to replace an 8+ year old MacPro tower. I need a MacPro vs. an iMac because I process photos I take and I use a calibrated display (you can't calibrate an iMac; you can only create a so-so accurate profile). Once this new machine was set up, I've been happily surprised at the performance. Very fast, particularly the graphics system. Photoshop opens and performs operations quickly (the old machine was starting to bog down despite having 16GB RAM). This machine, with 32GB RAM (I did the upgrade from the stock 12GB), is sufficiently fast for my large digital files (up to 100MB from a medium format camera). I like the speed of Thunderbolt 2. Not as fast as the new TB3, but way faster than my old machine and FireWire 800. The only glitch I ran into was the need to buy a new Display Port to mini-Display Port cable. Once I had done that, I now get full HD resolution at 60Hz on my display. Overall, this machine has been a 5-star upgrade.

This display is beautiful and a good match for my new iMac 24 Retina Display. Thank you, Marco, for suggesting it. It's a little more expensive than what I had in mind but well worth it. Easy set-up and looks terrific as a dual screen.

I switched to a Mac Studio recently after spending the last 10 years editing video on iMac, and this monitor holds up incredibly well. No, it is not a 5K Retina display. However, it is about $1,000 less expensive than an Apple Display, and after using it for two weeks, I'm not noticing any major differences. The color and the resolution are high quality and very suitable for editing 4K video. This monitor also connects directly to the Mac Studio through a USB-C, and it started right up the first time. (I had read reviews that firmware needed to be updated on the monitor to use the USB-C connection, but I didn't not experience this). The 31.5 display is also a nice upgrade over the 27 iMac - that extra bit of real estate is always welcome. It takes up about the same amount of space on my desk as the iMac did. The matte screen is also great. The Retina Displays were too glossy with too many reflections, whereas this monitor minimizes and soften reflections. I'm very happy with this purchase, and if you're looking for a cost-effective alternative to an Apple Display, I would recommend the Dell Ultrasharp 31.5 4K HDR Monitor.

Ordered this for work where I need a seamless display for multiple windows and this is the ticket!
