What video adapter(s) does the new Mac Mini come with?

[mugs]

Specs say "Mini-DVI and Mini DisplayPort video output (included DVI/VGA adapter)"

My interpretation is that it comes with a Mini-DisplayPort to DVI/VGA, and I'm on my own for Mini-DVD to DVI; is that correct?

hmm, on the tech specs page on apples site, it says it comes with the mini-dvi to dvi adapter only...those arent hard to find considering the old macbooks had mini-dvi. you're basically on your own for anything minidisplayport or vga related, which sucks (damn you apple). however, you can get a mini displayport to hdmi off monoprice (i think they're selling them soon). 🙂

Thank you. Sucks that the guy at the Apple store didn't know that, now I have to return it. 😛

Return the Mini over an adapter? Or return the adapter?

Yeah, the guy at my local Apple Store sadly told me that the new Mini only supported one (1) display at a time, despite the dual interfaces. Someone here pointed out the tech specs on the Mini page:

"Extended desktop and video mirroring: Simultaneously supports up to 1920 by 1200 pixels on a DVI or VGA display; up to 2560 by 1600 pixels on a dual-link DVI display using Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapter (sold separately)"

😛

I need to return the adapter. I bought both, because the Apple guy said it came with neither. Oh well. I don't mind going to the mall, Nathan's has funnel cake. 🙂

How's that new Mini? I just got one too. I absolutely love it! I've got memory and hard drive upgrades coming in the mail soon.
