Hello...
I'm seriously considering buying a MTi2 but wanted to make sure my system can handle it?
My specs:
MacBook Pro (17-inch, Early 2011) Model ID 8,3
2.3 GHz Intel Core i7
16 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
AMD Radeon HD 6750M 1024 MB
One Thunderbolt (1st Gen) Port
3 USB 2.0 Ports
Ethernet and FW 800 ports
ExpressCard 3/4 port
What I'd like to do is use an MTi2 as my main display monitor while simultaneously still using my current LG 32" HDMI LCD TV as a secondary display monitor (non-mirrored) for extra screen space. Ideally I'd like to be able to view one arrangement window and one mixer window (in LPX) at the same time and then swap the windows back and forth between the two display monitors as needed. At any rate, can I buy a Thunderbolt dock (like say an Elgato Thunderbolt 2 Dock or similar) and make this screen arrangement work? I realize my MBP only has the 1st Gen Thunderbolt port but is this screen arrangement doable? Also I could run my MBP in closed clamshell mode if needed to free up some GPU.
Thanks for your help!
Regards...
Todd
