So I've begun the long-awaiting switch from PC to Mac in the office and picked up a new Mac Mini yesterday.
We currently use dual screen on all machines in the office.
I'm wanting to hook these up to the mac mini and use dual screen.
The mac mini has thunderbolt and hdmi output.
I've done some research and what it looks like I would need is a:-
DisplayPort Thunderbolt to HDMI / DVI / VGA Adaptor (like the one pictured below):-
Yet, as I was about to purchase one of these adaptors, I noticed that the description said that only one of these outputs can be used at once (so I wouldn't be able to have one monitor plugged into the DVI and the other plugged into the VGA as per the above photo).
Is this right? If so, what is the recommended setup to have a working dual screen setup with the mac mini? Would I need to get two of these adaptors and plug one each into the two Thunderbolt ports that my mac mini has? Seems a bit overkill if you can't utilise more than one port on an adaptor at once.
Your advice or recommendations greatly appreciated.
