Questions about Acer PM161QB

Yes, you can connect the Acer PM161QB portable monitor to an Apple MacBook. Here are the key points to consider: - The monitor has two USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-C ports, which can be used for both data and power transfer. If your MacBook has a USB-C port, you can use a USB-C to USB-C cable to connect the two devices. - If your MacBook only has older USB ports, you can use the included USB Type-C to Micro USB cable along with a USB adapter, but this might not support the full range of features and power delivery. - The monitor also has a Mini HDMI port, so you can use an HDMI to Mini HDMI cable if your MacBook has an HDMI output or if you use an adapter for the MacBook's USB-C port. Ensure that your MacBook's USB-C port supports DisplayPort Alternate Mode (DP Alt Mode) for the USB-C connection to work properly.

This allows the display to be connected to a USB-C DP Alt mode compatible laptop. You can share the screen, transfer data and supply power to the display, all via a single cable. You can also connect your smartphone or tablet via the remaining USB port. So USB is multifunctional on this device.
