About Cable Matters Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter
Overall Feedback:
72% positive
81% liked its compatibility with multiple devices, but 19% had trouble with their macbook
It works great for laptop-monitor, laptop-projector, or perhaps laptop to thunderbolt if you have a PC.
The adapter doesn't work with the new Surface Pro 4 docking station, but it works when connected directly to the DisplayPort on my tablet.
The connection is fussy due to the design of my Surface Pro 3.
The adapter is not fully compatible with my Surface Pro 2 tablet due to the chamfered edge, which prevents the connector from fully inserting.

I am not yet aware of the product's durability.
The connection is fussy due to the product design.
The mini display port twists easily and the internal wire disconnects easily, indicating that the product's durability is not up to the mark.
I have faced issues with the adapter while connecting to projectors or large screen TVs. The spinning wheel appears and the whole machine locks up. The only solution is to force shut down.

The adapter fits snugly with my laptop, but both are new.
The mini display port twists easily and the internal wire disconnects, making it difficult to use the product.
For a second monitor, this adapter is fine. However, if you need to connect to every projector, it's not worth the cost. A genuine Apple adapter is recommended.
