If the MacBook Air has either Displayport, or Thunderbolt, or USB-c you probably can.


The D6000 has:


  • Connect to Three 4K Displays at Once
  • 4 x USB 3.0/3.1 Gen 1 Ports
  • 1 x USB Type-C Port
  • 2 x DisplayPort Video Ports


Displayport is generally a step down from USB-C and USB 3.1.


If your MacBook Air only has USB-3 or lower, the D6000 probably won't do you any good.


Go to Apple menu -> About This Mac -> System Information to find out the kind of USB you have on your system. IF you gave us the year and time of year your Air was produced, we can tell you what it can and can't do.
