Using MacBook Pro (2012) as second screen for Mac Mini (2018) Hi guys, I was wondering if this was possible; I'd like to use my MacBook Pro (mid 2012) as a second screen for my Mac Mini (2018)? I know it's fairly easy to send information OUT of the MacBook Pro (it's easy enough from the thunderbolt socket) but is it possible to do it the other way around? My Mac Mini is the main computer here, so that's why I'm looking to do it that way round. Cheers, James

If you have a 2009 or 2010 27" iMac it can be used as a display with a Mini DisplayPort connection.

No. Target Display Mode was never official supported non-Apple devices.

Target Display Mode has now been completely deprecated by Apple and there is not longer official support available.
