Q: I have a mid-2010 MacBook Pro 13" model. Is there any way I can get Airplay Mirroring on my Apple TV?

Kind of frustrating to find out after I upgraded to Mountain Lion that the mirroring effect for my Apple TV is not supported by my Macbook model. Is there any sort of add-on that can support mirroring. Biggest reason I upgraded to Mountain Lion was the mirroring effect.

MacBook Pro, w/ Apple TV

The requirements were stated and it's due to tech in the newer chips, used for video encoding.

The only alternative is Airparrot, which does it in software and relies solely on the CPU. It has mixed reviews so I would recommend using the demo first.
