Q: Mac Book Air Late 2010 and Air Play Mirroring

Just bought Apple TV and I'm eager to use mirroring to run TV program that I presently run on my Mac Book Air.  Will I be able to do this, or must I upgrade (ouh) or replace (ugh!) my Macbook Air?

MacBook Air (13-inch Late 2010), OS X Mavericks (10.9.4)

    Hello gbarnesvt,

     

    Sorry ot break it to you, but you would not be able to use AirPlay Mirroring because the hardware on your MacBook Air does not support it. Check out the page below for more information.

    A supported Mac

    AirPlay Mirroring in OS X takes advantage of the hardware capabilities of recent Macs to deliver high frame rates while maintaining optimal system performance. The following Mac models support AirPlay Mirroring when using OS X Mountain Lion or later:

    1. 1 iMac (Mid 2011 or newer)
    2. 2 Mac mini (Mid 2011 or newer)
    3. 3 MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer)
    4. 4 MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or newer)
    5. 5 Mac Pro (Late 2013 or newer)

     

    Regards,
