Air output video
The Air has Thunderbolt ports & Thunderbolt can output video, so can the Air output video on a Thunderbolt port?
Mac mini, OS X Yosemite (10.10.3)

Yes, sure. Its a full fledged thunderbolt port.
Well, that was a quick reply!
COOL! I was hoping that you'd say that.
I have a 15.4 " 2012 MacBook Pro that almost gives me a hernia when it's in a backpack. The backpack weighs about 10 pounds. I want something lighter. I'm leaning towards a 13" MacBook Air. I know that the current MBP with Retina display has an HDMI output.
HINT. I hope that the next version of the MacBook Air has a Retina display.
I wish that there was a manual on the Air that I could download & read how to set it up to output video. I have a 2012 Mac mini hooked up to a 23" widescreen monitor via HDMI cable. I suppose that there is a Thunderbolt to HDMI adapter cable that I can use to hook the Air up to my 23" monitor.

Thunderbolt ports use the Mini Display Port interface for video output.
