Hi,
I still regularly use my old Macbook 13" (early 2008) and also use my iMac 2012.
I'd love to be able to use the larger iMac as a monitor with my Macbook and would like to know if it's possible.
Thanks

According to the following:
iMacs you can use |

Mini DisplayPort to Mini DisplayPort |
Mini DisplayPort or Thunderbolt |

Your iMac can only connect to other Macs with a Thunderbolt port.

It looks like I'm stuck with using my old 13" macbook for my photoshop work then.
It was worth a try!
Can I use my iMac 2012 as monitor for Macbook 2008?
