[QUOTE="pm-r, post: 1644592, member: 175845"] It depends on your actual late 2009 iMac model and you might just make it, but have a look and read here, and it's referred to as [B]Target Display Mode[/B]: [url]https://support.apple.com/en-ca/HT3924[/url] But even if you can, that would make that iMac a pretty expensive display if it was to only be used as such, and be aware that you don't end up with a new mini that may end up having less capabilities that your existing iMac. Have you considered an even cheaper route and increase the iMac's RAM memory and/or add a SSD?? Might be worth considering. ;) [/QUOTE]
