Can I use my late 2015 iMac 27" As an external Monitor for Macbook pro 2021?
Hi guys, I'm looking at buying the latest macbook pro 2021 and am wondering if I could use my 27" iMac (late 2015) as an external monitor with it? Some sites state that I cannot. I'm not sure why I wouldn't be able too as it has a Thunderbolt port. Cheers!- Riffbear
