You cannot directly connect the laptop to your Mac Mini like a traditional monitor with a VGA or HDMI port. Instead, you must configure wireless screen sharing. This feature allows you to remotely control a Mac Mini from your laptop as long as the computers are both on the same network.

You can attach a second monitor to your Mac to increase the viewing area for your computer. The mini displayport included on your computer allows you to export the video from the graphics card to external displays. Your Mac can work with any monitor with a DVI or VGA connection even if the display came from an old PC.
1.Turn off the PC and the monitor. Locate the connection port on the rear of the monitor from your PC. Disconnect the video cable from the monitor. Determine if you have a VGA or DVI port. DVI ports are rectangular in shape and have square-shaped pins. VGA ports have rounded edges and circular pins.
2.Insert the adapter into the 'DisplayPort' on the side of your Mac. The port features a small icon of monitor next to it.
3.Connect the end of the VGA or DVI cable to the port on the DisplayPort adapter. Secure both screws on the side of the cable to lock the connection in place.
4.Connect the other end of the VGA or DVI cable to the connection port on the rear of your monitor. Turn on the monitor and your Mac will automatically recognize the second monitor. Click the 'Display' icon on the Apple toolbar at the top of the screen and click 'Open Display Preferences' to adjust the display settings for the second monitor.
