Yep!
But you might need an adapter because your MacBook lacks a VGA port.
Susn adaptor can be bought in any Applestore or online at Apple directly.

2 USB Port question

I have a 13" MacBook Pro that appears to have one of the 2 USB ports that is not working. The one that does work will connect easily and power items but the other does not seem to connect. I do get lights on with things like a USB mouse but it does not move the pointer. In most cases, a flashdrive or my USB Seagate back-up drive will not connect through this port.

Thanks in advanced for your help.

Jeff, I don't have the exact answer you're seeking, but I want to mention that my MacBook, bought two weeks after they debuted, has lost its screen, keyboard, and touch pad functions, but still is operable with an external monitor, keyboard, and mouse. I attached speakers and an external drive with all my music and use it at work next to my work computer. So if portability isn't a "must," you might go that direction.
