Im on a MacBook air march 2015 right now. I think this 11inch is a little too small to have a seperate mouse and keyboard. Im looking at a Benq Zowie and the cheapest Samsung curved monitor. Im curious if bent and samsung monitors work on MacBooks. I know LG works with mac because its on the Offical Apple Store. If they are all compatible, what cables do i have to use? I couldn't find a Thunderbolt 2 to HDMI female adaptor. Please help Thanks!!

Any monitor will work with a MacBook, you don't need a special monitor. You can use any Mini DisplayPort cable, such as a Mini DisplayPort to HDMI or DVI cable. These will work in Thunderbolt ports.

How about some of the Anker USB hubs you can find on Amazon? they're pretty decent for the price...

I love Small Form factor ITX rigs.
