But it's only got a thunderbolt and hdmi out.
Both of which can be adapted to other connections (DVI, VGA, etc). The HDMI can only output up to 1080, FWIW. The thunderbolt port can handle higher resolutions, like the Apple display that you mentioned.
Correct. Although i did not know about the hdmi limitation. But it makes sense. Why would it go higher than that? On that same note, where can you get hdmi to dvi or hdmi to vga adapters? My usual search at monoprice turned up nada. And Apple wants 30 or 40 bucks for the ones on their site.
Actually, the HDMI does slightly better than 1080 res, but only on the vertical resolution: 1920-by-1200 max.
And as far as adapters go, this is the one I currently use on my mini to drive a DVI monitor:

It's a cable rather than just an adapter, but I'd be surprised if a hdmi to DVI adapter didn't exist (I could be wrong, though).
