THUNDERBOLT DOCK FOR MAC MINI 2011 UPDATE
If we’re on a yearly update cadence now like I think we are, just imagine what the future of Apple monitors holds over the next 10 years. The dock features three Thunderbolt 4 ports, with one of them providing up to 98W of pass-through charging to compatible Macs, including the latest 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro. Thunderbolt Display also has the same 2560 × 1440 resolution as last year’s 27-inch Cinema Display. CalDigit today introduced its new Thunderbolt Station 4 dock with 18 ports, which it claims is the most on any Thunderbolt dock ever. At this rate, we could see 32-inch Apple displays before the end of the decade. It’s only been a year since Apple upgraded the LED Cinema Display from 24 inches to 27 inches. So if the Thunderbolt Display is so great, then why wait instead of buy now? There’s always a better Apple monitor just around the corner. Perhaps we’ll see Apple make standalone docking stations for Macs in the future.
Think about that: the ability to turn a single port into any connection type. This is because each Thunderbolt device can demultiplex only one DisplayPort signal from the Thunderbolt signal. You just have to daisy chain two Thunderbolt docks together, where at least one of the docks has an HDMI out.

I can’t wait to see what Apple does with this technology when more Macs have Thunderbolt ports. There is a way to connect two non-Thunderbolt monitors to a Macbook Pro (Early 2011). This is great for turning the new MacBook Air and MacBook Pro into futuristic iMacs.

The new display itself doubles as what Apple calls “the ultimate docking station for Mac notebooks.” That’s because a single Thunderbolt connection becomes not one but three USB 2.0 ports along with Thunderbolt, FireWire 800, and Gigabit Ethernet. Apple has been able to go from one cable with three connectors (Mini DisplayPort, 85W MagSafe, USB 2.0) to a single cable with two connectors (Thunderbolt and MagSafe).Īt the current rate, ports and connectors will continue to change every few years while MagSafe is the only constant in our lives. The I/O is definitely an interesting direction.
Apple makes the best monitors for Macs, but I’ll let someone else be the guinea pig to find all the bugs with Light Peak. Why I’m waiting for the Thunderbolt Display 2 “There’s always a better Apple monitor just around the corner.” July 20, 2011Īpple just revealed that it will soon sell the first-ever Thunderbolt Display, but I’m holding out for the next version. I never had the opportunity to actually review Apple’s last consumer display, but based on what we knew then, this is the review I could have written at the time (followed by some classic video reviews): It was the first display to use the new Thunderbolt connection and the last Apple monitor to ship for less than $4,999.īut $999 might as well be $5,000 when you’re a freshman in college. Apple unveiled the all-new Thunderbolt Display, a 27-inch standalone monitor priced at $999, 10 years ago this week.
