  • New Apple Display with Thunderbolt

    Apple’s Display offering got a little sweeter today as well.

    As a replacement for the former Apple LED Display, the new 27-inch Apple Display includes Thunderbolt technology, which is quickly becoming an industry-leading connection standard. The Display still boasts the same 16:9 aspect ratio, glossy screen and 2560 x 1440 resolution.

    Thunderbolt technology lets you move data between your devices and your computer at roughly 10-Gbps throughput (both ways). As a data transfer connection, it is “up to 20 times faster than USB 2.0 and up to 12 times faster than FireWire 800.” A user can now run two displays off of a single Thunderbolt port.

    Touted as “The ultimate docking station,” the Thunderbolt Display also includes high-quality audio, a FaceTime HD camera, three powered USB ports, FireWire 800 and Gigabit Ethernet ports in addition to the Thunderbolt port that allows for daisy-chaining peripherals (such as hard drives and video capture devices).

    Bonus: the Thunderbolt Display uses a MagSafe connector that will power and charge your MacBook Pro or MacBook Air, so there’s no need to use their power cords.

    The Thunderbolt Display perfectly complements the new Mac mini and MacBook Air models as well as the current line of iMacs and MacBook Pros.

    * Apple Thunderbolt Display $999.99*

    (By the way, anybody counting how many times “Thunderbolt” appears in this article? Good.)
