- Thread-topic: [Fed-Talk] is Apple nuts
For those who might not have closely followed the recent hardware
announcements, its worth noting that the new Thunderbolt display acts as a
docking station for macs with Thunderbolt ports. All you connect is the
power cord and the Thunderbolt cord to the computer and it gives you the USB
ports, Firewire 800 ports, Ethernet port, and daisychained Thunderbolt port
on the back of the display. This is pretty handy for computers with limited
built-in ports like the new MacBook Air. It also gives the new MacBook Air
access to Firewire peripherals for the first time ever.
