Apple's New Display Isn't Friends With the Mac Pro
Penned on .
AnandTech just posted a review of Apple’s new Thunderbolt display. All in all it sounds like a great deal for Apple laptop owners. But then there’s this:
That’s right, the only way to get video to the Thunderbolt Display is by using a Thunderbolt enabled Mac (or theoretically a Thunderbolt enabled PC). For Mac users that means only 2011 MacBook Pro, Air, iMac or Mac mini models will work with the Thunderbolt Display.
Which means that if I were to buy a Mac Pro from the apple store right now, I’d have to go somewhere else to buy a display. That’s the most un-Apple-like thing I’ve seen Apple do in a long time.
