My bad. I would like it to be cheaper, but since it will be the only offering I have to decide whether it is worth it to me now. My answer is yes and I respect that your answer is different.Machinesworking wrote:Needlessly antagonistic post on your part.Tysonviolin wrote:If you don't need it don't buy itMachinesworking wrote:^^^

Why not just say that you think it's a good price?
Personally I don't think it's a good price because it's almost half the cost of the macbook air.
Hopefully actual retail puts it at $299 or so.

First off isn't it a bit late to start selling Thunderbolt adaptors? Seems like Apple was trying to give the third party people the lead there to me...3dot... wrote:don't forget you thunderbolt->LAN...
as new mac laptops seem to be missing an obvious lan cable port...
meanwhile Apple gets to sell more necessary "adapters"

Then we have only one port left. Which device should we prioritize? Display? Audio i/f? HD?3dot... wrote:don't forget you thunderbolt->LAN...

Likely it will remain a Mac only feature for a while. It's hard to say, will PC manufacturers adopt or stick with a huge bundle of ports on their laptops? The thing is the open market on desktops ensures that likely we'll not see too many Thunderbolt ports on PC Windows towers.also... I don't see anyone following their "lead" on this. Ethernet is faster than WIFI.
The Onboard Ethernet adapter is in there... why not put the Ethernet input that connects to it.. ?
I don't, I have no idea how much Apple products are in Israel, but here in the states it's more like about 20% more. Which IMO is more than covered by the OS and case design etc. Also, seriously why the fuck do you care? You're acting all outraged about and reading threads on a product line that you don't use??? You're trolling now, but if you were simply interested in the technology, the answer is simple and plain as day, Thunderbolt can act as a docking station, that's clear with the Belkin breakout box and the Cinema displays Apple are making now. If you followed Apple pricing you would know that devices like the Macbook Air are going way down in price, probably largely due to the streamlining of the design and moving parts etc.you do pay x2 for a Mac vs. similar spec PC laptop hardware don't ya?
the answer is obvious.
Right and they all go broke selling product to consumers except evil ol Apple....Apple is making a killing. 3rd party manufacturers need to pay Apple.
and they pay in bulk... not like the pesky users....that pay in pennies..
money in the bank for Apple...
chiching!
Your analogy flaws. Thunderbolt isn't contributing the number of ports. It's rather worse. There is no genuine hub at all unlike USB3.0 hub is available under 30 bucks. Sry, USB won again.It's hard to say, will PC manufacturers adopt or stick with a huge bundle of ports on their laptops?
Wireless's connection quality sucks, period.I hooked up the Mac Pro here with it and thought I would notice the BLAZING SPEEDS, but alas, music software developers simply do not have fast downloads, period!
FWIW, at least OS isn't covering because OSX's performance isn't as much as today's Windows. And the design isn't always apple's. See the iPhone's clock design. They steal Swiss rail watch design. Apple need money to pay the license fee to use the design. Your money goes to them so your assumption would be true.Which IMO is more than covered by the OS and case design etc.
We are using computers. So we actually use. We care as same way as you are caring 'specific' PC manufactures. I'll rephrase it to 'All' if you knew and are using all models of PC on the market.Also, seriously why the fuck do you care? You're acting all outraged about and reading threads on a product line that you don't use???
Troll is calling the others troll, funnyYou're trolling now, but if you were simply interested in the technology,
Almost 2 years from its release. Still no genuine hub. "We got LAN adaptor for TB now!" heh no thanks. How much does your assumption support your arguments? Furthermore, those minor manufacture isn't enough to pay $300 just for hub feature. Epic fail so far.the answer is simple and plain as day, Thunderbolt can act as a docking station, that's clear with the Belkin breakout box and the Cinema displays Apple are making now.
