I was wondering if the Apple 24" Cinema Display functioned well as a USB Hub. I'd like to hook up an external hard drive, an Apple wired keyboard and an iPhone 4 dock up to an ACD. Will all those work when I connect the ACD up to my MacBook Pro? It'd make it much more convenient to plug in and take out my MacBook.
Got a tip for us?
