Hey guys. I wanted to ask Thunderbolt display users what it feels like to use an Apple TB Display?
I didn't realize before that it basically acts as a dock. And basically with it, I'll get Ethernet, more connectivity to my server, and of course it will charge my mac as well.
I'm not bugged by the $1000 price tag. I'm big up on displays. I was just sort of anti-apple previously, despite owning an ipod classic for about 8 years, and then ipod touch (w/cam) and iPad retina 64gb 3g. i still thought Apple products were "for newbs" (aprt from handhelds of course which got the job done).
But since I became a "mac" I've realized the benefits that lies in Apple.
So... $1000 on a display that will also serve as a dock.
Please note this wont be for home entertainment - I already have a 40" Sony Internet Tv synced wirelessly to my MacAir, it will be mostly for database management and of course some youtubing. The Ethernet is kewl because I have about 10TB on my server, and don't really have an AC router just yet.
This will replace my current 21" samsung led screen, which I'll give back to my Acer Ethos and custom desktop pc to share (I hate changing cables and it only plugs 2).
So, is it worth it? Is it necessary? Basically, do you Apple Display guys have "fun" with your piece and how much use is it as a work display. I usually prefer 21" to work with my laptop. Will the 27" throw me off, you think?
Thanks for any suggestion guys.
