You don't.
Hi
can any body shed light on how i am going to connect my thunderbolt display with new macbook.
Not gonna happen.
The new macbook cannot charge and connect a thunderbolt display at the same time.
The thunderbolt display is still around and can be connected to any other macbook air or pro.
USB C only means Apple has surrendered Thunderbolt to the grim reaper. I expect the NEW displays to be USB C.
Oh My GOD!!!!!
So no support for Thunderbolt display !!!!!
Well I guess i should sell mine as sooner or later this has to happen,
It won't....
You can't run a 5K display on anything but a nMP in teh apple line up. 4K yes but not 5K the connection bandwidth isn't there yet on HDMI or Display port technology. The nMP can do it with 2 thunderbolt cables and 2 graphics cards.
I SOLD MY THUNDERBOLT DISPLAY LAST NIGHT !!!!!
well better carry on with apple lights
going for 5k dell display, will work with my existing MBP and upcoming macbook 12 for wife
i will miss my thunderbolt display

It just further shows that the new Macbook is not intended to be used as a desktop or production/workstation without thunderbolt (via adapter).
It does seem more and more like a glorified netbook even though people hate calling it that.

Nothing glorified about it
It is the ultimate netbook that will run OSX and apple apps as well as any previous generation macbook air.
