What about "zed" for the letter "zee"? Or their pronunciation of "aluminum"?![]()

Thunderbolt and Lightning have really taken the market by storm, bringing all sorts of advantages over other ports. Well done, Apple.
Since all Macs come with powered USB ports, 2 Thunderbolt ports...
Not all Macs come with 2 Thunderbolt ports. As far as I know most 2011 macs have 1 Thunderbolt and the 2012 cMBP also only have just 1. Also, the Air and Mini have only 1. The only Macs to my knowledge with 2 or more Thunderbolt ports are the rMBPs, 2011 27inch iMacs, 2012-2013 iMacs and the new Mac Pro.
Thunderbolt and Lightning
..It is hard to imagine a thunderbolt to USB 3 only adaptor would retail for less.
Doesn't the Belkin one have issues? Such as kernal panicks when actually plugging and unplugging the dock on the fly? Hope this is better.
Anyone know if this supports optical audio out like the rMBP's have?
Would I see any performance lost on games with this? I would have 2x 24" monitors plugged into the dock (1x HDMI and the other DVI-MiniDisplay), plus ethernet and all the USB ports. Seems like a lot for 1 TB cable and this device.
Also, would the laptop know to switch between the Intel graphics and the dedicated nvidia still?
Nevermind, saw on the website that the audio is analogue only. Sucks.
Are there no thunderbolt docks out there that comes with a MagSafe-charger?
I've been using the Belkin for many months now with zero issues. System runs 24/7, too.
This magical hindrance is really bad. Most affordable dongles are useless, since they don't have TB passthrough and there's no TB hub.Thunderbolt is a daisy chain only interface. It can not be split.
This pretty much shows that Apple wanted TB only as casual overpriced use or professional overpriced use or only for use with apple's display.I'd buy a Thunderbolt to USB 3 adapter in a heartbeat if it was <$50.

Question: Why is there no simple Apple (or any other brand), TB to USB3 adapter?
Joking aside though, thunderbolt so far has been pretty useless for me on my rMBP so far. The only thing I ever seem to do with it is plug in adapters to turn the socket into something else. We're already moving onto TB2 and yet TB1 has barely anything of value to plug into it.
Aluminum is fine, you spell it a different way and pronounce it as it's written.
I still find some pronunciations strange though, like pronouncing Craig as Creg or hover as huvver. Still, keeps the world interesting. We in the UK can't complain anyway, we have over seventy different words for "breadcake".

How about they release the damn T2 Thunderbolt Enclosure they've been teasing for 2 years.

There are TB to Gigabit Ethernet, as well as TB to FW800 adapters available for $29.
Yay for $200 you can now save yourself 4 seconds of wasted time every morning! Or just set your alarm to 4 minutes sooner, you won't notice the difference
