Light Peak would be capable of handling i/o and display.
It makes sense. Apple and Intel have been pushing Light Peak forever, and USB 3.0 is starting to make inroads, so Apple and Intel's time to act is now.

that's due to the plastic wrapping that looks like it's been partially slid off...
This has an SD card slot and FW port. I think its the Pro model not the Macbook.
Exactly.
Why are we surprised, Apple ALWAYS underwhelms as compared to the rumour wishlist.
yes, there wil lbe games which will run slower with the hd3000. but there also will be gamew which run fast. only a litte, but they exist. on 3DMark 05 the hd 300 is 10% faster than the 320m,...
so as i wrote.. with the faster cpu i don't think that anybody can see the difference. and if you don't want it, you can buy the old macbook. the big advantage of the hd3000 is the much better batteriepower.
and don't forget, there is no alternative: there are no nvidia chipsets for the sandybridge cpus. so the only possibility for apple is an dedicated gpu and this is too much for the lowest macbook pro.
You're kidding right?
Lightpeak as a name is pretty meh, but Thunderbolt!? But I guess it goes hand in hand with laughable, cheasy names like "Launch pad" and "Mission control"
perhaps - wildcard here ...
the 13" retains the current design, replaces the white macbook and is downgraded once more to a 'non pro' device and the 15" and 17" devices get a minor design update with standard high res / anti glare displays? at least then defines pro units as visually different?
like I said, wildcard.

Those bastards at HTC are now copying Apple before Apple even get round to using it.
apple need to sue htc again
100 posts in this thread, and no one has brought up the patent that was the headline just a few days ago.
If Apple was to name the port something other than "Light Peak", why would it look like what is pictured in the first post? A USB-like connecter is something Apple would have considered no later than 2005. It's 2011. Apple's next connector will be magnetic based.
I think that patent is a replacement for this:
And finally this:
OMG it's a big day today.. starting from iPad 2 event on March 2, OS X Lion, and now this.... this Thunderbolt thing!
My take is that I won't believe it until I see it. But can someone explain this:
How did they do that?

1280x800 is NOT fine, unless we're talking about a cell phone or a 10" netbook. I'm finally able to replace our old laptops at work, all of which have 1280x800 screens. We got them that way because my boss, who got the first one, didn't want to wait an extra week to get a decent display, so it became the standard. Over the past 3 years, the single biggest complaint I get from everybody is the low resolution of the screen, and the fact that you can't get much work done with that few pixels. When I started rolling out the replacements with 1920x1080 displays, 3 people literally broke into tears.
no. you get a much better batterie-lief and a grafik which is as good as the version bevore.
