Video of Dual Thunderbolt Display off a 15" MacBook Pro

[Sjhonny]

Anandtech has an in-depth article about the TB display.
According to Anand's findings it's only possible to 'daisy-chain' two TB displays if there's another TB device between them.

Not true. That is the case with TB Display + Cinema Display setup.

That's an awesome setup.

This makes no sense. Just because you don't use all of the real estate of a single 27" does not mean that other people don't find that setup useful.

And 2 x 27" displays is more functional than 15" + 27"...

Your right, spending $999 to having mail open on a full 27" monitor, while not using the 15" built in screen is truly more useful and functional.

I bet trying to run a game across two of those monitors would murder the FPS.

Right, and he uses that second screen *just* for mail.

He has a nice setup and can afford it, so what?

Dual screen setups are extremely useful, as i've just found out.

Why is this suddenly new news? I mean sure its cool but I see people running dual displays off MacBooks all the time....I'm planning on getting a USB graphics card and running dual cheapo 1600x900 or even 1920x1200 displays off it PLUS using my MacBook's screen. Still cool but I can't see the justification in spending that much cash...

That's pretty cool.

What kind of stand is that Macbook Pro sitting in? I'm getting a TB display to use with my MBA, and would like something similiar.

Daisy-chaining the TB displays is definitely something new. It makes your desk setup clean and neat without all the excessive cables. The point here is the TB connection I guess, not so much the dual $999 monitors.

You don't turn it off even when you go mobile? I'd turn it off when lugging it around.

I haven't powered down my MBP since I bought it at the start of the year either, other than to resolve crashes and do updates. It's so much more convenient just to have it ready to go when I open the lid.

With my last MBP I sometimes caused a safe sleep when I moved it too roughly and too quickly into my rucksack after closing the lid, mind you.

Nice desk!

Really like your desk! May I ask where did you get it from?

Thanks

Oh, yea I couldn't find a simple desk that I liked anywhere online so I just went to Ikea and bought a 73" wooden countertop and plopped it down on some white sawhorse legs. Nothing fancy but I love it.

Oops, can't edit my post any more but this is the photo I meant to include for the prize-for-most-ironic-ad-placement-prize:

Could you run Lion on one monitor and Windows on the other ??

Lots of ram and VMware or parallels.

That looks awesome!

Never really understood this arc design. You lose another screen just for looks?

I have this stand, and it is great:

Paid 35$ for it at Fry's, I have no idea why Amazon asks for 199$.
