Since Apple's introduction of Thunderbolt, there has been a ton of hype... but
Apple was, of course, one of the first to update their Cinema Displays to the new Thunderbolt port w/ hub. Why is this a big deal?
For Macbook Pro owners, attaching a regular LCD allows only ONE external monitor, along with the built-in LCD.
With Thunderbolt, the Macbook Pro 13" gains the ability to power 2 external TB displays, albeit disabling the internal LCD, while the 15" and 17" MBP with graphics cards can handle 2 TB displays aside from the built-in display!
Macbook Airs on the other hand are still out of luck, stuck with just one external display, regardless of whether it's a Thunderbolt or Mini Displayport LCD.
The new Apple Cinema Display also has a Thunderbolt port at the back to allow the daisy-chaining of the second Thunderbolt display, or other Thunderbolt accessories.
(Like Sonnet's new Thunderbolt to Expresscard adapters or hard drives)
