Get ready to compute like never before with the brand spanking new furiously fast fire-wire dwarfing input/output Thunderbolt! The newest MacBook Pro laptops from Apple will debut the device that is sure to revolutionize computer technology.
Apple has teamed with Intel to take universal Input/Outputs, like USB 2.0, to the next hierarchy of tech awesomeness. For anyone looking to wow a spouse or family member with a gift, there can be no second to the new king of portable laptops: the MacBook Pro.
Each of the new MacBook Pros harnesses an innovative Thunderbolt port that provides for high definition video (in HDMI, VGA, DVI, Displayport) and data transfer that is up to twenty times quicker than the USB 2.0 that is currently the standard Input/Output in desktop and laptop computers.
Where USB 2.0 transfers data at a begrudgingly slow 480 Mbits and the much more adept FireWire 800 is at a much more eye-pleasing 800 Mbits, the new Thunderbolt uploads and downloads at an ass kicking names taking 10 Gbs per second (fast enough to copy the data found on a CD in under a second). USB has started to trickle out USB 3.0 capable hard drives to form a new standard of data/port, but here is the kicker folks, the USB 3.0 delivers an already outdated and overwhelmed 5 Gbps (half of the Thunderbolt’s lightning speed).
Film makers, from the Coen brothers (who used Macs and their Final Cut Pro programs to cut the movie True Grit), to amateurs trying to form the next independent film classic (like Reservoir Dogs), the Thunderbolt makes a portable MacBook Pro into a full on professionally capable semblance to form silver screen flicks. Apple writes: “With Thunderbolt technology, peripheral manufacturers finally have what they need to take high-performance devices from workstations and top-of-the-line desktops to portable computers.”
Give me the Thunderbolt power!
One cable to rule them all!
