I in no way said I bought an Apple Thunderbolt Display. The fact is I purchased a LG and paid more for it because of the single connection.
As to the HDMI I own about 20 display port to VGA because I would forget to bring the adapter and have to buy a new one (100k miles per year, 10 years 3 startups - and yes, I did have a big win - I just like building new stuff). Having the HDMI made that a non-issue. Now I am back to dang, did I remember the adapter?!?!?!
The point about co-existence is pretty simple, now that I am looking beyond the walled garden I am and not hard locked it allows me to consider other replacements.
I am a hard core engineer that made the jump to the sales and marketing side and lesson number one is never ever ever allow your competition a foot hole, as they will land, grab and expand. Push me off the MacBook Pro (Pro is the key word here) and you have done exactly that.
I can deal with the USB-C to be honest - I will buy a dock that does the Thnderbolt but the HDMI and the keyboard are just not well reasoned.
- extra88 10y agoAs the support document I quoted notes, if the display is Thunderbolt and not merely Mini DisplayPort (and it must be Thunderbolt since you mention the single cable carrying non-video protocols), you wouldn't need a dock, just a Thunderbolt 3 to Thunderbolt 2 adapter.
- myrandomcomment 10y agoThanks, I will have a look, but the lack of HDMI and the keyboard is the real deal breaker.
