Intel will support USB 3 alongside Thunderbolt
- kayoone 16y agoSomebody should just bring a USB 3.0 Hub that works with Thunderbolt and i would be fine. Multiple Monitors galore ;)
- elai 16y agoI think someone is working on a thunderbolt -> USB3 + more hub. I personally can't wait until the next gen macbook airs have thunderbolt and hopefully usb3. There would be finally a way to transfer data to/from them in a quick way, their biggest flaw currently. It would also allow me to have a two connection laptop dock too.

- huxley 16y agoYeah, same here. I really hope that Wacom goes for the Thunderbolt. My current rig includes a 12" Cintiq which has a mess of cables, a breakout box, a wall wart, needs a Displayport to DVI adaptor, etc etc. The mess of cables is exactly like this: http://www.photofacts.nl/fotografie/foto/et/wacom_cintiq_cables.jpg http://www.photofacts.nl/fotografie/foto/et/wacom_cintiq_cab... Hate the cables so much.
- zokier 16y agoThunderbolt is essentially external PCIe lane. I think its rather obvious that it isn't competing with USB (which is best suited for elcheapo gadgets)
