There's a bit of sleight of hand on their Thunderbolt Display page [1]. The first image is of a MacBook Air hooked up to one of the new displays, but when they talk about "The ultimate docking station" they show a MacBook Pro.
This is because the Thunderbolt and power ports are next to one another on the MBP, but on the Air they're on different sides of the machine, which is going to make it a lot less elegant.

- reustle 15y agoI'm pretty sure apple is anything but lazy with these types of things.
- amstrad464 15y agoSaving time doesn't necessarily mean laziness, especially if one has to meet tight deadlines (which may or may not be the case here). I don't understand why the grand parent is being down-voted, he just offered an different view.
- Tyrannosaurs 15y agoI suspect it's because Apple are generally seen as sticklers for perfection when it comes to presentation and people think it's unlike that they've cut corners on something like this for a new product launch.
- marknutter 15y agoThey clearly took a picture with the Macbook Air, but I still maintain they weren't trying to intentionally mislead people: [http://images.apple.com/displays/images/overview_hero1.jpg](http://images.apple.com/displays/images/overview_hero1.jpg) http://images.apple.com/displays/images/overview_hero1.jpg](...

- jambo 15y agoI don't think it's misleading. The first image on the page shows a Macbook Air with Thunderbolt going to one side & power to the other. That image is just the first in a slide show of Macs connected to displays, and the page isn't about the Macbook Air, it's about the display.
- bengl3rt 15y agoYeah. The new Macbook Pro can obviously drive two displays in daisy-chain off a single TB port... does the Air not do it? Can it only run one?
