$1599 isn't quite as bad as I expected, actually.
I've still got my old 27" Apple Thunderbolt Display (a puny 2560 by 1440 pixels), which i use daily. (The convenience of built-in video/mic/USB hub, with one cable, is indispensible and more important to me than resolution, and it's been really unclear to me what else could do that with a macbook). But might be ready to upgrade to this guy.
- Gualdrapo 5y agoI also have a Thunderbolt Display, which I got last year. It's been great and, as you say, having webcam/mic/speakers/usb hub _and an Ethernet port_ is absolutely fantastic. And the quality of the thing overall is just superb. Also for me those "add-ons" are more important than pixel density, and I'm saying this as a graphic designer. If there were a version of this with a bigger size (but with less pixel density), and maybe a more 'squared' factor, I'd jump to it without even thinking, but alas for Apple pixel density is first above everything else.
- pkamb 5y agoThat's the same resolution (screen real estate) as this new one. Just 1x and not 2x Retina.
- jrochkind1 5y agoAh, good call! Honestly... I'm not sure I care about making it retina?
- mekster 5y ago> $1599 isn't quite as bad as I expected, actually. Only if you try not to look at other vendors. It doesn't offer anything fancy except the fancy pricing.
- jrochkind1 5y agoI am interested in comparison shopping, I can't find very many other vendors that offer displays with built-in camera, mic, speakers, as well as ethernet port and USB hub, all connected with the USB-C/thunderbolt cable. Do they exist but I'm just bad at shopping? I may be! Please help out?
