Apple has launched what it calls, the "world's first Thunderbolt display."
As one might expect, the 27-inch display allows users to connect their Macs via Thunderbolt. According to Apple, the display is designed forMac notebook users who want to have a larger screen and extra ports to connect to additional peripherals.
The Thunderbolt-equipped display comes with a 16:9 aspect ratio and a 178-degree viewing angle. Its built-in camera allows users to engage in HD FaceTime video conferencing. The display also comes with a 2.1-speaker audio system built-in and a MagSafe charger to power up the Mac notebooks. Three USB 2.0 ports, a FireWire 800 port, and a Gigabit Ethernet port are also included. According to Apple, users will be able to daisy chain up to five other Thunderbolt devices with the display.
For all that functionality, the Thunderbolt display isn't coming cheap. According to Apple, it plans to launch the display "within the next 60 days," for $999.
