    Cable Charger compatibility (Apple included)

    So I saw Apple has new braided USB-C cables! But the 1m cable is just 60W instead of 100W... Now, hypothetically... What if I only want to carry around one charger and one cable for iPhone, iPad and Mac... What if I use the shorter 1m braided 60W cable with a 96W charger and my MacBook Pro...

    Target Disk Mode Slow - Why?

    Hi, today was my first time using Target Disk Mode and it took a lot longer than I expected - around 35 minutes to transfer a 75GB file. In my opinion, it was pretty ideal conditions for a fast transfer between: an M1 MacBook Pro (16-inch, 2021) an M2 MacBook Pro (16-inch, 2023) transferring a...

    Triple Monitor - 1 6k, 2 5k

    Hi, I am upgrading monitors and was considering using 1 Pro Display XDR in the middle, and 2 LG Ultrafine 5ks vertically on the side. Over time I might upgrade the LGs to Studio Displays. If upgrading them now would make the setup work better, I'd consider it. I know all of this would work a...

    Connecting a Mac Studio to an HDMI 2.1 Display at 4k 120Hz

    Hello. I purchased my M1 Ultra Mac Studio in march, but I was really disappointed in learning its HDMI port being 2.0 instead of 2.1 (the minimum for a machine of such price). When connected to any sort of Apple Display this would not be a problem, as the thunderbolt ports have enough...

    Other USB/Thunderbolt 4 in iPhone 15 Pro?

    Just a quick post based on an idea that I had: as a further form of market segmentation, how likely do you think it is that next year's iPhone 15 gets USB 3.2 Gen 1x2 or 2x2 (10Gbit/s and 20Gbit/s) and the iPhone 15 Pros (or iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Ultra, in titanium, naturally) get USB4 Gen 3x2...

    CalDigit Element Hub (Thunderbolt 4)...Issues?

    I've found a need for yet another Thunderbolt Hub. Currently I'm very happy with the devices I have, however the extra USB A legacy ports in addition to the Thunderbolt ports is very appealing to me over the Anker hub I already own. I see that a lot of people are having issues with the TS4...

    Three 4k monitors on Sonnet Echo 11 Thunderbolt 4 Dock w/ M1 Max?

    Sonnet's own compatibility matrix suggests that using three 4k monitors via their dock is possible (with the caveat that you apparently need to use their Thunderbolt 3 to Dual DisplayPort Adapter). Theoretically that should be possible since 4k60 uses ~12Gbps bandwidth, and hence 36gbps total...

    M1 Air port not working for external monitor

    Hello everyone, I want to connect my Macbook Air M1 2020 to an external display. When I connect the monitor to the second port, it works perfectly, but when I plug it to the first port, nothing happens. The port seems to be working fine though, since I am able to connect a hub to it. Also I...

    Thunderbolt Dock Help

    I'm trying to daisy chain a Razer thunderbolt 4 dock with a cal digit element 4 hub so run 2 monitors, a couple usb-a peripherals etc. through my macbook pro with the single thunderbolt connection into the MBP. What i'm finding is that any peripheral (like a webcam or logitech USB) that is not...

    Best Thunderbolt 4 USB-C Docking Station Solution?

    I've used a variety of USB-C docking station solutions for my M1 MacBook Pro, and unfortunately, I have been having constant issues with them. The OWC Thunderbolt 3 docking station was one that I've had the fewest issues with, but they ultimately breakdown after a couple months of usage. One of...

    5K Apple Thunderbolt display build

    In summer 2020 I saw this DIY video and wanted to do something similar, but I had some reservations about the way that it has been done with an iMac chassis. Obviously, these types of displays look fantastic, but as a self-avowed Apple devotee, I just couldn’t stomach the idea of just having a...

    Thunderbolt 4 in 2018?

    It's been speculated that Apple will announce a new 8K cinema display in year 2018. The only 8K monitor on market right now requires dual DP 1.4 connection. A single thunderbolt 3 is unlikely to handle 8K at 60Hz. Will Apple allow using dual thunderbolt 3 connection, or forcing people to buy a...

    Waiting for Thunderbolt 4 thread (eGPU folks, this might interest you)

    With Apple making external GPUs (eGPUs) a reality in macOS 10.13, I've decided to wait as long as I need to until Apple releases a computer with Thunderbolt 4, specifically on a MacBook Pro. (32 GB DDR4L RAM might come as well by then.) If you look at my short post history, you might doubt me...
