    iPad Pro iPad Pro M4 + Hub/Dock

    Hi All I am considering getting an iPad Pro M4 11", primarily as a travel device. When on long trips, I backup photos from my DSLR/MILC to two 2TB external SSDs (and an external 4TB magnetic drive, if time permits). Right now I use a 7 year old HP x360 that has begun to show its age. The...

    External SSD for storage - A little advice please

    I am getting closer to moving into the Mac desktop environment (I have used iPhone and iPad for years). I am a bit of a newbie to some of technology like Thunderbolt. The plan is for an M4 Mac Mini with 512Gb storage and 24Gb of RAM. This should hopefully support the use of Office applications...

    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...

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...
