Yes. Thunderbolt in the latest MBP utilizes the same physical plug as mini-Displayport that this monitor has as its video cable. More importantly, Thunderbolt output from the latest MBP is also technically designed to pass the Displayport video signal through to monitors such as this one that does out have a Thunderbolt connection.

The other way around is what is not possible...there is no way to connect a non-Thunderbolt MBP (or any other computer for that matter) to a Thunderbolt 27" display because Thunderbolt Cinema Display's Thunderbolt video input can only handle an income Thunderbolt video signal and it has no other video inputs.

I have not purchased this particular refurbished product, however, routinely buy refurbished Apple products and they consistently arrive in perfect condition free from any scratches or imperfections. I personally would not be hesitant of buying a refurbished monitor from Apple.

Yes it should work with the Macbook Air fine. I have a professor in my school of art at college who has the same monitor hooked up to an 11" Macbook Air regularly. The Macbook Air is equipped with a Thunderbolt Port that is the same style connector as the Display Port this monitor comes with. This monitor comes with a USB, Display Port, & mag-safe all-in-one charger (which you can see in the product pictures) for hooking up a Macbook Air or Macbook Pro to this screen for a larger viewing area. You should not have to purchase any extra cables. -TYPØ

This monitor is glossy. It looks the same as an iMac display. You may want to check out the Apple Cinema Displays (Non-LED) that were released about 2005. They're great screens and have a matte finish.
