    Cool and fast

    • Written by from Red Deer

    I bought the Thunderbolt to use with a Macbook Air and iMac - the iMac is a display for the Air. The cable works well - but the Apple Store where I bought it didn't tell me how to make the iMac work properly. One call to tech support - CMD + F2, System Preferences, Display - Mirror Display; cool! …More

    Warning for 27" iMac users

    • Written by from leeds

    I've been looking for a solution to use my 27" i5 iMac as an extended desktop for my MBP and went into my local Apple store. My iMac is late 2009 so the first i5 quad core machine which only has mini display port. After speaking with 3 or 4 technicians in the store I was told as Thunderbolt is essentially the same connection it would work. Unfortunately they were all wrong, looks like I'll have to find another solution. I would have thought there would be a simple cable to allow me to do this! Nobody seems to know how best to do this with the machines I have but I'm told all 27" iMac's support this feature!! I'm sure the cable is great, just make sure your iMac has a thunderbolt port:-) I've given it 3 stars as it would be unfair to give it 1 due to poor advice from Apple. …More

    Excellent

    • Written by from North Vancouver

    High quality as expected. Allows me to use my 27" iMac as an extended 2nd display for my MacBook Pro simply by selecting CMD + F2. In this "Target Display Mode", my iMac keeps everything running in the background so I can always go back to using my iMac any time. If I want to play audio or video from my MacBook Pro on the iMac, I simply choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Sound, and then click Output - then select my iMac from the list of devices.

    Incredible!     …More

    Does what it it supposed to, (unless it fries itself)

    • Written by from Alamo

    I've purchased 10 of these cables for my video production company, and while they seem to be well built and have the fit and finish I have come to expect from Apple, 2 of the 10 have stopped working. Both failures caused, (or were caused by) kernel panics on 2 different computers. Since they are the only game in town, you should definitely still buy them if you need them. just make sure, (however painful it is at $50 a pop) to pick up a spare or two if you're using them for mission-critical applications. …More
