With the magsafe and the mini-display being on opposite side on the MacAir, how does the combined usb/mini-display/magsafe cable works ?

The picture presented of the new display are not very clear. It looks like there would not be enough 'free' cable to connect both the magsafe andthe mini-display on a MacAir

My Imac 27 as a pc display

I have an Imac 27 that I want to use as a external display through the mini displayport. My PC has a Sapphire 5750 video card with displayport. I have a displayport to mini displayport cable suggested by apple tech support, however it is not working any suggestions?

Can the display charge a MacBook on your desk and be connected to a Mac Pro at the same time? The combined cable segments look too short!

Can it work with a 15" MacBook Pro (mid 2008) without a mini Display Port?

I have a 15" Mac Book Pro, and would like to know if there is an adapter available to connect my MBP to one of the new Apple Cinema displays that now require a mini Display port. My MacBook Pro does not have a mini Display port. Thanks

How does the USB come into effect

I see how the Magsafe and MiniDisplay works, but the USP doesn't seem to make sense. If you connect to any computer all you need is the Mini DisplayPort connecter. Why the USB?

I know there have been other questions about the 27" Apple LED Cinema display working with PCs, but does it work with the Radeon HD 5770?

Others have mentioned more powerful cards such as the Radeon HD 5970, but this monitor's max resolution is at that of the Radeon HD 5770. I am going to buy a Macbook Pro with the i7 and *possibly* this monitor, if it works with my PC. I have a Intel based board with a Radeon HD 5770. I know older mac pros had these, so it works with the card in general, but does it work in a PC under Linux? I was looking at a display port male (the one on my 5770) to mini displayport female (I know the display has a mini male DP connector).
