Computer Monitor For Apple Laptop Thunderbolt

Bought one back in December to use my old Apple Thunderbolt monitor with my Dell laptop. Once I went through the process of updating *ALL* the drivers and the motherboard BIOS, it worked perfectly. And then, tragedy struck. My laptop decided to give up the ghost and I opted to get a lighter HP, so I returned my Dell docking station to work and waited for the wheels of corporate bureaucracy to churn until I got a new one for my HP. It took 7 months, but I got it this past weekend. AND IT STILL WORKED! I fired it up connected to the TB Monitor and it came right up, even before updating everything (which I did). Come Monday morning (today), I have a MASSIVE 27" monitor to work off of.

That's right, this adapter allows you to connect your Dell Alienware 17 computer (Thunderbolt 3 adapter) to an Apple 27 Thunderbolt display...and it WORKS!!! I searched all over for something that would work, and this works...no kidding. The cheapo brands out there will NOT work, trust me I checked them all out. B&H always has the cheapest price + fast, free shipping.

This Apple Thunderbolt 2 cable, was the cable needed to connect an older desktop MacPro(late 2013) computer to a OWC Thunderbolt 3 docking station(note: a Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) to Thunderbolt 2 adaptor is needed to connect the computer to a Thunderbolt 3 docking station. Thanks to B&H for making all of this happen.

I use a Presonus Firestudio Project, which uses a Firewire connection, in my home studio. Of course, Firewire is a dead standard but I had seen that Apple had a converter to go from Firewire to Thunderbolt, so when I ordered my ASUS Republic of Gamers computer from B&H of course I ordered the Apple converter too. Unfortunately what I didn't realize was that the Thunderbolt end was the older, larger connector, and the computer had a USB-C/Thunderbolt connector that's a different size. So I still couldn't make the last mile. I ordered this converter, and it works perfectly. A couple of words of caution, though. It didn't work right away, not because of the converter but because of quirks in the Presonus hardware and their Studio One software. If you're looking at this for the same reason, be sure to remember to install Universal Control off the disk that came with the hardware first. Then download the update. It might take a few restarts to get the computer to see the Firestudio Project and get the light to turn blue. Once you've done that, if you're using Studio One and it doesn't show up automatically you can manually select it as the audio device. Then you'll be good to go. This converter has been a lifesaver. I can now record again, and I don't have to try to talk my wife into letting me buy a new audio interface!

If you have an Apple laptop (or any other laptop with Thunderbolt) this is an awesome device to convert your laptop into a desktop. So many connection options for USB devices, secondary monitors, backup storage drives, keyboard, mouse, ethernet, you name it, all in one simple connection to your laptop by a single Thunderbolt cable. And it charges the laptop at the same time through the Thunderbolt connection. It cost $$ but is so worth it for the convenience. Newer Thunderbolt 4 device really adds little to real-world use, so if you don't have a reason for Thunderbolt 4 connectivity, save a few $ and buy this. You will not be disappointed.

We bought this Apple Laptop as a replacement for my wife's work computer when she retired. This is the perfect laptop for her needs. Everything works well, great size and weight. Plenty of power and storage for all of her needs.

I bought this monitor as I needed a replacement for my ageing Apple Thunderbolt display. I researched about half a year on a variety of monitors from all the leading brands, but was dismayed by the lack of features, connectivity, a true 4K resolution or the build quality. I am a graphic designer and I need a monitor with a full color gamut, and a true reproduction of colours in various ambient lighting conditions. While my old Thunderbolt display was less than perfect, it worked for the time being. I also looked at EIZO displays, but did not have the budget for a monitor with similar specs. With the BenQ PD3220U I found a display that works great for me.  On the plus side: • Full 4K monitor with an absolute brilliant clarity. • Matte coated anti glare screen  • Single USB-C connection to my MacBook Pro for charge and display  • Excellent / true colour reproduction when calibrated • Solid build quality • Ability to set up in Portrait or Landscape • Height adjustable • Plenty of ports • Very thin bezels which makes the display look smaller despite its 32  On the minus side: • Coming from an Apple product, the ports for peripherals are not easy to access. • No camera - but then, this is a design monitor and I have a camera build-in to my laptop • Speakers are horrible, but yet again, the focus should be on the monitor itself. Overall, I love the monitor and considering that this display cost about the same as the LG displays Apple promotes it is superior in build quality and features.

A superb Thunderbolt cable from Apple. I use it to connect an Apple Studio Monitor with a Mac Mini M2 Pro. Flawless performance.

Bought this last month to try and streamline my computer situation. I had noticed my desktop starting to give me some issues. Insdead of purchasing a new desktop I decided to try and consolodate everything and just use my laptop. Everything works as advertised. I have no experience with "hubs" so I was hoping things would work like I imagined. I had one hiccup with my Thunderbolt software on my laptop, but the service team got back to me in quick order with detailed walk through directions to get it updated, and everything works like a dream. I plug in my laptop with the Thunderbolt cord and my displays, keyboard, mouse, and printers all work perfectly. Highly recommend.

I bought 2 of these for my laptop for a dual monitor display. These are less than half the price than the Apple brand. I also own the apple version on another computer and these are the exact same build and don't feel or work any different. I love Apple but spend your money on their computers/tablets and save yourself a few bucks on accessories.
