Thunderbolt

Marvel Comics fans learn that "Thunderbolt" Ross got his nickname from his fellow troops as a young soldier. He became known for striking quickly and without warning while displaying deadly accuracy — thus, like a thunderbolt. Since Ross is a career soldier from a military family, it's probably not shocking that he's deadly and efficient on the battlefield and good at protecting his own men. Before he ran afoul of the Hulk, Ross was a decorated colonel who served in several wars and was beloved by the men…

Image: AccellIf you've never used a docking station like Accell's Thunderbolt 4 Dock, you're missing out. Loads of us use a single, often work-provided, laptop when we're on the go and working from home. The hassle of swapping between these two scenarios means we often find ourselves struggling to get work done on a tiny laptop display with nothing but its built-in keyboard and touchpad. After all, who feels like connecting and disconnecting six or seven cables multiple times a day to take advantage of external…

This recent demo didn’t seem to show any additional features of the new Thunderbolt 5 other than the speed. However, we do know a little bit more based on pictures posted by former Intel exec Gregory Bryant. Mark Coppock/Digital Trends Bryant tweeted out since-deleted…

With the arrival of Thunderbolt 4, choosing the right cable for USB-C and Thunderbolt computers and devices has become a lot easier. The short answer, which I’ll explain here, is that if you’re looking for absolutely the best cable to buy for USB-C, Thunderbolt 3 or Thunderbolt 4, you should aim for an Intel-certified Thunderbolt 4 cable. The same goes for USB-C and USB4. If someone needs to buy a Thunderbolt 3 cable right now they might as well buy a universal Thunderbolt 4 cable since it is backwards compatible…

However, HP’s 31.5-inch Z32K G3 4K 60Hz monitor stands out with its Thunderbolt 4 support, allowing 100W charging and speedy 40Gbps data passthrough, as well as the unique ability to be daisy-chained with another 4K display — all through just a single cable connected to your PC. It can also act as a bonafide hub, supporting…

as my primary photo and video editing system. That decision is what introduced me to the one very strange downgrade the M1 Mac Mini received, compared with its Intel-powered predecessor: its reduced Thunderbolt display outputs.  Previous-gen, Intel-based Mac Minis could support two Thunderbolt external displays. Thunderbolt is a display protocol that uses a special class of USB-C cables to deliver a video signal, and sometimes power, to an external display. It's been a big selling point for Apple's MacBooks and Mac…
