In an article about problems with Apple Thunderbolt Display I was referring to supporting documentwhich Apple posted in connection with this display. In the document, in addition to the facts about the use of the display, there is also a table in which the number of displays that can be connected to individual computers from the product line is listed Apple. The table shows that MacBook Pro (Early 2011), iMac (Mid and Late 2011), and Mac mini (Mid 2011) computers can connect a pair of Thunderbolt displays. At first glance, there is nothing special about it, except for a computer Apple iMac Late 2011 Existed! He realized that too Apple and after a few tens of minutes of publication, he replaced the original table with a new one, which no longer contains information about iMac Late 2011. Apple Of course said the computer, which he refers to as iMac Late 2011, but this is a model intended only for educational institutions and, in particular, a model that does not contain a Thunderbolt display. It is therefore not possible to connect a single monitor to it Apple Thunderbolt Display.
iMac Late 2011?
There are two explanations for the whole situation. Be someone u Apple did not realize that this model called by internal labeling Apple the Late 2011 model does not include a Thunderbolt port, or the new iMac computer that will be released later this year is coming. In any case, it's an interesting situation, and after the last three "negative" articles I've written about the Thunderbolt port, I have to wonder if the Thunderbolt port wasn't Apple damn debt?
