In search of "the ultimate docking station" for your Mac notebook? Look no further than the new Thunderbolt Display, a single 27-inch model packing a 2560 x 1440 res 16:9 IPS display, one of Apple's fancy new connectors, integrated 2.1 speaker system, and even a Firewire 800 slot.
There's also a built-in FaceTime HD camera and Mic, Gigabit Ethernet, three USB 2.0 ports and MagSafe charging for your laptop, but the big difference is that single speedy DisplayPort hookup. It can daisy chain up to six high speed devices and all those connectors mean when it's time to take your laptop on the go there's a minimum of cables mooring it to your desk.
These new features turn the display into more than just a monitor. The Apple Thunderbolt Display is a docking station of sorts thanks to the high-speed, 10Gbps Thunderbolt port that feeds all the interconnects on the new monitor. Just plug in a Thunderbolt MacBook Pro, MacBook Air or Mac Mini and the display becomes a full extension of the computer, adding functionality and ports.
A bigger display for your biggest ideas.
Connect your Mac with Mini DisplayPort to the LED Cinema Display for a panoramic viewing experience unlike any other.

You can connect your LED Cinema Display to any of the current lineup of Mac notebooks and desktops: MacBook, MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, iMac, Mac mini, and Mac Pro.
Built-in conveniences.
With a built-in iSight camera, microphone, 2.1 speaker system, and USB hub, the LED Cinema Display keeps your desktop clutter free. Have video conferences with your notebook closed. Listen to music without headphones. And leave your USB peripherals connected to the display for quick get-up-and-go productivity.

The LED advantage.
LEDs are solid-state light sources that are an ideal complement to digital LCDs. They light up quickly, which means you experience full-screen brightness the moment you connect your LED Cinema Display to your system. And LEDs are completely mercury-free.
MagSafe connector
The LED Cinema Display is the perfect companion for your Mac notebook because it includes a convenient universal MagSafe connector that powers and charges your Mac when you’re at your home, office, or dorm. You can leave your notebook power adapter in your bag, ready to hit the road.
Connect via Mini DisplayPort.
The LED Cinema Display attaches to your Mac using the industry-standard Mini DisplayPort connector. Other display connectors have you lining up pins or fumbling with screws. The Mini DisplayPort connector is easy in, easy out.
