Thunderbolt has benefits, but displays do not benefit. Furthermore, displayport has more features than TB for display specific features. ![]() Unless your doing something most normal consumers arnt, theres no need for thunderbolt, and it has alot of disadvantages (mostly in the cost department, and being forced into buying from 1 supplier).Ĭlick to expand.Displayport has higher bandwidth than Thunderbolt. I still think the only place thunderbolt really makes sense is for external hard drives.īut even those usually arnt fast enough to need anything more than USB3. I was trying to help the OP save a ton of cash, and not get milked by apple. and it forces you to buy apple only monitors (not sure if anyone else has thunderbolt monitors) that cost a fortune, without being much/if any better than something much cheaper. I also agree that to use it for video output is slightly crazy, theres no gain to it. Soon as USB4 is out, it ll be faster then Intel will make thunderbolt 2.0 or something, and again no one will need it (we are the 99%) because we dont have devices that require that much bandwidth. its not useless tech, and it is abit faster than USB3 atm.
