New 24" LED For Macbooks

When is this thing coming out? It looks amazing. Anyone gonna buy it? I always said what a concept a MADE FOR the MACBOOK monitor would be...at 899- student discount I hope for 799?? Who's in?

 

I would expect sometime this month, I don't believe Apple would like to let it go after the holiday season. I think its great as well, unfortunately its way out of my budget .

 

it is too good, unlike the older Cinema Displays which were definitely not designed extremely well form notebooks (cord length!!!!) this one is tailor made, and in fact will only work with 2 computers right now, both notebooks ^_^

 

Is it gonna work with our macbook pros?? or do we need some display adapter?

 

It will work with new Mac notebooks, you will need an adapter for the old ones. I'm not sure if the Cinema Display comes with it...

 

I heard that there is no adapter?? Sounds like were out of luck?

 

there isn't even a display available yet either. give it time

 

True...We'll have to see.

 

This will be interesting. As it looks, it appears it ONLY works with the new MacBook Air, MacBook and MacBook Pro because the only (apparent) connector is the mini DisplayPort.

I'm trying to get my hands on one day 1, so I'll be sure to put up a full review, and comparisons against the "current" 23" Cinema Display, and whether it works with older hardware (Mac Mini included...).

 

Hmm... in the UK, when I last went to the Apple store(last Friday, I believe), the Macbook display monitors were... on display . There was a new MacBook Pro hooked up to it.
EMZ=]

 

I see the 3 cable system they have is not going to be able to deal with the corporate world, but I can see some consumers purchasing this.

Hopefully someday Apple will design their notebooks to run well closed.

 

Apple told me they will start shipping sometimes this week. They will start receiving the units in Apple stores in US. Indeed, the demo units are out for a couple weeks, but no units for sale right now.

It's really expensive at 900$ (even 800$ as a student), but I set my mind on it and now I have to get it. I see it as at least 2-300$ over other very good 24" displays, but I hope I will see some difference at colors and image quality.

 

But I keep hearing it WONT work with anything but the NEW Macbooks that just came out. That's annoying.

 

well everyone telling you that has absolutely no idea, so I wouldn't worry about it.

all they would have to do to make it compatible is include or offer some type of Mini Display Port to DVI adapter, basically the reverse of what they already offer.

 

Yeah, the unfortunate thing is its quite expensive, out of reach for most consumers. Design professionals will love it for sure though!

 

I'm going to hazard a guess that we'll see more displays coming soon... hopefully something will have a DVI connector, or an adapter in the box.

I will be in the same boat though if I can't use one of their new monitors on my 8 month old Mac Pro. I am not going to pay extra for an adapter.

 

Yeah, a new adapter :-(
