Is Apple’s new Thunderbolt connection worth the money spent?

Apple’s new Thunderbolt connection for MacBook Pro and, soon to be launched MacBook Air has been released. The connection is costly and is priced at $49, but it is very fast.

The connection will make bi-directional transfer between the user’s laptop and peripheral devices very fast. A 10Gbps bi-directional link will make big data transfers possible in the least amount of time.

The Thunderbolt will require well-suited hardware and a cable. The price tag of the device, however, may be a reason for many customers’ dissatisfaction.

The cost, however, may drop in the future when the cable components will get refined and there is a mass production, the Geek reported.
