The same or similar story, if not the same story.
Oh, no, similar story with the two Thunderbolt five ports up to 120 gigs a second, gigabits per second.
One is for the host, which allows up to 140 watt charging up from 96 on the non XDR version.
And then again, you can the other one is for downstream with additional daisy chaining possible.
And then this, of course, also has an A19 Pro as per Mac rumors.
Also, there's a day one software update, which is kind of funny.
And then there was a big question from me about what is the story with regard to Mac support?
Because they had said, oh, it's a Thunderbolt 5 port.
So I think we had talked about at some point in the past, well, is there enough bandwidth in any flavor of Thunderbolt to do 120 hertz at 5K?
And I honestly don't remember what we concluded.
I think we thought that there was, but only just 5K.
So I had read, I was nervous at first because I'm kind of lusting after this thing.
I was nervous that my lowly M3 Macs wouldn't be supported because it's only Thunderbolt 4, not Thunderbolt 5.
And I had assumed initially that, oh, you're going to need Thunderbolt 5 to support 120 hertz.
As it turns out, that's incorrect.
There is some information about what Macs are supported.
