If you’re a longtime Mac user, maybe you invested in Apple’s Thunderbolt display some years ago. You can use Apple’s Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) to Thunderbolt 2 Adapter to connect these displays to an Intel Mac. I really like how Apple is presenting Thunderbolt as “Thunderbolt / USB 4“ on its latest Macs. You see, Thunderbolt 4 finally promises PC/Windows users all the features Thunderbolt 3 has long offered Apple users. When connected to a Thunderbolt 4 host computer the Element Hub is capable of adding a monitor up to 8K resolution, or dual 4K 60Hz monitors in either extended or mirrored modes. You can connect any Thunderbolt 3, Thunderbolt 4, USB4, or USB-C devices to the Thunderbolt ports on the Element Hub.Actual display support depends upon host. Please review the display specifications for your specific host system to determine the maximum supported resolution, refresh rate, color depth, and number of external displays over Thunderbolt or USB.

The Element Hub is not only built from high quality aluminium, it also features a reversible design that allows you to utilise it on either the left or right hand side of your laptop. Up until this point, hubs have been restricted by their interface’s performance, limiting their potential. The Element Hub, in combination with the power of Thunderbolt 4, has allowed us to create the most ambitious hub on the market. If your monitor is Thunderbolt 3 or USB-C it can connect directly to the spare Thunderbolt ports on the Element Hub. Thunderbolt is a joke. I was trying to run two displays off the port on my MBA and there is just no way to do it, unless you get an external video card. The hubs come with HDMI and TB, but you can only use one. It’s an amazingly weak technology, designed mostly to fleece the “prosumer”. Yes, the Element Hub is the perfect companion for any M2, M2, Pro, M2 Max, M1, M1 Pro, or M1 Max computer.If you are using CPU or GPU intensive applications we recommend that you connect the laptop’s charger to your laptop. The power adapter that comes with the 13-inch MacBook Pro and M1 MacBook Air doesn’t have a breakaway MagSafe connector. MagSafe was a laptop lifesaver in instances wheresomeone tripped over the power cable. Apple and Intel’s Thunderbolt 2 standard has given Mac users — particularly professional Mac users — a premium, high-speed connector option for situations where bandwidth and speed are necessary: hooking up big, fast hard drives, high-resolution monitors, or even external graphics cards. The latest iMacs, Mac Pros, MacBook Pros and MacBook Airs all feature at least one Thunderbolt 2 port, a boon for expandability. any proposed solutions on the community forums.
