    Evening all,

    I have a quick question, which may be a little silly but please bear with me.

    Do the Thunderbolt ports double as Display Port as well?

    For example, on the new Retina MBP if I wanted to use the Apple VGA or DVI adapter would it just plug into one of the TB ports?

    The reason I ask is when spec'ing one up the dongles are shown but there's no actual Mini-Display Port on the Retina MBP...

    Thanks,

    tn.

    Sorry, I took it out of that thread as I thought it was a bit OT.

    Thanks for letting me know though.

    Cheers.
