What Reviewers Agree On
- Thunderbolt 5 replaces Thunderbolt 3/USB-C — meaningfully improves external device bandwidth and future-proofing
- Improved audio with A19-enhanced processing is noticeably better than 2022 model
- Same $1,599 price as 2022 launch — fair value for the Thunderbolt 5 upgrade alone
- Still the best-sounding display at this price for Mac users
Deal Breakers
- Still 60Hz — no ProMotion
- No HDR — 600 nits sustained brightness
- 4-year-old panel technology (same resolution, same LCD type)
