The new MacBook Pros are the first to include Intel's new I/O hardware connector called Thunderbolt, a new cable system that unifies the way that devices like smartphones, hard drives and other accessories interface with computers. The technology boosts the speed and responsiveness of media files along a single wire, and Intel claims it can transfer a full HD movie in less than 30 seconds.
