1.3.3 ASUS Exclusive Features
Thunderbolt Technology Onboard
An industry first, ASUS has placed Thunderbolt I/O technology onboard, and are set to
revolutionize the speed at which peripherals and displays operate. Featuring a maximum
bi-directional speed of 10 Gbps, Thunderbolt is 2 times faster than USB 3.0 and an incredible
20 times faster than USB 2.0. And with the ability to daisy-chain up to six devices without the
need for a hub or switch, that means less overheard for a clutter free computing experience.
For example, users can connect multiple native Thunderbolt storage devices, an HD video
capture device and even an HD display to a single Thunderbolt chain while maintaining
maximum throughput. You can also connect a DisplayPort, DVI, HDMI or VGA display with an
existing adapter.
