Missed the last bunch, tonight it let me place my order! Shipping in 2 weeks. TS5 Plus (1.0m) - Thunderbolt Station 5 Plus (Space Black) – CalDigit US Shop
Same here, I got my order in yesterday too, I’m very excited to get 10GbE on my Mac and clear some other charging bricks off my desk. They still appear to be available.
Plus it matches my MBP
Last time I filled out the notify me when they become available. That never happened so I resorted to putting a link on my phone screen and checking every day or so. I still am using a loaded M1 MBP so I don’t need the updated Thunderbolt yet. I consider this to be future proofing for when I buy my M6 machine.
Same! I was on the notification list and missed the first batch. It’s definitely overkill. I have the MacBook to support it but all my accessories are a mismatch of Thunderbolt versions. External storage uses TB4 and I have Studio Displays using TB3. Other than the Mac I don’t own any TB5 devices, so that part doesn’t benefit me.
You’re plotting for M6 already? I think I saw a rumor of a design refresh for the MBP with M5 this year.
M6 is a guess. At the time I got my M1 Pro-Max, I loaded it up with 64g Ram and 4TB storage. The most demanding thing I do is light video editing of webinar and trading sessions with clients. Compared to my Intel MBP this thing is so fast that I can’t justify spending the money to upgrade. I’m assuming that by the time the M6 rolls around there will be some AI related “must have” applications that will require more horsepower. In the meantime I’m good.
