Apple Thunderbolt Display

The $999 price is a lot to pay for a monitor, but Apple's upcoming Thunderbolt Display is possibly the ultimate MacBook Air peripheral. The 27-inch display connects via Thunderbolt and not only conveys audio and video, but also has three USB 2.0 ports, a FireWire 800 port, and a Gigabit Ethernet port, all of which send their data back to the MacBook Air via that one Thunderbolt cable. An HD Webcam in the monitor will work with FaceTime videoconferencing, too. You could also just get a cheaper monitor and use Mini DisplayPort or HDMI converter cables, but for an all-in-one dock solution it's hard to beat this executive combo.
