Apple’s Thunderbolt cables aren’t something we usually recommend because they’re just so expensive, but they’re hard to pass up when they’re on sale. Target has Apple’s 1m Thunderbolt 4 cable down to $35 right now, which is a 50 percent discount and the lowest price we’ve ever seen.
We know, we know—the newest MacBook Pro models support Thunderbolt 5. So why are we recommending Thunderbolt 4 cables? Well, because there just aren’t many accessories that support Thunderbolt 5, and the ones that are out are entirely too expensive. Plus Thunderbolt 4 is no slouch: Not only will this cable allow you to transfer data at up to 40GB/s, but it will also allow you to connect your laptop to a 4K display. Of course, there’s also the fact that you’ll be able to charge your laptop or other devices with up to 100W of power.
This cable is a 1m (3-foot) braided cable that is well-made and that will coil neatly without tangling. At $35, it’s comparable to other Thunderbolt 4 cables from Satechi and OWC, and we wholeheartedly recommend it at this price. So get your own Apple Thunderbolt 4 cable for half-off at Target sooner rather than later because you can’t know how long it’s going to be on sale.
