Is this compatible with Thunderbolt 3?

Yes.

So could I daisy chain this drive with a Thunderbolt drive?

As long as this is on the end of the chain, sure.

"Seem to"? Or they do? What does the actual data say?

Someone surely must have it somewhere -- I am surprised that AI didn't ask the company for a comment.

We did.

The data I have suggests that the average genius bar appointment starts 14 minutes late. The data also suggests that major markets like DC Metro, NYC, London and so forth have much longer waits on the average.

None of the Retina Macs support Target Display Mode. There's software you can use, but the practicality of that depends on what you're doing.

The LG Ultrafine 5K uses the same panel as the iMac does, so I'm not sure about "high ppi and gloss" statement. Alternatively, if you have an old one kicking around you can do a hardware mod on it.

It doesn’t really make sense to say that MBA users generally won’t be using apps that need active cooling and then also complain that the MBA doesn’t support multiple external monitors. Being able to handle a 6K 32 inch external seems fine for something claimed to be for non-demanding apps.

In our speaking with enterprise, an incredibly common administrative setup with MBA users is a Thunderbolt or USB 3.2 Type C dock at a workstation with a pair of 1080p displays, a keyboard, and sometimes a wired network.

There is notably less 8K video handling with this segment, meaning none.

Suggestion: include the IT department context in the articles. My own experience with corporate IT is that they typically prefer to buy refurbs or models from the previous year in order to save $$. 

As a general rule, when I say "enterprise," it's folks with big contracts with Apple like Deloitte, IBM, Disney, and the like. I do agree that where you are on the enterprise "scale" per se changes up what gets bought and when.

As a general rule, these folks that we get to speak to will replace a certain percentage of their hardware per year, like clockwork, so it's all swapped out over as low as two years for some computational-heavy departments and as many as six for others on a bell-curve, where the average seems to be about 3.5 years. Sometimes that gear that's swapped out on a two-year cycle is sent back to the gear pool, and sometimes it isn't, depending on department compartmentalization and other factors.

So, the folks that are looking at the M2 MBA probably last had Intel, and with those Thunderbolt or USB-C docks could support multiple externals on their last Intel MBA, and now can't.

There are enormous tax benefits for depreciation of new gear for big business. Just huge.
