Still says "dual 4k".

I give it at least 3 more years to reach mainstream.
Every one of my laptops going back to 2015 have Thunderbolt. It seems pretty mainstream.
Unless you're defining "mainstream" as "cheap."

No, no, no. I mean, everybody can afford $2k for a laptop and laptops is all there is, right?
And yes for Thunderbolt laptops and small form factor like NUC is all there is. Yes, you can get TB adapters for desktop motherboards, but for the most part anything you would use Thunderbolt for, you'd just plug into a PCIe slot on a desktop.
