The +1 button is shorthand for “this is pretty cool” or “you should check this out.” Click +1 to publicly give something your stamp of approval.

Let’s see it in action, open Google.com and search “Robert Bunsen”.
You can see the +1 button between title and instant preview button.

The major difference from previous versions is in new I/O called Thunderbolt. Thunderbolt is a revolutionary new I/O which can carry up to 10Gigabits of data in a second (Nearly equals to 1GB/s).
