Not only that, but once you buy it and take it out the store, you can't upgrade it anymore. The HD is proprietary so you can't upgrade it on your own, the memory is soldered in so you can't upgrade it either, and there's no line in incase you're on the road and wanna do a quick recording. Also, only 2 USB ports sucks!

i think the point isa that thunderbolt makes USB redundant. YOu can buy a hub with a bunch of USB 3 outputs in August, and a ethernet port and display.

Yes, for home it's fine, but on the road I want to eliminate all the clutter. I know when I'm playing out the last think I wanna do is use a hub. I wanna use the least number of cables possible. After all, aren't laptops meant to be mobile?

Do they make a Thunderbolt drive with 7200 rpm? I only ever see 5400.

i have 6 SSD's in RAID 0 via thunderbolt. Drivers have nothing to do with the actual protocol. It is an external version of pciex. There is thunderbolt to firewire 400 , 800 USB 3 and you have 2 thunderbolt making it about 20 times more expandable than usb.

Thunderbolt peripherals are expensive, but then if you can afford a Macbook...

No line ins means they can sell more Apogge units.

USB 2 audio card users BEWARE!!!!!!

many traktor kontrol s users flagging an incompatibility of the hardware with the new MacBooks with USB3. It simply crackles all the time.

NI doesn't seem to be able to fix the driver issue, and they've got their hands full of it.

I guess other manufacturers using the same chipsets are having similar issues, so better keep an eye on it!

hmmm....interesting. Another reason for me to stay away from mac.

Though to be fair, I've had my share of S4 driver issues with USB2 on pc.

issues are cross-platform and mostly usb-chipset related. the S4 gives the same issues on a recent pc with usb 3.

The Komplete audio 6 works apparently like a charm

anything that sports usb3 ports. I will have to try it out with a hub in the middle too whenever possible, as I have no buying plans before a long time.
