The Notebook Review forums were hosted by TechTarget, who shut down them down on January 31, 2022. This static read-only archive was pulled by NBR forum users between January 20 and January 31, 2022, in an effort to make sure that the valuable technical information that had been posted on the forums is preserved. For current discussions, many NBR forum users moved over to NotebookTalk.net after the shutdown.

Tx. I love the machine without it. Being able to use to would be icing on the cake.

There still isn't much out there. Apple's new Cinema Display incorporates ThunderBolt, there is a RAID device out but it costs just as much as a well configured MBP, and that is about it. There are other external HDD/SSD storage accessories coming out and there are/will be option to add external GPUs though I don't know if they would actually work with Macs.

Just keep in mind that, right now, everything is expensive due to the still new age of ThunderBolt. Accessories won't start coming down in price until other companies begin using it.
