Steve de MenaTo a large extent this is merely an 'Apple got rid of the floppy drive and now I have to buy an external one' sort of situation, however. Given a year or two, there will likely be native Thunderbolt pro audio interfaces, etc. A lot of this stuff is already there in the pro video world, where it seems like Thunderbolt uptake has been faster. In general, the native Thunderbolt devices are a lot smaller than a PCIe card in an external TB enclosure, and some of them are also bus powered.
Should I only apply criteria that apply to all users? I'm a Pro user that this machine is targeted for. Audio professionals, especially Pro Tools users, generally use one or more PCIe slots.
