Thunderbolt
Current Apple laptops (for better or worse) now include Intel’s Thunderbolt (Light Peak) connection. There are no Thunderbolt devices in the real world yet, so there is little useful info on how functional this early generation of Thunderbolt will be. You probably won’t see Thunderbolt on PC laptops until at least the end year, if not later. I have a suspicion that they are holding out for the 2nd generation of Thunderbolt, or at least letting Apple be the guinea pig. Early implementations of PCIe on both desktops and laptops were a mess, and took over year (and multiple design generations) to get the kinks worked out.

Any other features of the laptop are just icing on the cake, and should not take precedence over these primary considerations.

Hello,

Of course.
I would prefer you said you will investigate this solution as soon as the product will be available, and post the results and advices here to make the sonnet adapter work (or not) with RME ExpressCard.

I own a new MacBookPro 15" with 8GB RAM, i7 2.3 GHz. I don't think it is an entry level laptop.
17" is too big for me to be used on the road.

I really like RME products (pristine sound quality, best quality drivers, solid built, ...)
I own three different of them, and I will be really embarrassed if I have to buy another audio interface.

Best Regards,

and this ?

actually the list of the compatible product with the sonnet tech has been updated recently:

AJA io Express
Magma ExpressBox
Prism Sound ADA-8XR
Prism Sound Orpheus

from this, the point saying:

"No one can test a product that is not yet available" Daniel Fuchs (rme support)

are you sure,as apparently three company had test the product and sonnet list them as compatible...

from this,the point saying:

"This product has not been released, it is NOT yet available."Matthias Carstens (forum administrator)

do you think MAGMA,AJA,or PRISM SOUND gave this kind of answer to theyre customers...seriously?

please never forget that all the interest on this product come from you "CUSTOMER" who are, more than all ,interested to keep working with YOUR product..
so, please if you have no idea what to answer,at least try to gave us a more positive form in your answer.
or maybe let chris ludwig answering us,at least he gave us a theorical answer:

"Hi Kiniko,
In theory it should work fine but I'm sure no one has been able to test this device yet.

at this point my question is:

"can we (customer) imagine that you in RME are considering seriously this product that could bring a important compatibility with your product..?

thx for your understanding,
regards,
kiniko,

ps: sorry for my broken english.

Apparently it's on shipping...

Quick! Someone test this so that when I need to replace my MBP and THEN get a TB enabled MBP and then need to use the MF/RPM with the new MBP that I know this thing works. You have at least a year...

TB should not add any measurable, much less audible latency.... Whatever it might be, it will be far, far below anything that AD converters or your DAW mixer will bring about...
