Leave it to Apple to come up with a way to force owners of laptops with built in monitors to buy external monitors.
I'm curious to see how this plays out.
As mentioned in the OWC blog post they have a device, intended for use on Mac minis running
headless that
may fool the system into believing there is a Thunderbolt monitor attached. If it works you know we will all hear about it.
And before. you go blaming Apple for this quirk in Thunderbolt, remember Intel is the developer behind both USB and Thunderbolt. Apple is an
early adopter of the technology and sits on the standards committee, but Intel is unquestionably the driver.
