Hi people, just got a few question about buying a new MBP.
I'm looking at the 17 inch MBP with 4GB of RAM and the base HD.
Basically, I need to know whether I can use the Thunderbolt port on the MBP to input an Xbox signal. I'm not looking to record it, just to show it. This is because my current TV is really boxy and it obscures my Kinect viewfield.
I'm mainly buying it for school and university work, videos and music and a bit of gaming. I was on the Apple Store UK site and used the chat thing to ask this question, and they said that I could in fact connect my console to my MBP through the Thunderbolt port. I asked what cables I would need, but my Wifi crapped out on me and I lost connection before I could get an answer. I asked a few friends who know a lot more about this than me and they said the MBP has no video input. I'm a bit lost now.
I have a i3 iMac 21.5 inch, and I use that for my game recording, but the passthrough lag makes using it as a display totally impractical, and obviously because its a 21.5 inch there's no video input on it.
Would greatly appreciate a response as I'm trying to buy it on 0% finance, which runs out next week. Thanks!
