[QUOTE="Dysfunction, post: 1371714, member: 51052"] Potentially, but this is not the first time I've heard reports of it NOT working with a non-thunderbolt model as a display. Even the minimum requirements state 'Thunderbolt-enabled Mac computer, including MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, Mac mini, and iMac' For all I know, it's input may very well not be mdp standards, but an extension of the pcie bus.. in which case, it would not work.. at all :) Aha! found an anandtech post that mentions that while it does carry displayport data, it's muxed in. So yep, don't think it'll work. [/QUOTE]
