    Someone had gotten a thunderbolt e-gpu working with their macbook air, so getting it to work on a 13inch macbook pro should work fine.

    If it works on mine too, it'll probably 100% work fine with yours.
    Theres been some leak that 13 inch is exactally the same, even with the same number of ports but with an incredible new battery

    Yeah you might wait to see what it is :)

    Best case senario would be a quad core ivy bridge with intel hd4000; this would literally be the perfect laptop for external graphics cards.
