    Is it possible to use a thunderbolt display with a pc? I was looking on ebay for an adapter and couldn't seem to find one. The reason im asking is im trying to swap my pc with a guy who has a mac and a thunderbolt display he wants to keep the monitor and use it with my pc and if he can't the deal is off. Please help mac experts!
    Thanks in advance =]

    There was an announcement on one of the gadget sites a few days ago about this. It can be done with certain chipsets, but the display, or any other Thunderbolt accessory has to be plugged in on bootup, there's no hotswapping like Macs do.
