Mac gaming, long a stepchild, has been on a modest rebound lately, especially with Steam support for the platform. A Deus Ex port, even six months after the fact, would be one of the fastest port jobs in recent memory. Feral Interactive will be handling the job.

Thunderbolt is an external PCI-Express port, and one of the peripherals available is an external Graphics card bay so you actually CAN upgrade the graphics on a mac laptop externally, which no PC laptop can currently do.

Monday, September 19, 2011 at 12:24 PMWow so now I can have a big chunky graphics card sticking out of the side of my laptop…I wonder why windows based laptops don’t have such a feature…hmmm….

Monday, September 19, 2011 at 3:02 PMActually, I would be very surprised that Apple would let you upgrade your graphics card, as they tightly control the hardware that OSX runs on.
Oh, and the Sony Vaio Z has an external GPU solution.

I personally like the idea, but I think I even read somewhere the thunderbolt still doesn’t give the same bandwidth as PCI-E either.

Sunday, September 18, 2011 at 12:33 AMhaha what a joke. Almost as funny as linux gamers. This is good though, might give OpenGL a bit of a push for a comeback; its never good for one side (MS/DirectX) to get too much power/dominance.
