I can tell you for absolute certainty that it does output power. I’m using the 2->3 adapter with the FireWire dongle and then connecting a FireWire cable to a M Audio FireWire audio interface (that is bus powered) and it indeed works! Double dongle, lol. As to your question about the NVME adapter, I don’t think it has anything to do with power. If you really wanted to you could open up the adapter and probe around and see if the chip is getting power, which it probably is! Does nothing at all show up in system profiler under thunderbolt devices when it is connected? As someone above states, thunderbolt spec is closed and proprietary, and there is a lot that we don’t know about 1 and 2 -> 3 (or 4) conversion. On a PC it’s rare to get any thunderbolt 1 or 2 devices working with a 3/4 host, regardless of the adapter. The devices just simply don’t show up.

No 4G in australia on the LTE model?

Hey -- I have a few questions.

1.) What interface is the SSD? Is it's PCIe or SATA? If PCIe, is it PCIe 1.0 or 2.0? If SATA, is it SATA 3gbps or SATA 6gbps?

2.) Do you see any way of upgrading the RAM to 8gb...even if you get a professional to carefully solder it in? Would you guys consider doing it for a price? I ordered the 11" i7 with 4GB ram and 128GB SSD.

Let me know, thank you for your wonderful site!
