A new report claims that Apple’s supply chain will begin shipments of new MacBook Air models upgraded to include Intel’s Sandy Bridge processors and Thunderbolt high-speed interconnect later this month in preparation for a June or July launch.

You can chain up to six Thunderbolt devices. That’s not a problem today as we’re not even aware of six products that support Thunderbolt yet. But if the connection becomes widespread, the six device limit might be a problem for some people. In comparison, FireWire supports 63 devices and USB supports up to 127 devices.

Bah, ça n'est pas une limitation, Apple vendra à ce moment là une extension bien pratique et hors de prix pour contourner cette limitation complètement artificielle.
