Yes it was. You plug the TB3 to TB2 adapter into the TB3 port on your TB3 device, then use a TB cable to plug into the adapter.

So nice to see someone from waiting for skylake... LOL

Unfortunately that was scrapped in midway
its much sadder considering the wolfe had so much potential

Akitio's solution has an MSRP of $299. I don't think that's too bad considering their track record.

This actually seems very interesting. Since TB3 is such a big thing on the new 15" MacBook Pro, being able to use external graphics would go a long way to being able to bypass the limitations of a low TDP discrete GPU on a laptop when needed. Could also make VR viable on the Mac.

but will we really buy it
seeing along the same time Gigabyte Asus will be coming out with their own solutions.
I wish Alienware switched their egpu to proprietary USB-C standard. Their egpu offers the least loss in terms of performance loss as compared to Desktop performance and retails for only 200$
