i've tried thunderbolt monitor on dell xps 13 sputnik , macbookair4,2. both attempts complete failures. i've encountered high cpu usage issues mentioned other places. monitor not hot pluggable using ubuntu, had reboot each time plugged in monitor. i've tried "fix" find , tried using raring 3.8.4 kernel no avail. go 27" cinema display, same , works fine every machine have (desktop, laptop, mac, windows, linux). desktop has radeon hd 7870 card dual mini display port works fine (even though drivers iffy - go betas)
