OWC thinks it has the solution to the MacBook Pro's lack of ports
Other World Computing (OWC) has always been one of the more reliable after market solutions providers for Macs and they're meeting the new MacBook Pros lack of ports head on with what looks to be an aluminum base that adds some of the missing ports (i.e. SD card Slot, HDMI-out, USB 3.0 and Thunderbolt are the likely ports in question). The base, which snaps to the bottom of the MacBook Pro, does add substantial thickness and weight (enough to make Apple engineers squirm), but should sate the need for more traditional I/O for pros. It's either this or dongles, people.
