I just ordered a Thunderbolt display (MC914LL/B) and I want to know if I can daisy chain two MBP's to it (1. MBP, 13in, Retina, Late 2013; 2. MBP, 15in, Retina, Late 2013) for display purposes? I may want to switch back and forth between the two computers' displays on the Thunderbolt.
Thanks in advance!
I doubt it. The TB port on the back of the Display is a "pass-through" for other devices, such as another Display or storage, not an "In" for the Display.
Your other option is to plug the two MBPs together with TB and then try to "pass-through" to the display using the 2nd TB port -- but I can't see this working as there's no way to control which MBP is sending video.
Alternatively, you could try screen sharing, using one MBP to control the other.
Screen sharing worked for my purposes. These are the instructions: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14128?viewlocale=en_US
Only one device can send an image to the display. You can hot swap the thunderbolt cable between both the displays but it is not possible to switch between both input devices connected at the same time.
Can I connect two MBP's to one Thunderbolt display?
