MacBook Pro 13" Retina with Pro Tools 11 and Digi 003

[Pro Tooley]

Hi all,

I need to buy a new MacBook Pro and currently looking at one of the 13" Retina models.
My interface is the firewire Digi 003 control surface.

I noticed in the Pro Tools 11 system requirements that "The 13-inch Retina MacBook Pro may have performance problems and is not recommended for Pro Tools with FireWire interfaces."

It seems to refer to the late 2012 MacBook Pro 13 Retina model only.

Does anyone know if the newer 13" Retina MacBooks work ok with FireWire devices or does anyone have any experience of using FireWire interfaces such as the Digi 003 with these MacBooks? If so, have you had any issues?

I'd be grateful for any feedback you could give me.

If you're using another MacBook Pro Retina model with the Digi 003 I'd also like to know how you find working with the Thunderbolt to FireWire adapter and if it gives you any performance issues.

Many Thanks
