I have 2 MacBook Pros 17" & 15" Retina and one beautiful Thunderbolt display.

Too use the Display between laptops, I must unplug one Laptop and plug in the other. Does anyone know of a Thunderbolt switch box? like we had in the old VGA days?

Thank You for the help.

Why the space and cost of a switch when you can very easily move the cable for no extra. Also the cable from the ATD has power for laptop.

Because it's not practical if you're switching regularly. If I could do something similar to Ctrl-Tab, but instead switch between computers, I'd buy it.

I don't believe anybody makes a TB switch to do what you want.
