So it's been a year, wondering if OWC has abandoned this project? I can understand them being a bit shy in promising anything to do with Thunderbolt 3, especially with all the flack they got with testing delays with their first TB3 dock. My 2011 17" MBP is getting a bit long in tooth, I doubt Apple is going to change directions with their "pro" macbooks because they are too "courageous" with making their designs more form than function, but unless the DEC becomes a reality in the coming months, I may end up going with a professional windows based laptop that addresses my needs better.
