I just purchased a UAD Apollo Twin Audio Interface that requires a Thunderbolt to connect to my Late 2011 Macbook Pro. These Macbook Pros only have 1 Thunderbolt port and I had previously been using that Thunderbolt port to connect my TV/Monitor (via HDMI to thunderbolt) to the Macbook to have 2 different screens (1 on my mac and the other much larger one on my TV Monitor).
