Thunderbolt w/WIN10

Ok, I'm gonna take one for the team.  I just purchased a Thunderbolt Win 10 Laptop and an Resident Audio "Thunderbolt" interface.  I have X3, and considering the upgrades, like I have been for the last 25 Years (Yeah, I'm a Twelve Tone Kid). I have always gotten my Cakewalk items to set up so that I can hit one key and start recording. But each iteration seemingly branches out into uncharted territory,  Now it's web sessions, while on the road, live and everything recorded.  So everybody steps up, designers, testers, validators, users feeding back...  and we keep doing it.  So I will report my endeavors.  I have a home studio, but never there, so this is part of my quest is to achieve a fully functional studio in a anvil attaché case.  By the way if anybody already tried this and it didn't work, please let me know, because I'm not shy about returning anything.
 
So for starters, here is the considerably well thought out hardware lineup:
  1. Asus Zenbook Pro - UX501VW DS71T
  2. Resident Audio - T4
  3. Sonar Producer - X3
  4. Keith McMillen Instruments K-Board USB Keyboard - Smart K-Board
  5. Fishman Triple Play Wireless MIDI
  6. Sure - SM58
  7. Sennheiser - e614

    Unless you have PCIe via Thunderbolt drivers, you won't see any advantage to using Thunderbolt.
    IOW, Running Firewire protocol over Thunderbolt offers no performance advantage...

    Regarding the Resident Audio - T4, T2 the prices have dropped at least half.  The spells "red flag" to me.
