Apple Dongle For Macbook Pro
Now, since recently getting a new Macbook, which required a USB to USB-C adapter I am having major latency and distortion issues. I will be trying Amazon's direct USB to USB-C cable to replace the dongle that Mac. Dongle thread for the new Macbook Pro's. But its not made for the new MBP (underpowered). So, since I dont need the hub immediately (will connect via USB adapter), I will wait til new products are out (and tested). 2nd USB-C Port with a CalDigit USB-C to HDMI Converter for the 2nd Samsung 4K monitor on 4K @ 30Hz via HDMI.
Click to expand.If a Thunderbolt or USB-C dock has a HDMI port then it's probably only HDMI 1.4. Only a Thunderbolt dock can have DisplayPort 1.2 (4K 60Hz). (A USB-C dock could support 4K 60Hz only if it only supported USB 2.0 and not USB 3.0). Therefore, either a Thunderbolt 3 dock or a Thunderbolt 2 dock should work (if it has DisplayPort). Since the MacBook Pro 2017 supports Thunderbolt 3, then a Thunderbolt 3 dock would be better (it can support two 4K 60 Hz displays or one 5K 60Hz display - a Thunderbolt 2 dock can only support one 4K 60Hz display or two 2560x1600 60Hz displays with an additional adapter).
The name of the cable is confusing, because it could be mistaken for micro USB (see section just above). But if you check the, you can see a clear shot of the micro B SuperSpeed connector on the cable, which is quite different from micro USB. StarTech sells the cable in black; if you really want a white cable, you’ll need to shell out $30 for at the Apple Store. How to connect an iPhone or iPad If you are still using the USB-A to Lightning (or 30-pin, if you’re using an older iOS device) cable that came with your device, you can get the mentioned above in the USB-A section. Don’t want an adapter? Buy a $19 from Apple.
Steve Kovach/Business Insider So here it is, the future of the MacBook Pro, and it's full of adapters. The new MacBook Pros exclusively feature USB-C ports, which means your old USB accessories and peripherals wont plug into the new MacBook Pro without an adapter. We're not particularly fond of adapters.
Now i need to get caught up with the USB C/ thunderbolt 3 crowd. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have a logitech Anywhere MX mouse that I like but that uses a USB A which obviously wont work anymore without some sort of dongle. ~ordered a 2 pack of usb C to A for $10 on amazon to help me get. Also ordered the sandisk dual USB (has both usb A and C) which I thought was pretty cool. But I have an HDMI that I use to connect to my TV, other usb flash drives that are now currently unusable. Im hoping that there are some quality dongles (that dont bottleneck) that I havent found that arent $50-$120 that maybe somebody could lead me to?
If you are using your MagSafe adapter in a poorly ventilated area such as on a couch, in thick carpeting, on bedding, or a pillow, or if the MagSafe adapter is covered by a blanket or other form of insulation, it may turn itself off in order to prevent damage to the adapter. The adapter may still be quite warm in this state and should be allowed to cool before handling. • Check for possible AC plug (also known as a 'duck head') or two- or three-pronged AC cord issues. If you're using the AC plug (also known as a 'duck head') with the power adapter, swap it out for the included two- or three-pronged AC cord, or if you are using the two- or three-pronged AC cord swap it out with the AC plug. Either connector can be easily connected the adapter as shown below.

Strain relief is a condition where the DC cable (the thin cord that attaches the MagSafe connector to the power adapter) separates from the end of the MagSafe connector or from the other end of the thin cord, at the power adapter. Under continued use, the cable may discolor and the rubber molding may become deformed.
Simply put, the number of people buying iPhones vastly outnumbers the number of customers who purchase new Macs. Switching to USB-C on the Mac, while admittedly painful for many users, is a simpler change to make, because Apple sells far fewer Macs than it does iPhones. If Apple were to switch the default cable and wall adapter in the iPhone box to a Lightning to USB-C cable, users would be outraged, because they wouldn't be able to use the cable with their existing computers, wall adapters, car adapters and other accessories that rely on the full-size USB port. The outcry from such a change would be far louder than current complaints about USB-C on the latest MacBooks. It's for similar reasons that Apple can't switch from Lightning to USB-C on the iPhone or iPad themselves —an entire ecosystem has been built up around iOS devices, of which Apple will sell nearly 100 million this quarter. Lightning may very well prove to be the last input port on Apple's iOS devices, before it is replaced by wireless connectivity and contact charging and accessories, like the Smart Connector on the iPad Pro.
