    USB Type-C versus Thunderbolt

    I have an iPad Pro (1st generation) with what appears to be a USB type-C port. Period. No other ports, which I’ve been trying to get used for for more than a year now, but that’s not my current issue. Here’s what is the issue: I simply want to know which is faster/better, my USB Type-C port or...

    Odd issues with MBPro late 2016

    I have the first generation 15" MBPro that Apple released in late 2016 (only USB-C/TB3 ports); it was an open box sale for a good price, and I needed to upgrade. I've noticed a few oddities mostly related to power management on the USB-C ports. The battery life is pretty poor. Just web/email...

    MBP USB Port stopped working-options?

    My Mid-2014 MacBook Pro Retina's right USB port stopped working. I tried the SMC reset and the NVRAM reset. It seems the only thing left to do would be to replace the logic board which is a $300ish job. I don't want to that and I'd like to keep this laptop around for longer so I'm thinking I can...

    USB 3 Ethernet Adapter Help

    Does anyone have recommendations on a good USB 3 (Type A) Ethernet Adapter that I can use with my MacBook Air 2012. Most of the ones that I have found so far require drivers which I would like to avoid. I plug my MacBook Air into an external monitor so I can't use the Thunderbolt Ethernet Adapter.
