    New MacBook Pro with Touchbar - Displayport / External Monitors Issue

    I just got my new MacBook Pro with Touchbar. Maxed out, souped-up. It is replacing my 2012 Retina MacBook Pro.

    USB-C splitter/adaptor with power passthrough?

    Hi all, I have a 2016 Macbook, with only one USB-C port. I'm wondering if there is an adaptor out there that allows you to use multiple USB-C devices going into your one port, but also has power passthrough - the obvious limitation being that while an adaptor is in, you cannot charge your...

    Risk of non-Apple branded power supplies

    Hello, I got this USB-C hub from Amazon for my ordered MBP. I am waiting for HooToo to answer if it will be able to handle the 61W. https://amzn.com/B01K7C53K2 Perhaps somebody can give me this answer, too, or knows of any better alternative hub. Further, I wondered what power supply you can...

    Best 24"-27" Display for Retina Macbook

    I've been doing a bit of searching on here but am coming up blank, possibly because its not a topic I've been keeping up to speed on, so its all a bit bewildering with the different resolutions available now and connectors.. 4K, 5K, HDMI, USB-C etc. I'm replacing an 11" MBA and 27" LED Cinema...

    4K/60Hz retina displays for new MBPs

    As the LG UltraFine 21" 4K display has a shipping time of 5-7 weeks and a rather high price: What 4K displays are suggested to use with the new MBPs? I've not heard of any others with USB-C/Thunderbolt 3, so I'm wondering if one should look for displays with HDMI, Thunderbolt 2 or other...

    New Apple Monitor Work with 2015 MacBook Pro?

    I have an early 2015 13' MacBook Pro and need an external monitor. The new Apple LG monitor is USB-C and the 2015 MacBook Pro is USB-B. Is there an adapter that will allow me to use the newly released LG Ultra- Fine 27" Monitor? Thanks for any help on this. I Googled it and cannot find an answer.

    If Apple removes USB/SD ports on the new MBPro

    Is the addition of USB-C to the new iMac a good reason to upgrade?

    I hate dongles next to my MacBook. USB-C extension cable?

    Yeah, yeah! USB-C is great... one cable to rule 'em all, right? But why does it have to be so damn short? All comparable USB-C dongles/hubs on the market have one common problem: a laughable cable stump! I am looking for a reliable USB-C extension data cable, male-to-female, to move the ugly...

    iPhone with USB-C?

    While Apple was one of the first producers to ship a laptop with an USB-C port (the others are slowly catching up now) the company seems to miss the trend with its mobile devices where USB-C seems to become also the new standard. In order to not loose credibility Apple should therefore also move...
