    Can I use my 2013 MacBook Pro power extension cable for my 2017 MacBook Pro?

    My late-2013 MacBook Pro that uses the 85W MagSafe 2 power adapter comes with a power adapter extension cable. However my 2017 MacBook Pro doesn't have the extension cable for 87W USB-C power adapter, just the electrical plughead. Are there any issues if I use the 85W MagSafe 2 power adapter...

    USB-C to HDMI 2.0a for HDR out

    Has anyone here come across a USB-C to HDMI 2.0a dongle? Specifically HDMI 2.0 'a' in order to support HDR10 metadata to a compatible TV. If so, any success with HDR out from Bootcamp? I'd imagine HDMI 2.0a metadata may get macOS support now that Final Cut Pro X 10.4 has been updated with...

    External USB-C drive that's also a Hub

    CalDigit's AV Pro 2 apparently also acts as a USB 3 hub, which is pretty handy considering I have a 2016 rMBP. Are there any other drives out there that do this? I'm in the market for a Time Machine backup drive and I'd love to know what my options are. Thanks in advance!

    2016 Macbook Pro Monitor Suggestion

    Since I've purchased my 2016 15" MBP refurbished back in May, I have been looking to pair with a monitor for my main desk at home. There seems to be very little in terms of new monitors with USB-C/Thunderbolt3 capability that will work well with TouchBar MBPs. A little about my uses: I work...

    MBP 2017 TP: Dead USB-C port

    One of my USB-C ports appears to be "dead". The left front one no longer works. Devices I plug into it are not recognized, and it will not even charge via the port. After an SMC reset, it came back briefly, but only to turn itself "off" shortly after. A simple reboot will not bring it back. I...
