- It is for connecting a computer to, for instance, the Apple Thunderbolt Display. But the computer must have Thunderbolt 3 for it to be of use - which the 12" Retina MacBook does dot.Thx all.
What is this adapter used for then? if it can not be used to connect a PC or a macbook to a thunderbolt display
- Incorrect. The Apple Thunderbolt Display will only accept a Thunderbolt connection. No matter how you slice it, you cannot convert an HDMI or DisplayPort signal to a Thunderbolt signal.To connect to the Thunderbolt Display you would need:
USB C digital AV adaptor
Active HDMI to display port
DisplayPort cable
This should give you video.
