usb-c

I have two Macbooks. One is a 2014 Macbook Pro with USB-B connectors. The other is a 2016 Macbook Pro with Touchbar that only has USB-C type connectors. I want a flash drive that has both connectors on it. Samsung makes one that has USB-B and micro USB however I know that won't work with...

So I got my first kernel panic on my 15" 2016 MBP. I have never seen this: the event is "Sleep Wake Failure" and the stackshot reason is "Watchdog". It happened when resuming the MBP from sleep. It was asleep in clamshell mode, connected to an Asus MX27UC 4K display via USB-C. Up to now, it had...

Today I tested HP S240uj USB-C monitor in store. It was connected through USB-C to my MacBook Pro 13 2016 nTB, but it was recognized as TV, and resolution was set to native 2560x1440 but at 59Hz and signal was NTSC. On darker parts of the screen we could see noticeable jittery vertical scan...

I need to connect a classic Apple Studio Display (clear acryl-plastic case) to a new MacBook 13 (USB-C port.) I have done research on it but I had run up against a block, lack of facts. I guess I could get Apple's USB-C Digital AV Multiport Adapter relying in good faith upon the quality of...

Currently on the Apple website they list their usb-c to standard usb-a adapter to only support usb 3.1 gen 1 speeds (5mb/s). Is there any other adapters on the market that support gen 2 speeds (10mb/s) as the usb-c port on the new Macbook Pro 2016 is listed to be gen 2 compatible? Thanks.

Thunderbolt 3 / 4 / USB 4 NVMe Enclosures The best enclosures for high speed transfers (2.5GB/s+) usually have one of these 2 chipsets: Thunderbolt 3: Intel's JHL7440, e.g. Acasis TBU-401 / 405 Orico TB3-S2 USB 4: Asmedia ADM2464PD Jeyi TB-2464 Maiwo 2464 ( NewEgg / AliExpress) Satechi Pro...

I have ruined the battery on a rMBP 13" laptop in the past using an inverter while on the road before I knew better. The power coming out of those things is not good unless it is a Pure Sine Wave inverter. So now, I see Belkin has a USB-PD Certified USB-C Car Charger. Supports 5V and 9V USB-PD...

Hey guys... I'm currently in the process of moving from my 15" Late 2008 MacBook Pro to a new 13" Late 2016 MacBook Pro. Right now I have a 1TB SSD in the Late 2008 and will only have a 256GB SSD in the new 13". Since it is a non touch bar I hope I'll eventually be able to upgrade it if OWC...

I am an apple sheep, I love everything apple makes. But sometimes I need to admit that they are pretty stupid. Apple wants to go into the future with usb-c, they knew they where doing this when the iPhone 7 came out. Why didn't they make the 7 with an usb-c port? They didn't do that because...

Could someone please explain to me what a USB-C port is about and why it is apparently preferable to a regular USB port? Please type slowly because I know next to nothing about this.

Got my new MBP 15" and love it. Its easily the best computer I've ever owned (and thats saying something coming from a 2012 MBP retina which was no slouch). I'm a video editor and deal with moving large amounts of data every day. Today I benchmarked my external Lacie SSD (also from 2012) and It...

I hear all this flak about the MBP 2016 not having any regular ports and how this is a fail. On the contrary, I feel this is the best thing for the MBP and I am thankful to apple for making this bold change, not just for the future, but for now. It has already made my cable management and dongle...

As the MacBook was Apple's first USB-C device and is roughly 1.5 years on the market, how did the single USB-C port hold up? USB-C has a pretty tight fit and the plug stays locked so it doesn't slip out and loses connection, but does it loosen with time? I've discovered that both my Nexus 5X...

Just a thought. The new USB-C port is so versatile but Lightening has been always versatile too. There are a lot of adopters that turn the Lightening port into HDMI, USB, and so on. Apple has been using Lightening for years already, and it's very popular now. There are Lightening storages...

Dell DA200, USB3.0 + Ethernet + VGA + HDMI 4 in 1. This dongle was made for XPS and is perfect for the macbook. With genuine Apple adapters they could easily cost over $100. The dell small and compact. One Amazon review confirmed that this works perfectly with 2016 MBP models. Great choice for...

Many of us are now forced to move to USB-C and buy the dongles. But enough wining. Let's keep this thread technical. Can we daisychain dongles? For example I have the Apples Ethernet-Thunderbolt, VGA-Thunderbolt, DVI-Thunderbolt adapters and I need such legacy connections on the road in future...

I just got my new MacBook Pro with Touchbar. Maxed out, souped-up. It is replacing my 2012 Retina MacBook Pro. My old set up was to connect 2 Dell monitors (a Dell U2715H and a slightly older one) to the MacBook using 1 connection through an OWC Thunderbolt hub (display port connection) and the...

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...

Hey everyone, The Verge posted an article about how not all USB-C cables are meeting the USB standards, and how Benson Leung a Google engineer has been testing various cables available on Amazon. I thought that this would be a useful resource for all of us here as we prepare to receive out new...

Hello, I would make this post with your best USB-C Dongles for MBP 2016. Thank you for your participation.
