Made for the MacBook, but should work with the new Pros (I hope so as I have one sat on my desk) http://minix.com.hk/en/products/neo-c-usb-c-multiport-adapter
I'm wondering why most of the people are going for full on hubs when the Macbook Pro's have 4 USB'c ports... any special reason?
Yes, one cable to rule them all!
My MBP will be a desktop replacement, but will be used as a laptop out of the house. Probably 75% of the time sitting on a desk with the lid closed.I'm wondering why most of the people are going for full on hubs when the Macbook Pro's have 4 USB'c ports... any special reason?
Good find. It delivers 90W so don't see why it wouldn't work with the 15".Looks like I may get this one...

Just concerned if it will continue charging 15" MBP while in use
I ordered a usb-c to usb-a from Apple and already received it. Ideally I would like a hub I could throw in my bag for ethernet, SD card, USB-a and HDMI, but I will wait for more reviews till a buy one. OWC offers and nice hub, but it's super bulky and expensive.
The OWC hub is crap. Read the Amazon reviews. I was horrified. "Cheap Piece of Junk," one reviewer called it.
See the hub in post #33 above.
I also did a Thunderbolt 3 to Thunderbolt 2 for my Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter (I hope it works like that) at my desk. If that's not possible with that adapter, can someone chime in?
I was wondering about that too. My monitor uses DVI as well - yes, it's an antique, but it works. But TB3->TB2 is an expensive dongle! I hate to pay that!
- It unfortunately will not work like that, which is also spelled out pretty clearly in that linked support document.According to https://support.apple.com/en-ca/HT207266, I believe the setup will work.
The Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) to Thunderbolt 2 Adapter doesn't support connections to these devices:
- Apple DisplayPort display
- DisplayPort devices or accessories, such as Mini DisplayPort to HDMI or Mini DisplayPort to VGA adapters
- 4K Mini DisplayPort displays that don’t have Thunderbolt
- It unfortunately will not work like that, which is also spelled out pretty clearly in that linked support document.
You need a different sort of adaptor for your DVI monitors.
Caldigit seems to be a better choice.
- Definitely do that if it has HDMI. If you don't need DL, you can also do USB-C to HDMI adaptor followed by an HDMI to DVI cable.Bummer. Probably worth it to just switch to HDMI and grab an adapter for that. I only justified the Thunderbolt adapter and using the DVI since it's multipurpose. Might just switch over to HDMI to the monitor instead.

Wow. The cost of dongles is going to obscene. I'm going to need a basketful of them between my wife's and my setups at home and work. It looks like my $4k laptop purchase is going to have to trigger a significant monitor upgrade too! Ouch!- Definitely do that if it has HDMI.

- You are correct. If there's no audio support, there won't be an option, and you don't have to do anything.Since HDMI generally carries audio (although my monitor does not accept audio), is there anything I'd need to do when I boot it connected to the monitor, like switch the audio output every time? I'm supposing in my scenario, HDMI would just carry the video and there wouldn't even be any audio option.
- There are USB-C to HDMI from third parties all over. Just do an Amazon search.Actually. It looks like there is no USB-C to HDMI. Just the multiport adapter. Apple Support says the USB-C to HDMI is coming soon. Might hold off for that.
Honestly if they could just get an sd slot in that thing it would be greatI am surprised no-one is considering a USB-C port

I am using this one from Monoprice for my MacBook and I love it!
Nice
