Apple Macbook Pro Touch Bar 2016 Vs 2017

The adaptor was used to connect a MacBook Pro 2016 with touch bar to an older iMac with TB2 as a second monitor.

I have been very pleased with the MacBook Pro 13 inch with Touch Bar. Surprisingly, the Touch Bar seems to be very useful and enjoyable to use. The updated keyboard is quiet and smooth. The processing speeds are good and I haven't encountered anything problematic yet. The only thing I would consider negative is the smell and feel of the provided power cords. It smelled of petroleum and a white paste wiped off in my hands. I received two replacements from Apple and they suffer from the same condition. Not sure if that is part of the manufacturing process or perhaps it's a bad batch. I asked Apple to look into it, and they responded (for the most part) with grace.

It works I tried several aftermarket adapters to get my superdrive to work with my 2016 MacBook Pro but only the Apple Adapter worked

I had a mid-2017 MacBook Pro 13 that was still in great condition (and thank you B&H/Phobio for a great recycle price!) but was coming to the end of Apple Care. I wanted to keep the touch bar (unlike the prevailing consensus I love it) and do not need the additional ports that are reportedly coming in the new MBPs this year with the M1x/M2 chips. The new keyboard is great, very good travel, the Escape key is back, but it is totally true that the performance and battery life are INCREDIBLE. Apps, especially Apple Apps like Safari, Mail, Calendar, and Music open instantaneously (one bounce on the Dock or less). I have not done any heavy-lifting like video processing or photo editing yet but this is a great machine that I expect will last me another three years. I highly recommend getting 16GB of RAM as Big Sur wants to run in 8GB of space!

It works just fine with the latest 2017 MacBook Pro and is less expensive than the comparable Apple adapter.

Worked like a charm on my 2016 MacBook Pro w/ touchbar.

I use it to hook up my thunderbolt monitors to my 2016 MacBook Pro.

I just got this new MacBook Pro for my birthday and I love it!!!!!! The Touch Bar is so handy and useful. I can use it for Siri, volume, brightness, and more! I love how the keyboard lights up so I can see it in the dark. In conclusion this MacBook Pro is the best and I totally recommend it.

I got this for my new Macbook Pro Touch Bar with only USB-C connections. Everything connected to this adapter works 100%! I have also the Apple USB Type-C Digital AV Multiport Adapter and the Naztech USB Type-C Hub 5 wich are not reliable and the StarTech beats them! Ill buy more of this item!

I upgraded from a 13 inch Touch Bar MacBook Pro, so the performance increase was dramatic as you can imagine. I love the all day battery performance and the industrial design a second to none. The screen, cameras, and audio quality is stunning I would suggest this laptop to anyone.
