Apple Reviews Of New Macbook Pro Ports

Apple now does not offer many options for Ports ( on new MacBook Pro)... only USB-C on its new Lap tops ....so if you have a new MacBook Pro you will need this . Other laptops and of course iMacs have USB-A ports .. so I have a new 16'' MacBook Pro and need to have access to ports other than only USB-C. Also there is no card slot ... beware.Get one if necessary. I also got a SuperDrive ... no longer an option on new Macs.

This item is very handy for extra ports needed when using your Apple MacBook Pro

It fixes what is missing in Apple's new Macbook Pro (no ports except USB-C). Good part is that it can stay with MacBook and don't need to plug out like cables adapters.

Perfect for Macbook Pro, since apple removed all connectivity from their laptops except for the type C ports. Very fast download speeds.

Bought a MacBook Pro with USB-C ports and no vieeo output. Bought with it the Apple USB-C to HDMI adapter to drive my 4K TV that I use as a montor. The Apple product was total garbage with intermittent operation, tearing of the image, and useless to do work on. Since then I tried multiple other USB-C to HDMI adapters to run the TV in 4K resolution with similar results (although the worst what the one I bought at the Apple store.) This adapter works perfectly. Rock solid image at full 4K resolution. I highly recommend it to anyone that wants a 4K monitor for a very low price to work with their MacBook Pro that has the USB-C ports only. (The 4K TV is 55 inch which I bought for about $350 at Walmart on sale.)

I purchased this to make an external boot drive for my 2015 MacBook Pro. This device is probably the fastest way to add external storage to my machine since the Thunderbolt 2 ports are far faster than the USB3 ports. Since this Sabrent Thunderbolt 3 enclosure is self-powered, you can use the Apple Thunderbolt 3 to Thunderbolt 2 adapter in reverse, making full use of the MacBook's Thunderbolt 2 port and getting super fast transfer speeds, making it suitable for use as a boot drive. I don't have any benchmark utilities, but I copied a large VMware image from the internal Apple SSD to an external 2TB FireCuda 530 and saw an Activity Monitor peak write speed of 1.6GB/sec, which is super fast. The case gets a little warm, but that means that it is effectively sinking heat from the M2 drive. I used this to successfully build and test a system upgrade to Mojave, and will continue to use this to occasionally run modern OS versions that I don't want to permanently upgrade to due to software compatibility issues with old apps I still need to run. Right now, it's Velcro'ed to the laptop lid and holds a 1TB drive waiting to test Catalina, so I can see which apps break before deciding if I want to take the plunge. All in all, it's perfect as an external drive for my older MacBook Pro, it's well priced, and extremely well constructed. I'll continue to use it for the rest of the life of this machine, and it'll still be useful if I upgrade to a more modern machine later.

I'm not quite sure if I just got a great one compared to all these other reviews, but this product is perfect and exactly what I was looking for. Connects perfectly to my MacBook Pro. I don't get any looseness or cheap vibe from it. Could Apple have made it better? Sure. But for me, a photographer who needed these ports for SD cards, External Hard Drives, and the ability to charge my phone at the same time...ITS GREAT! Plus it looks like it's supposed to be made by Apple and looks great on my computer. 5/5 for sure.

Apple MacBook Pro's have always delivered, and this one is no exception.

Works well with MacBook Pro and USB-C ports

Needed this for my new macbook pro... all my old usb ports work fine!
