Macbook Air M3 Charging Port

I upgraded from a MacBook Air 13 M1 to MacBook Pro 16 M3 and love the bigger screen size. The screen is vibrant and bright enough for me to work outside. This one is fast! The battery life is better than my Air. The speakers sound great too. Certainly worth the upgrade for my workflow.

I was originally in the market to get a M2 or M3 MacBook Air, but I eventually came to the conclusion that I really didn’t need it considering the fact that my 2020 MacBook Pro is still in pristine condition. I then started looking into iPads; I initially thought, “What would I use it for?” But once I got this iPad in hand I can honestly say that I use it more than my laptop; the only time I use my laptop is when I need a second screen or I just feel like using a laptop instead. Don’t listen to the YouTube tech reviewers negative opinions about this iPad; it’s great for the average user. B&H made the purchase process very smooth and easy; my order came in 2 days, well packaged. I’m very satisfied…

With the release of the new M3 Macbooks, Apple now only carries the base model of this Macbook Air (M2), which comes with 8GB of memory. Since I needed a 16GB version I started looking online. While I found the exact same model sold for the same price from B&H and BestBuy, I ultimately decided to go with B&H because of their focus on customer service and a clear mission.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Belkin USB-C 6-in-1 Multiport Hub with mount has been a game changer for my home office. The multiport hub includes: USB-C, 2x USB-A, SD, microSD, and Ethernet ports. I use a MacBook Air and this laptop lacks the USB-A port. I’ve been able to connect the hub to my MacBook Air to utilize the USB-A port to read my USB flash drive data sticks. The MacBook Air also lacks an integrated ethernet port. The Ethernet port that is included with this Belkin Multiport Hub is a bonus. I’ve connected my MacBook Air to a hardwired internet connection versus a Wi-Fi connection. I have experienced an increase in data transfer speed with this hardwired connection. This multiport hub is easy to use and takes up little room during transport.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am so impressed with this new plugable. It makes my Macbook Air 2020 really more versatile and useful. I plugged in the HDMI cable to my monitor and it worked immediately after adjusting a few settings on the mac. I love that I can plug theUSB-C power cord right into the port on the hub and still have available an additional thunderbolt port on the mac. The quality of the hub being stainless steel and heavy duty power cord makes this hub feel like it will last a long time. If you have the new M-1 Macbook Air, this is the hub for you.

My MacBook air only has usb-c ports, so this allows me to use any usb-a peripherals with it. Like thumb drives, hard drives, card readers, a mouse or anything else. It is very helpful and comes in handy frequently. I love the short cable and its flexibility. It is well built and sturdy, and the flexibility has just the right amount of resistance and strength. It does not feel fragile at all, but still can be bent into a position that you'd want. Because my MacBook has 2 usb-c ports right next to each other, this works better than a thick usb-a adapter which would be larger at the connection point and might encroach on the other usb-c port. This does not get in the way of the other port, which is nice. [I have received this product in exchange for my honest review]

With a MacBook Air, you have only two Thunderbolt ports. This multiport adapter adds two USB-A ports, a USB-C port, and an 4K HDMI port, effectively giving you four ports with the use of one Thunderbolt already on your MacBook Air. And, it's small enough to easily carry in a pocket.

For any M1 Mac with a USB-C port (MacBook Air, Mac mini, MacBook Pro, Mac Studio) the Transcend will transfer at 10 Gb/s USB 3.1 Gen 1 speed and NOT 20 Gb/s USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 speeds. Interestingly enough, the additional provided USB-C to USB-A cable allows 10 Gb/s to the rear USB-A port of the Mac Studio even though Apple advertises the port to go up to only 5 Gb/s. The unit has a pleasant rubberized optional cover that feels good in hand and doesn't scratch other devices in your bag.

Own a 2017 MacBook Air and did not realize a USB Type-C port was not on the device. This product was immensely helpful as I've now been able to plug more recent equipment into my older laptop. Personally used the adapter for a high definition webcam and it served the video transmission and streaming wonderfully. Extremely satisfied and happy to have found this tiny piece.

Not much to say--it's a cable and it works. Using it to connect a 2015 MacBook Air with a Thunderbolt 2 port (Mini DisplayPort) to a Dell 4K monitor using the HDMI input.
