Macbook Pro Charging Port Hot

With the new macbook pro usb-c port you need one of these.

Charges MacBook Pro 16 pro max and display port works. Data transfer tests seems to have a peak under specs but close. Little pricey.

Great adaptor for old MagSafe chargers to new MacBook Pro charge port.

Love this thing and works great with my 14" M1 MacBook Pro. It gets pretty hot sometimes.

I love the M1 version of this Macbook Pro! It doesn't get hot, is super fast and just the right size (13). I upgraded from an older Macbook Pro model as I needed more memory and storage and this is working out perfectly for my photographic needs. B&H delivery was earlier than expected so that was a bonus too!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Finally a charger that works with multiple devices. This thing has enough power that I can charge at least three power hungry devices at once, and it doesn't get hot. I can charge a MacBook Pro, a wireless speaker (it sucks a ton of power), and a wireless iPhone charger all at once. Even though other chargers claimed enough power to charge all this stuff at once, none did it. If I was charing my MacBook Pro at high rate, the brick would get super hot. Not this one - it stays cool. Love the look.

This card got very hot when I downloaded video to a MacBook Pro using a card reader. Almost too hot to touch. I was surprised, and I have no idea if this is normal. Works fine.

I bought this to use with my 2015 Macbook pro 15 and it works as intended (Full res 75Hz, sRGB mode) with a thunderbolt to display port cable. Colors are as accurate as my mac display although the mac might have just a little more contrast but in day to day usage, you really won't notice. Ergonomics gets a 10/10 and I've set this up at full stand height with vertical arrangement of the two displays. Didn't go for the PA278CV since my laptop doesn't have a USB-C port, it's pricier and the display panel is more or less the same. Overall, I'm really satisfied with my purchase. Highly recommend if you want a monitor for productivity and content creation.

I use this cable with a Macbook Pro laptop and a Sony A7iv, which has a full size USB-C port. It works well, using the Imaging Edge software. I would get the 15' size (vs 10') - the extra 5' don't get in the way and give you some safety margin. I like the bright orange color that helps me to avoid tripping over it.

When you have a new MacBook Pro that only has USB-C ports and a monitor that is Display port native the adapter fills the bill. It is reliable and works well with a MBP.
