Macbook Pro Lightning Port Charger

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

Allows me to use my old MagSafe Charger with my 2014 MacBook Pro.

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.

Incredible Dock!  The best for my new MacBook Pro 16 And you can also use it as a charger!!

I have gotten used to a trackpad on MacBook Pro laptops so it is nice to have a trackpad for an Apple desktop. Pairs easily to computer by plugging in with included Lightning charge cable (another Lightning connector device - wish they would standardize to USB-C/Thunderbolt on all their devices and save different cables to have piled up on desk or in a drawer).

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.

For my new MacBook Pro M1, I first tried purchasing Caldigit's new Element Thunderbolt 4 hub. It was nothing but an endless kernel panic with the M1 chip. Caldigit implied that was Apple's fault for their implementation of Thunderbolt 4 ports, but I didn't let them make me stick around long enough to sort out who's fault it was. I returned it, and bought this OWC one and it's been SO much better! No panics yet, sleep works fine, everything returns from sleep (whereas Caldigit's would consider my Pegasus2 RAID an erroneous disconnection everytime it slept), and it's actually really nice having SPDIF (digital) audio out, ethernet, and the card readers. I wish this had one more thunderbolt port out, but then again, I could still daisy chain a couple of my thunderbolt devices no problem. So far so great for this OWC 14-port T3 dock.
