If I need a faster and more modern port, though, I can't retrofit it on.īut I understand that, for many people, the new keyboard is as much a dealbreaker as the lack of old ports. When I stop needing them, I can get rid of them. Dongles have been part of my life for years, from FireWire to VGA and DVI, to Ethernet and now USB-A. From USB-C/Thunderbolt 3 to Touch ID, they're by far the best laptops I've ever used. ConclusionĬonfession: I love the latest MacBooks Pro models. One more thing: Both come in silver and space gray. It offers 14 ports of connectivity: USB 3.1 Gen 2 / Gen 1 + Thunderbolt 3 + microSD Reader + SD Reader + mini DisplayPort + Gigabit Ethernet + S/PDIF + Combo Audio I/O.īottom-line: If you want all the tech in the new but also need all the ports of the old, yo, ho, ho, it's a $$$ #DongleLife you go. For that, I'd recommend the OWC Thunderbolt 3 Dock (opens in new tab). It provides the power, speed, and flexibility of four USB-C + Thunderbolt 3 ports to charge from any side or drive 5K displays.īut you'll also need a hub to add back all those legacy ports. This is the last 15-inch MacBook Pro Apple has produced. Starts at $2399, although discounts are available
