    Charging late 2016 13" MBP in car: how safe is it?

    I have ruined the battery on a rMBP 13" laptop in the past using an inverter while on the road before I knew better. The power coming out of those things is not good unless it is a Pure Sine Wave inverter. So now, I see Belkin has a USB-PD Certified USB-C Car Charger. Supports 5V and 9V USB-PD...

    Compact enclosures for 2.5" SSDs with USB 3.1 Type C

    Hey guys... I'm currently in the process of moving from my 15" Late 2008 MacBook Pro to a new 13" Late 2016 MacBook Pro. Right now I have a 1TB SSD in the Late 2008 and will only have a 256GB SSD in the new 13". Since it is a non touch bar I hope I'll eventually be able to upgrade it if OWC...

    What went wrong with the AirPods and USB-C

    I am an apple sheep, I love everything apple makes. But sometimes I need to admit that they are pretty stupid. Apple wants to go into the future with usb-c, they knew they where doing this when the iPhone 7 came out. Why didn't they make the 7 with an usb-c port? They didn't do that because...

    USB-C. Huh?

    Could someone please explain to me what a USB-C port is about and why it is apparently preferable to a regular USB port? Please type slowly because I know next to nothing about this.

    MBP USB-C =50MB's increase

    Got my new MBP 15" and love it. Its easily the best computer I've ever owned (and thats saying something coming from a 2012 MBP retina which was no slouch). I'm a video editor and deal with moving large amounts of data every day. Today I benchmarked my external Lacie SSD (also from 2012) and It...

    MBP 2016 TB/USB-C ports are the blessing, IMO.

    I hear all this flak about the MBP 2016 not having any regular ports and how this is a fail. On the contrary, I feel this is the best thing for the MBP and I am thankful to apple for making this bold change, not just for the future, but for now. It has already made my cable management and dongle...

    USB-C port after extended usage?

    As the MacBook was Apple's first USB-C device and is roughly 1.5 years on the market, how did the single USB-C port hold up? USB-C has a pretty tight fit and the plug stays locked so it doesn't slip out and loses connection, but does it loosen with time? I've discovered that both my Nexus 5X...

    Could Apple go with Lightening instead of USB-C?

    Just a thought. The new USB-C port is so versatile but Lightening has been always versatile too. There are a lot of adopters that turn the Lightening port into HDMI, USB, and so on. Apple has been using Lightening for years already, and it's very popular now. There are Lightening storages...

    Daisychaining dongles

    Many of us are now forced to move to USB-C and buy the dongles. But enough wining. Let's keep this thread technical. Can we daisychain dongles? For example I have the Apples Ethernet-Thunderbolt, VGA-Thunderbolt, DVI-Thunderbolt adapters and I need such legacy connections on the road in future...

    New MacBook Pro with Touchbar - Displayport / External Monitors Issue

    I just got my new MacBook Pro with Touchbar. Maxed out, souped-up. It is replacing my 2012 Retina MacBook Pro. My old set up was to connect 2 Dell monitors (a Dell U2715H and a slightly older one) to the MacBook using 1 connection through an OWC Thunderbolt hub (display port connection) and the...

    USB-C splitter/adaptor with power passthrough?

    Hi all, I have a 2016 Macbook, with only one USB-C port. I'm wondering if there is an adaptor out there that allows you to use multiple USB-C devices going into your one port, but also has power passthrough - the obvious limitation being that while an adaptor is in, you cannot charge your...

    Best 24"-27" Display for Retina Macbook
