Connecting to Thunderbolt Display

[Lemondropcr]

Hello

Can anyone offer any advice on the following please?

We have an early 2015 macbook with one usb c socket.

We would like to connect this to a 2013 Thunderbolt display.

What we are unsure of is that if this is possible which adapter would be required? Ideally one that also has a socket for the usb c charger?

Any advice much appreciated.

David

The 2015-2017 MacBook has only USB-C. It does not support the use of Thunderbolt devices whatsoever, so there's no way to use that display with it.

yes, via an inelegant solution. Like a dock. Like those made by Henge. I used to run a 27" ACD from a 12" MacBook via dock and, while it's clearly something to irritate the Steves and Jonys of this world, it works.

Remember the 27” apple monitor also exist with Mini DisplayPort. The display is equal to the thunderbolt version which was released later on. The Mini DisplayPort version has fewer ports tho
