Hi folks, coming from a 2013 MBP with lots of ports, I was about to buy a hub for my M1 MBpro, which arrives Dec. 17.
Then I remembered that I have ports on my old laptop stand, (image below with specs) I use this stand in my office all the time. I wonder if anyone can tell me if this can work. I'd rather not buy more electronic clutter- if this can work, great, if this needs too many adaptors, then no, I'll get a hub.
1. I don't have the power supply anymore, should I just try without and see? The specs don't specify what type of output is required in a power supply.
2.The square centre HOST port- I've a cable like that, but it's USB at the other end- would a USB/USB C adaptor work to plug into the new M1 MB pro?
3. The main periferals I have are an external keyboard, printer, and an audio interface/mic combo. Will these work plugged in here?
4. Finally, I have an old external monitor I'd like to keep using as a second screen. It has an old VGA connector, I plug it into my old MBpro with a VGA/HDMI adaptor. Is there an adaptor that can make this work? VGA to USB? HDMI to USB? Or- VGA to USBC, and just use one of the ports on my computer directly?
Thanks for any help,
Moosebear
