I just got a new MBP 13 and I use a ASUS 168B portable USB 3 monitor for work, I got a j5 create thunderbolt 3 mini doc, which I thought would work for connecting the external usb monitor, but it apparently does not have enough power for the monitor to work.
I have since ordered a Belkin SuperSpeed+ USB 3.1 Type-C to Micro-B Cable that the tech at BH told me should power the ASUS monitor and it should arrive Friday. Any of you fine folks use a non usb c portable monitor with a newer MBP? Any recommendations on a hub or cable that will power my asus?
I could try and persuade my boss to approve a new USB C monitor, though I had to beg a plead for a month to get approval for a new MBP. I need the portable monitor for work (I travel a lot) I'm afraid I'll have to return the MBP...
Thanks!
