They not only have the required USB-A ports, but an SD card reader, an Ethernet port, VGA, HDMI, and more. Sadly, Apple does not offer an all-in-one solution–but you can grab third-party adapters on Amazon, like this one from CableMatters or this one from Satechi.
In that case, you’ll want a multiport adapter that can accommodate just about everything. Want more than just two USB and one display port? One of the biggest complaints many professional artists will have with the MacBook Pro is the lack of a SD card reader. A Better Value: Multiport Adapters Can Connect Everything with One Dongleīuying separate cables and dongles can quickly become an expensive headache, especially if you need to connect multiple devices at once-and especially if you need to connect more specialized devices, like an external display. If you’re buying a new MacBook Pro, this is more than likely the one dongle you will need. This connector will get you connected to the vast majority of your current devices, including your iPhone (using any USB to Lightning cable), but keep in mind that if you want to connect more than one USB device to your MacBook Pro at the same time, you’re either going to need several of these dongles, or more preferably, a multiport USB hub.

The Simplest Option: a USB-A to USB-C Dongleįor the vast majority of people, you’ll need at least one dongle to get started: a traditional USB-A to USB-C connector, which Apple helpfully sells for $19, and which is on sale through the end of the year for $9. The goal of this article however, is to show you how to connect your stuff to your MacBook or MacBook Pro with the least amount of dongles. Chances are you probably don’t have a lot of USB-C devices laying around yet, which means in order to connect your USB thumb drives, external hard drives, and even iPhone, you’re going to have to buy at least one, if not more dongles-or cables. Needless to say, if you’re planning on making the jump, you’re going to need to be able to connect your stuff to it.

The new MacBook Pro comes in a few configurations: there’s a 13-inch model with two USB-C ports, and a 13-inch and 15-inch models with four USB-C ports. It seems Apple has made its mission to get everyone to use USB-C. While the Touch Bar may have garnered the most attention, it’s what Apple removed from their top-of-the-line laptop that has people talking. Namely: ports. Apple has made quite the splash with their new MacBook Pros.
