Do you want to use the new MacBook outside of a perfect Apple world?
You know, a world where you occasionally need to connect your computer to stuff using USB, HDMI or – god forbid and I do feel your misery – VGA?
Make sure you have an extra $200 to spend when you buy the new MacBook since you will need:
- USB-C Digital AV Multiport Adapter, $79
- USB-C VGA Multiport Adapter $79
- USB-C to USB Adapter $19
That’s $177! It’s likely you’ll also need a USB-hub that will probably cost you ten bucks for an okay one and maybe, if you like me work in an environment with flaky wi-fi, you’ll also need the good old Apple USB Ethernet Adapter for an additional $29.
And you know your pretty computer will look really pretty with an adapter sticking out of it, connected to a second adapter, connecter to a third adapter.
But I’m sure it looks great on Jony Ive’s desk.
