How are people dealing with the new mac book usb-c ports?
Thought getting the new mac book pro would be a good idea. I've run into seemingly endless issues with cables/ports
- my thunderbolt display needs an adapter and no longer charges my laptop...need to carry my charger with me everywhere
- my keyboard at work no longer plugs into my laptop, i need a "lightening to usb-c cable"...back to the apple store.
- my music recording system needs a new adapter
- I need to be ready with an HDMI/USB/everything adapter everywhere i go...if i forget it while going to a conference, i'm hosed as most A/V crew don't carry the adapters
on top of the cost of the laptop, i've already spent $300+ on adapters and keeping track of where they are and when i need to bring them with me has been a total PITA. This is the first time i've bought an apple product and faced endless frustration.
would appreciate any useful advice for dealing with this. doesn't seem like theres 1 swiss army knife adapter to solve these issues.
