2019 MacBook Air only has two usb-c ports-- for everything
Hello, I recently lost my 2017 MBA to an accident (group effort :)). In a rush to replace it, I didn't realize what all I was losing by upgrading to the 2019 version:
- Memory card reader
- Dedicated charge port
- 2 standard USB ports
- Thunderbolt 2 port
My issue is that I frequently use it as an "HTPC" for road trips, where I need to simultaneously connect:
- Power full-time
- HDMI output (using adapter connected to Thunderbolt port)
- USB wireless mouse/keyboard receiver
- USB Elgato Stream Deck
Is this possible with only 2 USB-C ports or should I be returning it? One caveat is that I want to use the mouse/keyboard that I have (took YEARS to find one I could tolerate, don't want to invest the money or time into a bluetooth alternative). Also I'll miss the built-in memory card reader as I used it every night in the hotel copying off the day's photos/videos.
Many thanks
