Mac Air Ports

I currently use a 2014 Mac Air which has two USB-3 ports, a thunderbolt port and a mag safe 2 power port. I use the ports to attach a 24" Apple LED Cinema Monitor into the Thunderbolt port and a printer into the USB-3 port.

I am upgrading to a 2020 Mac Air which only has 2 USB-C (thunderbolt 3) ports. One port needs to be used as a power port.

What accessory doggles or hubs do I need to attach my monitor and printer. I also use a AirPort Time Capsule via Ethernet.

Thanks for your guidance.

Hello sarbarex1,

Apple does not provide what you are looking for in an all in one dongle, try checking https://amazon.com, I recommend this one! https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07TVSLDND?pf_rd_r=3P55HB37AKTV161PEDF8&pf_rd_p=edaba0ee-c2fe-4124-9f5d-b31d6b1bfbee

I hope this helps!

There are hundreds of hubs or docks available through Amazon. The best ones are from OWC and CalDigit.

I bought the USB to C adapter when I bought my new MacBook Air. Sounds like you will need the ethernet to C also for the Airport Time Capsule. I have recently seen an ad in my Facebook feed for a dock you can add to the side that gives you more options for connections. I did not purchase cause I'm leery of some ad on Facebook.
