Hello Digger,


There is no way for us to know which cables and adapters that you may need. We do not know which devices you will be connecting to your new MacBook Air.

Your new MacBook Air will have two USB-C (Thunderbolt 3) Ports. One of those will be used to charge the MacBook Air's battery (Power Cord). That only leaves one USB-C port open.

Examine all the ports of the equipment that you will be connecting to your MacBook Air. Determine the cables/adapters/HUB that you may need based on that.
