Having a SD card reader on the hub isn't that important as I rarely use SD cards and I already have a SD card reader on my MacBook Pro. I already have a USB 3.0 hub expansion at my house, so I can just plug that into this new hub I'm looking for. Having 4 standard USB 3.0 type A ports on the hub isn't that much of a need. The OWC USB-C dock and the ARC Hub are my 2 favs. If I can get my hands on a quality USB-C dock that will last for quite a few years, then I'm more inclined to spend more on it. I'm leaning towards buying a USB-C dock and getting a thunderbolt 2 adapter for it so the dock will last awhile into my next few computers. No release date or price tag on this one at all. This seems like a decent option, but it seems a little large in size. This seems like the best one yet along with the OWC USB-C dock, but it's not available yet. This one will last awhile, but is a little pricey at $150 It uses a USB-C connection to your MacBook. This one also seems real nice in quality and is one of my favorites. OWC USB-C Dock - 6469094&utm_source=affiliate&utm_campaig… (credits to Allan Jones for finding it) I can’t spend $217 for a dock that will only last a few years until I get my next MBP. This one is perfect for my current MBP, but it’s expensive. OWC Thunderbolt 2 dock - (credits to Allan Jones for finding it)
Sorry if it's the wrong spot.ġ3" MacBook Pro with Retina Display (Early 2015 model) macOS Sierra 10.12.4 Beta 16E154a I'm not sure if this is in the right category/right forums webpage. Anyone have any ideas for this? I appreciate anything that you all can find. Adapter must connect to my computer via thunderbolt 2 and I need to plug a usb-c cable into this adapter. I also need a thunderbolt 2 male to usb-c female adapter. Recap - I need a port hub that has at least 4 USB 3.0 ports and at least one HDMI port that connects to my computer via USB-C. Probably because thunderbolt 2 is a little outdated now. $30 is my limit for the adapter.Īn even better solution would be to have a thunderbolt 2 hub/dock with those ports I need that connects directly to my MacBook via thunderbolt 2, but I've seen nothing along those lines available on the internet (for a reasonable price). This adapter also can't be crazy expensive. Just to clarify - I need to plug a usb-c cable into this adapter, and the adapter converts that into a thunderbolt 2 port, which I then plug the Thunderbolt 2 port into my MacBook. For thunderbolt 2 to usb-c adapter, it needs to physically connect to my MacBook using a thunderbolt port, not a usb-c port. I cannot spend 75-100+ bucks on this whole setup I'm going for.Īs I do not have USB-C built in on my 2015 MacBook Pro, I will also need a thunderbolt 2 male to usb-c female adapter. Around $60 is my limit, preferably $40-$50. It also needs to retail for a reasonable price. I need this hub to connect to a MacBook via USB-C. It can have much more than that, but must have the criteria specified above at the minimum. I need a hub (or dock) that has at least 4 USB 3.0 ports and at least one HDMI port. I have done quite a lot of research on Google and Amazon, but I can't seem to find one that works for my needs. Hi, I am looking for a port hub for my 13" MacBook Pro 2015.
