Keep this in mind when picking out the port-heavy accessories below. Thanks to the MacBook Pro models with M1 Pro and M1 Max, USB-C hubs and docking stations are more useful than ever as they now have dual-monitor support. Better yet, a USB-C hub will easily let you connect to one of the best monitors for MacBook Pro. With this nifty connector, you can change how your laptop is used entirely - all by adding the necessary ports. If you want to use a mouse, plug in a different keyboard, or connect your MacBook Pro or MacBook Air to a USB-C monitor, you’ll need to get yourself a USB-C hub. This isn’t ideal for those who want to use, well, any other peripheral. Plus, the MacBook Pro 14 doesn't come with any USB-A ports.

In fact, the 13-inch MacBook Pro with M2 only boasts a headphone jack and a pair of Thunderbolt ports - one of which is used to charge the laptop. However, even the best laptops have their shortcomings.Īs good as they are, you’ll find every MacBook Pro’s weakness is its lack of ports. I was worried that perhaps I need another kind of USB-C => USB 3 adapter for regular USB devices to work, but I can't confirm that.Apple’s MacBook Pro models have been the best laptops on the market for years, with the recent M2 MacBook Air and M2-equipped 13-inch MacBook Pro, along with the MacBook Pro 14 and MacBook 16 with M1 Pro and M1 Max, being the cream of the crop. When I plug in mouse and keyboard in the adapter, nothing happens. Here is the problem: the USB slots doesn't seem to do much. Screenshot showing that the finder can find the connected hard drive In the finder I see the hard drive though, seems to work well. The keyboard and the hard drive are both plugged in to the uniHub-C. When I have a USB keyboard plugged in, and an external hard drive - the System Report > USB shows as follows. My external USB hard drive works, so the mouse/keyboard issue feels strange. The power supply works, when I plug in the power cable to the adapter, the computer charges. For this I bought an adapter that plugs in to the Mac's USB-C port, and supplies two USB 3.1 ports, one HDMI port and a power delivery for the USB-C power supply. In this machine I need to plug in one external monitor via HDMI, and a few USB devices (mouse and keyboards). I got a new MacBook Pro from late 2016, MacOS Sierra, 2 thunderbolt 3 ports.

Is there a wireless usb hub for macbook
