Ya, for connecting to a hub it's awesome, just plug one cable in and you get power, monitor, keyboard and mouse. Hope that still works.
Also, I like being able to charge on either side, it's annoying having the cable across when the plug is on the wrong side.
So if the Thunderbolt 4 ports support all this, then it's amazing, just best of all worlds. Otherwise a bit of a bummer.
- cyberge99 5y agoThunderbolt4, while more expensive, supports all of this and with a clearly marked cable. Usb-c is a mess. It’s worth the extra $20 to have a cable that can do usb-c and thunderbolt.
- philihp 5y agoUSB-C are more like adapters that let you plug in anything that isn't USB-C. There still does not exist a device for under 100 USD that will let you plug in the MBP's USB-C power, a USB-C (over thunderbolt 3) monitor, and also a USB-C to Lightning cable. I hope you didn't have a wired keyboard, too. There does exist a hub that has 2 USB-As and 2 USB-Cs for 50 USD, but it does not pass through video or power.
