I mean, I buy a dongle and maybe it’ll support 1080p, maybe 1440p, maybe 4K? Who knows! The Amazon review certainly won’t tell you, the company selling it to you will lie through their teeth. You won’t find out until you’re plugging it in (probably during a presentation) It’s just so much fun playing dongle roulette.
- topicseed 4y agoThis made me laugh too much. It's true on so many levels with anything I bought recently on Amazon.
- SllX 4y agoKind of makes me wonder if Ive’s late Apple designs would stand up better in a world where Amazon was better and you could reliably receive what you ordered. Does anyone else remember that gentleman who worked at Google with one of their USB-C charging Chromebooks that would test various USB-C cables to see if they met spec until one fried his Chromebook? But dongles would still suck so probably the answer is “technically yes, but not in a meaningful way”.
- grecy 4y agoBuy the dongle from Apple and it will be expensive, but it will work perfectly.
- goosedragons 4y agoWell that depends. The old Apple HDMI to USB C dongle doesn't do 4K 60Hz so if you buy used or the shop you're at has old stock... The other adapters like the VGA one they make also don't support more than 60W PD passthrough and they don't really make this clear on the store page or packaging either.
