These ports work well with USB-C devices, which have the same connector design. But, it’s worth noting that all those ports are only of one type – Thunderbolt 3. Also, the new MacBook Air comes with a pair of similar ports. The latest MacBook Pro comes with either two or four rotationally-symmetrical connector ports, depending upon the model. Moreover, there are several multi-function USB-C adapters that allow you to use memory cards, multiple USB drives, external displays, and even charge your MacBook, all at the same time. Now, what if you want to connect your new MacBook like the latest M1-powered MacBook Pro or MacBook Air, to a wired LAN network for downloading large files or just need faster internet for work? The lack of an Ethernet port forces you to stick to a wireless connection even if there’s a good wired network available.įortunately, that’s not the end as there are several dedicated Ethernet adapters available today that would work perfectly with your MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, as well as the latest Apple Silicon Macs. MacBook users are well aware of the fact that their devices lack several useful ports and the Ethernet port is one of them. The ultra-slim profile of the MacBook Pro and MacBook Air is truly impressive, but it has been achieved by ditching several ports from the device.
