How can a MacBook Air buyer possibly survive with just two USB-C ports? Our family MacBook Pro (2018) has all four USB-C ports full, and more would be welcome. Two stirrups are really the minimum.īut the company, following Apple, charges more for the pro saddle with two stirrups. It’s just that the pro rider is more skilled. But most any rider has two legs and rides in the same fashion and does the same basic things. To get two stirrups, one has to buy the pro version of the saddle. A company sells a horse saddle with one stirrup-allegedly for average riders. Perhaps an analogy will clarify my point.
A faux justification, in part, for the MacBook Pro’s higher price.So why might Apple cripple the MacBook Air? It’s the power of the MacBook Pro that allows it to perform tasks faster, and more ports aren’t required to utilize that internal power. Ethernet: check (if Wi-Fi not available or allowed).
Keyboard and mouse (or trackball): check.The reality is that when a mobile MacBook of some kind is brought back to the home or office and hooked up, the things it has to connect to remain in common. Very roughly: It will connect to the Thunderbolt port on your MacBook Pro computer to supply the high-speed connectivity of a FireWire port.Rubbish. To provide support for devices that still run FW800 port, you will need an adapter to use with the new Thunderbolt ports.įollow these Steps to Connect your New MacBook Pro with FireWireįirstly, to easily connect the Thunderbolt port on the computer to a FireWire device, purchase a Thunderbolt -FireWire Adapter. The problem now is that Apple has dropped the FireWire cable port from its systems to save space but there are still a huge number of devices out there that depend on the FW800 port. The invention of USB 3.0 has completely obliterated FireWire 800, and as such the port is becoming a shadow of itself. The FW800 variant supports daisy-chaining with a high speed of 800 Mb/sec.įireWire 800 send speeds constantly at the peak level without stopping, unlike USB that sends speeds at a burst rate that halts occasionally. They were first called FireWire 400 but have since been updated to FireWire 800.

Originally developed by Apple in 1999 the FireWire 800 ports are available in non-retina MacBook Pro, Mac mini, and Mac Pro. FireWire also has an advantage of charging the device it is connected to while the transfer is still on-going. Not only does a FireWire cable help connect devices to the computer it can also connect two computer systems together.
The speed transfer rate of a FireWire port reaches to a consistent 800 Mbps. Devices that can benefit from the high-speed rate transfer include but are not limited to digital camcorders, external hard drives and video streaming devices. It has found use in most computers because of the speed it offers over a standard USB port. FireWire, just like your USB, is a very popular type of connector that can help you add peripheral devices to your computer.
