It seems though, that if you want to use the latest tech in audio today, you should consider buying an old computer.This is why most people never update their computer before checking.

That makes sense, it's worth a shot for sure. It seems though, that if you want to use the latest tech in audio today, you should consider buying an old computer. ![]() So, the wireless mouse uses the third USB-C port and the fourth is for charging. When my wireless mouse is plugged in the hub, it lags to much to use so I have to use a dedicated USB-C port with a single USB-C>USB adapter. I mentioned the ethernet not working the usb doesn't work right either. I need one for an audio interface, one for the Anker hub which has 3xUSB and a ethernet port (neither of which work right). ![]() For my most basic setup, all four ports are tied up. Only having 4 USB-C ports is proving to be a serious problem. My line of thinking is that since the thunderbolt device wouldn't be going through the USB controller on the motherboard, and instead would be using PCIE (like most proper NIC's), the latency and network performance would be substantially improved, as the chipset won't be having to buffer and retransmit the data.That makes sense, it's worth a shot for sure. The main difference if I remember is that thunderbolt uses PCIE lanes directly to access the processor, whereas USB-C goes through a controller on the chipset. So if you want to save some dollars to get a USB to RJ45 (Ethernet) adapter for your MacBook Air, be sure to get one from Deal Extreme’s.I know, but thunderbolt 3 and USB C are different technologies, they just happen to use the same connector.

You can get one from the Apple’s store but why pay $29 if you can get it for $7?

So you’ve just bought the wonderfully thin and fast MacBook Air and stumbled into one problem: it doesn’t have an RJ45 (Ethernet) slot! Of course, with everything being wireless nowadays, who needs one? Well, you do! Not every place gives you a free Wi-Fi connection as some old airports, libraries, or cafes allow you to set-up your notebook or MacBook only with an Ethernet connection through the RJ45 cable (that Blue colored network cable, if you don’t know what I’m talking about). ![]()
