come one little gadget fix everything
0:01
that's wrong with the new MacBook Pro
0:03
let's have a look Dave Taylor here again
0:14
and this time I want to look at ports
0:15
and plugs on the new MacBook Pro what I
0:18
want to look at specifically is this
0:20
this is the Moshi USBC multi port
0:25
adapter and is pretty nice because it
0:27
has old-style USB so you can use things
0:30
like my handy prop thumb drive it has
0:33
HDMI super helpful if you're plugging it
0:36
into external monitors or televisions
0:37
which I often do and it has USB see hmm
0:42
why would a USBC adapter have a USB plug
0:46
on it now for some people that's because
0:49
they can use this with the MacBook Air
0:50
which has less USB C ports than the new
0:53
pro with four plugs pretty hard to fill
0:56
them all up I would imagine but the mo
0:59
she has a little trick up its sleeve
1:01
because Apple sells a device that's
1:03
similar with these same three plugs on
1:05
it but what Moshi has is they have a
1:07
little tiny smart LED a little tiny
1:10
light that comes on and shows you that
1:13
you're charging and it changes color
1:15
when you're fully charged finally
1:17
someone has fixed the whole issue that
1:20
bugs me so much about my new MacBook Pro
1:22
with touch bar which is I don't know if
1:26
it's charging and I don't know if it's
1:27
charged and I would say probably one
1:29
night out of 4 I leave it plugged in I
1:31
get up in the morning and it's not
1:32
charged and this is like seriously Apple
1:34
this is the best you've got if I have a
1:36
little indicator light now if you're
1:39
really paying attention Moshi also has a
1:41
little USBC cable that has the smart LED
1:45
I like this better because this lets me
1:47
use any cable and ease any sort of USBC
1:50
at all and frankly if I don't even want
1:52
to use that it's just really nice with
1:54
the old-style USB which I definitely
1:56
need and with the HDMI which is super
1:59
darn handy now Moshi has another trick
2:02
when you ready for this it folds neatly
2:06
and the cable isn't sticking out and
2:08
that's really the primary difference
2:10
between this and the one that Apple
2:12
makes now the Apple device
2:13
that has the three ports is a little
2:15
smaller but it's got a cable sticking
2:18
out and there ain't nothing you're doing
2:19
about that but I really like that this
2:21
is foldable makes it more portable to
2:23
put into a computer bag or your purse or
2:26
your briefcase and it's a little less
2:29
likely that something Bad's gonna happen
2:30
to the cable because we don't want bad
2:32
things happening to cables right so let
2:35
me tell you about this it is actually
2:37
premium aluminum the smart LED charging
2:40
light you know about that the HDMI
2:43
supports 4k only at 30 Hertz or 1080p
2:47
which is full HD at 60 Hertz so
2:49
basically you're gonna have no idea
2:51
what's going on that there's any issues
2:53
at all and this a lot of this is to do
2:54
with the sort of hardware limitations of
2:56
the Mac anyway but you plug this HDMI
2:59
into a nice big modern TV and anything
3:01
on your computer is gonna stream and
3:03
look just dandy USB 3.1 this gives you
3:07
up to five gigabytes per second so it's
3:11
definitely a plenty speedy enough
3:12
old-school USB connector and the smart
3:16
charging it's kind of interesting them
3:17
this is the same issue mo she has with
3:19
the air of their packaging to is they
3:21
say the smart charging works up to 60
3:23
watts right so okay what's wrong with
3:25
that what's wrong with that is the slow
3:27
charge from Apple for the new MacBook
3:30
Pro is 61 watts the fast charge adapter
3:33
from this unit the one that actually
3:35
comes with the computer is 87 watts now
3:38
mo she assures me all good is cool they
3:41
just need to update their packaging but
3:43
worth mentioning so I have you
3:46
definitely used this with my 87 watt
3:48
power adapter and doesn't seem to have
3:49
any issues and the light comes on super
3:52
cool and really that's all you need to
3:55
know about it here's a little close-up
3:56
of the three ports just so you can see
3:58
what's what pretty obvious USB HDMI USB
4:02
see nothing really amazing there the
4:05
only other thing to know
4:06
moshe calm and how much is it wow you
4:09
got to look around a little bit to find
4:11
this so I found that B&H photo video
4:14
actually had one of the better prices
4:16
when I made this video and that is 79
4:19
bucks so it's a little premium of a
4:21
price over what Apple charges for the
4:23
same set of connectors but I think that
4:27
indicator and this fabulous actual
4:31
folding cable makes that little premium
4:34
definitely worthwhile so this is the
4:37
Moshi USBC multi port adapter this is
4:40
