hi Dave Taylor here again and what do
0:07
you notice it's missing here
0:09
you got it first time it's my brand-new
0:12
2016 Apple MacBook Pro why is it missing
0:16
because it hasn't arrived yet but
0:18
there's one huge difference between all
0:20
previous generations of MacBook and the
0:23
new MacBook Pro and that is USB see
0:26
that's a different kind of connector so
0:29
what I have here is I've started to pull
0:31
together things that are going to be
0:33
useful for a computer that only has USB
0:36
see connections and let's start with
0:38
this one this is the thing that should
0:41
have been shipped in every iPhone 7
0:43
Apple computer this is a USB see -
0:48
lightning cable what is this useful for
0:52
wow I just gave you the clue the iPhone
0:54
7 for your iPad for any lightning plug
0:57
device this is the way that you're going
0:59
to be able to connect it to your
1:01
computer now the good news is that this
1:04
is three feet long this is from a
1:06
company called basis and it's a
1:08
terrifying $7.99 at Amazon now to be
1:12
fair it's usually 26 bucks for this
1:13
cable so it is on a special right now I
1:16
think they're probably saying oh my god
1:18
Thank You Apple we're gonna sell a
1:20
billion of our darn cables so they're
1:22
right it's a very nice very nicely
1:24
designed cable I haven't actually been
1:26
able to test it because we have the
1:28
ghost laptop but I'm pretty darn
1:31
confident it's going to work so this is
1:33
the basis USB C to lightning connector
1:37
cable that's number one number two is
1:40
this this is actually pretty slick my
1:43
charge already makes really cool devices
1:45
but this is a my charge razor platinum
1:48
and the intent of this is that you can
1:50
actually charge a MacBook or MacBook Pro
1:53
with this what it's a battery but it's a
1:57
thirteen thousand four hundred milliamp
1:59
hour battery that's a lot of juice and
2:01
what they say is that with this device
2:04
you can actually fully charge a MacBook
2:07
in a hundred minutes now obviously
2:10
neither they nor I have gotten
2:12
hands on the new MacBook Pro to find out
2:15
what the numbers are but pretty
2:17
straightforward comes with a little
2:19
doohickey cable that's USB to USB C you
2:24
plug it in you plug the other end into
2:27
any of your four USB plugs on the new
2:30
MacBook Pro and you're charging now the
2:34
only thing I will say about this is
2:36
honestly my charge I don't want a
2:39
separate cable please have it be
2:41
something built-in where I just unfold
2:44
it and I'm ready to roll
2:45
much much better but nonetheless the my
2:48
charge raise their platinum like I said
2:51
thirteen thousand four hundred milliamp
2:53
hour battery you can also charge other
2:56
things there is USB in and out USB C in
2:59
and out I should say and regular USB 3.0
3:02
output so that's pretty handy and this
3:05
runs ninety-nine bucks you can learn
3:07
more at my charge com that's two third
3:12
item this is really going to be
3:15
everyone's best friend with the new
3:17
macbook pro this is a dongle on one end
3:20
is USB see right you plug that into your
3:22
computer and on the other end are all
3:24
those missing ports this one has USB 3
3:28
and HDMI and USB C and so the why would
3:33
you want USB C because then you can use
3:36
this for example for actually charging
3:39
your device while you have these other
3:41
ones now that turns out not to be so
3:43
important when you have 4 USB C plugs on
3:46
the MacBook Pro but still you know why
3:50
not why not put it on the dongle now
3:51
here's the fun thing with this dongle it
3:53
doesn't even have a brand I just picked
3:55
up one of the least expensive possible
3:58
devices on Amazon and it's probably made
4:00
in the same factory that name-brand
4:02
products are but this one was 20 bucks
4:04
so if you go on Amazon and you look for
4:07
USB C dongle or USB C HDMI whatever you
4:12
want then you'll be able to pick up one
4:14
of these and their company's coming out
4:16
with ones that are way bigger with lots
4:18
and lots of ports honestly I don't know
4:21
that I need something that's big that
4:22
sort of defeats the purpose but
4:25
whatever that's three of our four items
4:28
now the fourth one's a little more
4:29
complicated but it's a lot more cool
4:32
this is the Photofast I type C flash
4:36
drive what makes it interesting well I'm
4:39
glad you asked on one end is a lightning
4:42
connector so again we can plug this into
4:45
our iPhones and iPads and everything and
4:47
on the other end this is a brand new
4:50
product on the other end is USB C so
4:52
that's a 64 gig device that with the
4:56
right software on your iOS system and
4:58
everything you can literally just dump a
5:00
bunch of photos or files on here and
5:02
move them between your computer and your
5:05
tablet or and your smartphone now you
5:07
look at this and you say USB C and not
5:11
super useful they've got you covered
5:12
with an adapter so I put the adapter on
5:15
here and now I have USB 3.0 but this is
5:20
even more fun because the way they've
5:23
designed this and I really don't want to
5:25
break it no oh there we go
5:29
turns out you can actually unfold it and
5:32
you also get a micro USB connector so
5:36
this little 64 gig flash drive is kind
5:38
of like the best of every world is that
5:40
if you want micro USB or old-school USB
5:43
they got you covered if you're living
5:47
right there on the edge with all the new
5:49
gear and then you got USB C and
5:51
lightning right on the same device
5:53
really really liked it now to be fair
5:55
this thing does have a price tag
5:58
associated with it but before we get
5:59
there let me tell you it has one button
6:01
backup software for the Lightning side
6:04
of things and you can also passcode
6:06
protect and this is kind of cool you can
6:08
put a passcode on each plug so you plug
6:12
it into your computer and it's going to
6:13
require a passcode that might be
6:15
different than the one you'd use on your
6:17
lightning device interesting so you can
6:20
learn more about the photo fast I type C
6:23
at Photofast comm and its current retail
6:27
price is 145 bucks so lots of
6:30
interesting stuff and lots more coming
6:33
out now that the new MacBook Pro is out
6:35
there you can believe all these
6:37
companies are scrambling to figure
6:38
how to do USBC and how to come up with
6:41
interesting and different variations on
6:43
the theme I'll look at more as soon as
6:45
they show up but for now for now you're
6:48
gonna want to make sure you subscribe
6:49
otherwise when I do look at the new USBC
6:53
devices you won't be able to know about
6:55
it so please click the link subscribe I
6:58
know you'll appreciate it now
7:00
who having that done I will simply say I
7:03
am really looking forward to having my
7:05
ghost laptop in the two villas and then
7:08
see what that's like and until then I'll
7:11
catch you this is Dave Taylor and I'll
