USB Type-C - inconvenient restrictions or real innovation

The new MacBook - one of the first computers, take advantage connector USB Type-C. Itself, Apple calls it for short USB-C - a small connector that looks like the Lightning and, moreover, is also a two-way. After the presentation, USB-C has received positive comments and a bunch of negatives. What are it has more: good or bad?

In addition to charging, USB-C also acts replacing the video port and allows you to attach monitors, docking stations and more. To all this is added the USB 3.1 version with a capacity of 5 gigabytes and support VGA and HDMI.

Desire Apple so dramatically translate the world into USB-C looks depressing. According to the company everyone should purchase a rather expensive adaptersTo have the opportunity to connect to the device is something other than charging.

By the way, USB-C - this is the first charging for Apple devices, created not by the company itself. And that's a plus for the end user, as all the accessories, which were issued earlier, is no longer under the control of Apple. We can expect the emergence of new devices, such as external battery for MacBook.

The future of USB-C looks promising, but now many people are still a bit early to move to the new connectors. The adapter, which offers Apple has just one USB connector and HDMI. One only has to hope that third-party developers to make an adapter with more ports.

Despite the fact that the USB-C - is a new technology, with support for Apple it will be on a new level. Catch up with manufacturers of accessories and we will soon see a lot of devices and adapters that were not there before.
