New MacBook Pro needs this
on June 19, 2019
Posted by: AndyW
Verified Purchase:Yes
Sure enough, I love my new MacBook Pro - but it only has USB-C ports. And all my stuff has USB-A plugs. So I got a couple of these and will use them every day until I get enough peripherals that have USB-C plugs.

simple and effective

Verified Purchase:Yes
I've owned six brother printers over the years. My previous one, however, showed "low toner" after not much use. Tired of recycling almost-full toner cartridges, I returned it to Best Buy for recycling of the machine and got this little gem. I've owned a 5250 for years - always dependable. Prints both sides and card stock (I print tickets for my rec center, thousands of them). Wireless is a plus - very easy to set up. I found a YouTube hack to get full use out of al toner cartridge, so I'll try that if I feel that it's quitting early.

From TV shows to movies to games, it~s all available on Apple TV. Enjoy content from iTunes and apps like Apple TV+, Disney+, Netflix, Hulu and ESPN ~ or use the Siri Remote to find just what you want.* You can even share all the photos you take with your iPhone on the big screen. And it all looks great in HD.

Not Apple's finest. Hope for something better
on June 19, 2019

Verified Purchase:Yes
We were ready to "cut the cable" and got an Apple TV. I've used this at our rec center to mirror-image and love it.
However - the remote with this has a mini-trackpad that's a bear to use. And using it to input my Apple ID password is just awful. Worse than texting on a flip phone (remember those?) Why not use a fingerprint on my iPhone? I did download the iPhone app for remote, and that was better. At least I could type it instead of using the remote to move over the entire alphabet to find it, letter by letter.
BTW, we went back to cable. I kept the Apple TV and will try to use it on another television at our winter home. The built-in shows were nothing that I wanted to watch and it's not easy to download apps to get the shows we did want. I want my Apple products to be easy to use and exceptional. This is neither.

Cheap enough to give away

Verified Purchase:Yes
Nice flash drive - easy to use but missing an indicator light.
I like them because the low price makes it easy to put files on them and give away the drive.

Good portable hard drive with a USB-C cable
on April 19, 2019
Posted by: AndyW
from Phoenix, AZ
Verified Purchase:Yes
OK - most of these portable hard drives are good - not much difference between them (I'm still waiting for a SSD that's cheaper.... they're coming close). This one, however, comes with two cables to connect it to your computer - a standard USB-B high speed (the flat one with two parts that plugs into the PHD) and a standard USB-A plug that we've seen for years. The other is a USB-B high speed with a USB-C connector... the new MacBook Pro has four of these ports. So you get a faster connection with no adaptors. Nice! I'm using this connector with my other portable hard drives.

Connect your iPhone, iPad, or iPod with Lightning connector to your Apple iPad 10.2" (7th Generation 2019) and USB-C or Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) enabled Mac for syncing and charging. You can also use this cable with your Apple 29W, 61W, or 87W USB-C Power Adapter to charge your iOS device, and even take advantage of the fast-charging feature on iPad Pro, iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus, and iPhone X.

For the new MacBooks, it does the job

So - how do you review a simple USB-C to Lightning cable? I expected it to work (saves a dongle when hooking up my iPhone), and it does! Must be magic, eh? If you have a MacBook Pro, get one of these.

The new MacBook Pro has quad-core Intel Core processors with compute speeds that are up to twice as fast.~ A brilliant and colorful Retina display featuring True Tone technology for a more true-to-life viewing experience. And the versatile Touch Bar for more ways to be productive. It's Apple's powerful 13-inch notebook. Pushed even further.

Great little computer

Verified Purchase:Yes
I replaced another MacBook Pro, also with a 500 GB SSD. This one is lighter, thinner - but the keyboard is difficult to get used to. I love the touch bar - easy to work and I'm surprised that I like it so much. Of course, I'm having to buy accessories with USB-C, but they're coming down in price.

Stupid question but does the covers come off or do u have to have another connector to connect to my computer??
The covers slide back exposing the USB-A plug that will fit a similar port. Most new computers, however, do not have a USB-A port, but there are many adapters available. I noticed that older machines (like the copy machine available to me) do not accept this drive, as it's a USB-A 3.0 (faster than a 2.0), but the machine only accepts 2.0. That will change as equipment is upgraded.
