beekeeper-0

In addition to the Apple Watch, this Friday, April 10, Mac users are in luck for the launch of the slim 12-inch MacBook. This new MacBook is getting opinions of all kinds, from users who see it as a spectacular machine and others who believe that Apple is doing it wrong.

But if there is something that does not escape those who like and the detractors is the new and only USB-C port what has the MacBook. This is undoubtedly the main reason for debate among Mac users, all or almost all of us are somewhat astonished with Apple's decision to leave the Mac with a single port, but above all this barrage of questions and answers about whether or not it will be enough this lonely port, there is someone who rubs his hands, manufacturers of accessories for USB-C.

Apple also has its own line of accessories for this lonely port, which will undoubtedly add to the company's revenue sack. But we also have third parties that are preparing for the launch of the new 12-inch MacBook, and those that, as is the case with this new project of Kickstarter named BeeKeeperAlso they want part of the huge cake.

At the moment this adapter offers us the possibility of use standard USB with new Mac USB-C. While we are writing this post they already have 742 dollars collected from the 33.000 that are asking to bring this project to fruition - never better said -. They have 32 days left to reach the goal and this adapter is costing for the backers about 19 dollars of the 39 that they have planned for its launch.

This is the cheapest model in which we only have the adapter, but they allow you to choose between one that adds the charging cable, among others that have the colors of these new MacBooks and others. The main problem with the adapter is that at the moment they only ship to the United States and CanadaWe will see if in the end they end up changing this handicap, which will surely reduce sales.
