new-macbook-pro

With the arrival of new MacBook Pro We all expected the renewal of the mythical Thunderbolt Display but instead we came across two new screen models, one 4K and the other 5K but from the LG brand, two new screens developed by Apple and LG that are here to stay. 

However, many are the users that today have an Apple Cinema Display, a very robust monitor with good features that still has a lot to give. Well, if you had planned to use the Apple Cinema Display with one of the new MacBook Pro, We are sorry to tell you that an incompatibility between the two has been discovered. 

The MacBook Pro, both with Touch Bar and without Touch Bar have reached the market with a very significant change in terms of incoming and outgoing connections and that is that Apple has only provided them with Thunderbolt 3 ports in USB format. C. So far so good because it is Apple itself that has created a adapter that allows us to connect the peripherals that we already had with a Mini DisplayPort type Thunderbolt 2 connection to a USB-C type Thunderbolt 3.

Well, it seems that all that glitters is not gold and it is that videos and specialized blog entries are already beginning to appear on the network in which users who have received their new MacBook Pro and have tried to make use of their Apple Cinema Display, they have found that they do not work with the new laptops Although we connect them with the adapter that we have mentioned in this article and that you can see above.
