Apple long ago bet on USB-C connectors and this has created a great debate. On the one hand, the brand is asked to innovate and make equipment increasingly lighter and with less dimensions. But at the same time, that our external elements are 100% compatible with the inputs of the Mac.
Apple has understood that the transition is expensive, because we must get used to the use of adapters. That is why, silently, without making any communication about it, has prolonged the reduction of cables and USB-C adapters, monitors and hard drives until March 31, 2017.
Average discounts are between 20% and 40% and are applied to different products, both Apple and third-party manufacturers. Recall that Apple carried out this measure with the following message:
Let's remember that many users, especially professionals, have many computers with current connectors and are facing a transition ... we want to help them move to the latest technology, as well as accelerate the growth of this new ecosystem
In this sense, we must make memory: The USB-C connector is a standard of many brands, it allows transmitting information up to 10Gb per second, while charging the device and its connection is symmetrical.
In another sense, Apple accepts orders from today for the LG Ultrafine 5K monitor with a significant discount, currently at a price of € 1049,00. This 27-inch monitor will be available for delivery on December 27 or 28. But if you decide to get to know the monitor in first person, before making the final decision, you can do it in stores from the 29th of this month.
Finally, the hard drives reduced by Apple until the end of March of next year, correspond to the drives that incorporate the MacBook Pro. It is another of the novel parts of the new equipment, due to the great capacity for data transmission, although its downside is the substantial increase in the price of Macs.
