    I bought 2 for my Thunderbolt Monitors

    I had an Apple Thunderbolt monitor from 2011 and just got a used one for $200. I bought two of these connectors and plugged them into my MacBook Pro 15" and everything works perfectly. I can even use the Thunderbolt displays as USB-A hubs. Love this. The price is a bit 'gougie' as it's a simple adapter that Apple provides after having obsoleted my monitors. I had to pay $50 to continue to use something I paid $1000 for in 2011. It hurt my feelings. But on balance, at least I extended the life of my monitor for another 5+ years for just $50.

    Using an samsung external monitor with thunderbolt 3 with my MacBook pro 2014, however you will need a thunderbolt 2 cable. The apple tax is a hassle, but still worth the investment (no lagg).

    I needed to transfer about 80gb of documents from an okd macbook pro to my new macbook air. There isnt a thunderbolt 2 to 3 cable so this adapter was needed. It worked perfectly. But the challenge was then finding a thunderbolt 2 cable which i did find elsewhere. Adapter was a huge help

    This is a pricey dongle, but he was able to bring life back to my old Apple thunderbolt display with my MacBook using USB type C. The cable quality is strong, but is short.

    This length is a little short and the next size is way too long for what I needed. Price is expensive Overall it works great and no other complaints other than price and length options.

    This is a needed accessory to keep use accessories you already have. It's too bad that Apple sets the price so high, it should be half the cost, but otherwise works perfectly and is not bulky.

    Want to buy a new MacBook, but afraid of losing access to your old monitors? This adapter solves that problem by providing you with the ports you want. It's just unfortunate how expensive it was.
