Satechi’s USB Type-C Hub Expands the Options for Your New MacBook Pro

Turn Your iPad into a Secondary Screen with Luna Display

Make Sure Your Apple ID Is Set for Two Factor Verification, NOT Two Step Verification!
Several years ago, Apple rolled out “two-step verification” to protect your Apple ID. It involved a trusted device, a password, and a recovery key you had to print and save. If you’re like me, you probably filed that key away and forgot it existed.
OWC ThunderBolt 3 Dock for MacBook Pro: A Solution to a Problem That Shouldn’t Exist
Ever since I finally received my standing desk by Fully, there was one other item that I knew my setup needed to make it complete: the OWC Thunderbolt 3 Dock. OWC announced that they would be creating their Thunderbolt 3 Dock way back in 2016 when the MacBook Pro was announced, and after a few delays, and a lot of other reviews of standalone imitators, the popular Mac vendor sent over their Thunderbolt 3 Dock. Promising to deliver more connectivity, power and charging capability than the previous Thunderbolt 2 Dock, the Thunderbolt 3 Dock is a “what can I not do”…
CharjenPro’s Latest Hub Is a Great Addition to Your MacBook Pro
A couple of months ago I reviewed CharjenPro’s USB-C 5-in-1 hub for the MacBook Pro. It was an absolutely great accessory for the 2016 Macbook Pro that gives you a lot of the functionality that Apple stripped away when they went all USB-C for their latest Macbook.
Hyper’s USB Type-C Hub Is the All-In-One Accessory Your 2016 MacBook Pro Needs

SynCharge Promises They’ll Give Your MacBook Back Its Magnetic Charger
One of the things I like about my 2015 Macbook Pro is that unlike newer MacBooks, it has the magnetic charger that used to differentiate Apple laptops from all others. If my cable gets bumped or pulled, it breaks free from my laptop — rather than crashing everything to the floor. SynCharge promises to give Type-C MacBooks back that feature.
The Matte Black MacBook Pro Apple Should’ve Made, Courtesy of Colorware
Colorware is a popular company known for coating consumer products such as Bose, Xbox One and PlayStation 4, and even Apple products.

CharJenPro USB-C Hub for MacBook Pro: No Need for a Bag of Dongles
Against Judie’s suggestion of waiting until Apple updated the Macbook with better specs, I still went ahead and ordered the Apple Macbook from October 2016 with Touch Bar and I’m truly in love with it. It has its quirks, but one thing I wasn’t prepared for was all of the dongles I would need.

Urban Armor Gear’s Composite Case for MacBook 12-inch
I recently had the opportunity to use and test a composite case for my 12-inch MacBook from Urban Armor Gear. This manufacturer’s sample states it is military grade and drop-tested. Although I’m not about to start drop-testing my MacBook, I have no reason to believe it’s not military grade. It feels very sturdy and well-built, while remaining lightweight. So as I just mentioned, my initial reaction is that it is really light. I’m sensitive to things that add bulk to the MacBook since it’s size and weight are a key part of what makes it so nice to travel with….
