The Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) to Thunderbolt 2 Adapter lets you connect Thunderbolt and Thunderbolt 2 devices - external hard drives and Thunderbolt displays, for example - to any of the Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) ports on your MacBook Pro. As a bidirectional adapter, it can also connect new Thunderbolt 3 devices to a Mac with a Thunderbolt or Thunderbolt 2 port.*

Does the trick, only works on Macs

It'd be great if this guy worked with Thunderbolt 3 enabled PC's as well, but if you need one of these for your Mac, it's about as good as you can ask for.

Kingston - Nice Solid Value Drive
on May 5, 2017
Posted by: stanstechgarage
Verified Purchase:Yes
With the hard drive shortage, when I see a good deal I pounce. Kingston is a solid brand with good reliability and support.
At $40 below the going price, this was a no brainer.

It's good, it's nice

Hey for a general workhorse under $250 at the time, you certainly can't find much better. Lenovo's are pretty solid in general and this is no exception. Nothing super sexy about it, but it'll get the job done.

Unlike traditional, circular earbuds, the design of the EarPods is defined by the geometry of the ear. Which makes them more comfortable for more people than any other earbud-style headphones. The speakers inside the EarPods have been engineered to maximize sound output and minimize sound loss, which means you get high-quality audio. The EarPods with Lightning Connector also include a built-in remote that lets you adjust the volume, control the playback of music and video, and answer or end calls with a pinch of the cord.

They're Apple. They have a lightning connector. They make sound when plugged into the phone. If you have an iphone, these are probably good for you. Enjoy.

The new MacBook Pro is faster and more powerful than before, yet remarkably thinner and lighter.¹ It has the brightest, most colorful display ever on a Mac notebook. And it features up to 10 hours of battery life.² It’s a notebook built for the work you do every day. Ready to go anywhere a great idea takes you.

It's a Mac - it is what it is
on March 17, 2017
Posted by: stanstechgarage
Verified Purchase:Yes
So this is the cheapest Macbook Pro you can get these days. It's a good computer. Looks and feels nice. SUPER long battery life. But expensive and very difficult to repair. Impossible to upgrade. BBuy had a $250 off sale happening and it's still practically twice as much as a comparable PC.
This sits in my nightstand and I use it when I need to look something up real quick in bed. I also watch Netflix and such on it when my wife's asleep. For those purposes it's fine.
Nice, but who know if it's worth the money. Apple is basically daring anyone unwilling to spend 2k every 3 or so years to go elsewhere.

Nice Upgraded Machine
on March 10, 2017
Posted by: stanstechgarage
Verified Purchase:Yes
Anyone who buys a laptop these days and doesn't upgrade to an SSD is doing themselves a disservice. If you're unable to perform this upgrade yourself or have a friend who can, you're in luck, this one already has one! It makes the computer incredibly zippy and makes every day tasks go by in a flash (pun intended). Many more mid range PC's like this are coming out, so it's only a matter of time before everything is SSD based. In the meantime, in the $600 ballpark you get a nice i5 CPU with a decent sized 256gb of solid state storage. Pretty sufficient for just about anyone so long as they don't have massive media libraries.

Decent Basic Machine
on February 17, 2017
Posted by: stanstechgarage
Verified Purchase:Yes
Look, for $200 if you buy the wrong laptop, you'll likely really regret it. With this one, you won't. Decent productivity machine that'll effectively let you do office work, browse the web, and watch videos online. For half the price of an iPad, you get an ACTUAL computer. Not a bad deal if you ask me.

Great Value-Priced SSD

Verified Purchase:Yes
I've used plenty of these PNY drives. They're a great value in the $120 range, provide excellent performance, and have proven to be reliable. The $25 Visa Checkout discount didn't hurt either! Would buy again at the right price.

It's an Original Apple Charger
on November 18, 2016
Posted by: stanstechgarage
Verified Purchase:Yes
So I needed an Apple Charger, and Best Buy sells them, so I bought it from them. More convenient and faster than dealing with the Apple Store, so I say why not? If you need one of these, this is as good a way as any to buy one.
Too bad they're moving to the USB C type as these are superior.

Hi, So I personally have a pc somewhat like this, but is a pentium. I t can just barely run what I want it to. Will this pc BLOW it out of the picture? And also, am i able to play core 2 duo, or quad core games on this? thanks!

No, it's just marginally better. It's a $250 PC. You'll need to spend double that and beyond to get anything notably better.
