So no need to buy an expensive Thunderbolt-enabled cable. But with my cheap 90 centimeter cable plugged into two sides of the computer, I get: Remember that the two ports on each side share a Thunderbolt bus. Well, not if you plug it into the two ports on one side of the computer, then nothing happens (except the power thing). Things get more interesting when plugging in a fully wired USB-C cable. Will one charge the other? Randomly, or does it ask if you want to provide or use power? Or will they both decline to charge? I wonder what happens when you connect two different computers over USB-C. Apparently the Mac provides 15 W to itself: The computer also chimes as if it's plugged into power, but it says "not charging". These cables are supposed to support 480 Mbps, but I only see 1.5 Mbps here: When I plug in my Apple or third party charging cables, I get:
#MACBOOK AIR NOT DETECTING EXTERNAL DISPLAY GFXCARDSTATUS PRO#
Who would've thought that SuperDuper or even my VPN client (Hide My Ass Pro) insist on using my AMD Radeon Pro 460? Just removing the VPN client from my Login Items so that it's not running in the background all the time has reclaimed a lot of battery time. Also, gfxCardStatus is an essential little program for these dual gfx card laptops, because you may discover (as I did) that some rather "unlikely" software culprits trigger the use of the energy-hogging discrete graphics card. And the built in speakers are surprisingly robust sounding.īattery life is excellent now that I've got my Energy Saver settings sorted out.
For example, if you don't have a separate numerical keypad, the "keys" provided in the native Calculator App are brilliant. The touch bar is a work in progress but very useful even now. The screen is wonderful - sharp and bright with beautifully saturated colors. Build quality is rock solid - just a gorgeous slab of aluminum. Coming up on three weeks of use with my 15" touch bar MBP, I have to say that I'm very, very pleased with it.
