I'm looking to upgrade my MacBook Air to something with the new Thunderbolt 3 ports, but also has USB 3 ports. There seem to be so many models out there, but I didn't find one.
Which MacBooks have Thunderbolt 3 and USB 3 ports without the need of an extra adapter?
Best Answer
None.
Currently, the only "MacBook" that supports Thunderbolt 3 are the MacBook Pros that were released in 2016 and on. Those only have USB-C type Thunderbolt ports. If you are looking for something that will give you USB-A ports along with USB 3.0 compatibility, you will need a (dreaded) dongle.
The 2016 MacBook Pro 15" (with and without Touchbar) has the following ports:
The 13" model has only 2 Thunderbolt ports:
The MacBook Air (2015) only supports Thunderbolt 2 while the latest MacBook only support USB-C with DisplayPort (no Thunderbolt).
