HDMI to USB-C without adapters now possible as more Macs expected to adopt port

<p>USB-C first debuted in Macs last year with the 12-inch Retina MacBook, and this fall even more Macs (https://9to5mac.com/2016/08/29/report-apple-planning-macbook-air-imac-refresh-for-october-new-apple-pencil-features/) are expected to adopt the new standard port. While the MacBook is a lightweight machine (both physically and in terms of workload), MacBook Pro uses will expect wider functionality without adapters if USB-C replaces ports available on current hardware.</p>
<p>Add HDMI to the list of ports USB-C can now easily replace. The group behind the HDMI standard today shared (http://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20160901005070/en/HDMI-Releases-Alternate-Mode-USB-Type-C™-Connector) that it’s now possible to connect HDMI and USB-C directly. Manufacturers will have to produce the cables, of course, but the new HDMI Alt Mode makes it possible. Previously, USB-C to HDMI required a dedicated adapter (https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias%253Daps&amp;tag=n003f1-20&amp;field-keywords=usb%2Bc%2Bto%2Bhdmi) between cables.</p>
