If you’re buying a new 12-inch MacBook and scrambling to find cables that work with the laptop’s new USB Type-C port, you have more options than Apple’s pricey cables.</p><p>
MacBook users can instead buy less expensive USB Type-C cables from third parties. The new MacBook also can work with third-party USB Type-C chargers, a big change from the company’s proprietary MagSafe chargers, which are used for other MacBooks.</p><p>
The MacBook has just one USB Type-C port, and MacBook owners may need to buy a range of cables for charging and connections to monitors or external peripherals.</p><p>
“Your MacBook will charge from USB-C power adapters not manufactured by Apple if they adhere to the USB Power Delivery specification,” Apple said on a
support page updated this week.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/2911712/apples-12inch-macbook-can-use-thirdparty-usb-typec-cables.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
