Review on Compatible MagSafe Adapter IWiner MacBook by Tina Zeiher

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Doesn't work with Apple Thunderbolt 1/2 Monitor for charging Macbook Pro 2019

I love my old Apple Thunderbolt Monitor as it is the only fully integrated interface for my MacBook laptops. I was hoping that this adapter would allow me to charge my Macbook Pro (2019) with a Thunderbolt MagSafe cable. That does not work. While some reviews complained that the fork itself didn't fit, I didn't have that issue. It fits my Macbook perfectly. The problem is that it randomly charges and doesn't charge, rendering the display on the monitor unusable. When the Macbook is not charging and the laptop is closed, the video signal is cut off. I haven't found a solution yet that allows the Thunderbolt MagSafe cable to charge the latest Thunderbolt 3/USB-C Macbooks.

Pros
  • Nice
Cons
  • Sad packaging
