[QUOTE="Ratsima, post: 1837476, member: 402210"] It's all a little bit confusing. When you look at the tech specs for that MBA the only port (aside from USB) mentioned is: • Thunderbolt 2 port (up to 20 Gbps) But then when it talks about video support it says: • Native Mini DisplayPort output • Thunderbolt digital video output I gather both of these are via the Thunderbolt 2 Port. And then when it talks about available adapters it says: • Apple Mini DisplayPort to DVI Adapter • Apple Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter No mention of either Thunderbolt or HDMI. And then when it talks about other accessories it says: • Thunderbolt to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter • Thunderbolt to FireWire Adapter Why are these adapters not listed with the other adapters? Isn't an adapter an adapter? When you go shopping for "adapters" the terminology confusion gets worse with vendors seemingly using Thunderbolt and Mini DisplayPort interchangeably and/or simultaneously. And then there's USB C….
