[QUOTE="Randy B. Singer, post: 1878938, member: 190607"] Those ports are physically USB-C connectors, but they use the Thunderbolt protocol. This becomes important if you are one of those folks who would like to attach your MBA to a larger monitor while you are using it at your desk at home or at the office. When you go to get an adapter to attach your video cable (usually HDMI, but sometimes DisplayPort or mini-DisplayPort) to, a "USB-C to whatever" adapter won't work. You will need an adapter that supports Thunderbolt. However, any USB-C to USB-A adapter should work fine to allow you to use USB-A devices. [/QUOTE]
