I’m replacing my current late 2010 Macbook Air with the latest model (late 2018). As with most computer upgrades in my experience I may well be letting myself in for more purchases than I’d first thought, viz compatability/connectivity. The new Macbook Air 2018 has only two ports - Thunderbolt 3 (USB C). I need to connect it to the following peripherals I already have:
1 Apple LED Cinema Display, model A1316 - connects to my 2010 MBA via a split cable going into the Minidisplay and magsafe ports respectively
2 G-Tech 4TB G-Drive USB 3.0 external hard drive - connects to one of the two MBA USB 2.0 ports
3 Hewlett Packard USB x4-port hub - connects to the other USB 2.0 port (for any other bits like my ethernet cable or my Wacom Intuos tablet)
4 Very occasionally I connect my laptop to a projector. Annoyingly I seem to have lost the adapter so will need another in time. Could someone remind me which I should get: Apple USB-C digital to AV multiport adapter or Apple USB-C to VGA multiport adapter?
Burning question: before I start on the upgrade journey, can anyone advise on the right connectors/adapters for the new Macbook Air used with the above peripherals?
