Apple Thunderbolt To Gigabit Ethernet Adapter For Mac카테고리 없음 2020. 2. 15. 19:59
Mac / Thunderbolt / Gigabit Ethernet. Apple's Thunderbolt to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter enables you to connect to a high-performance Gigabit Ethernet network via.
Are you serious? That's a 10/100 adapter, the speeds will be atrocious. It's not even worth buying.
OP, pay the extra and get decent speeds and something that's Apple certified. Sometimes you get a better deal if you buy third-party and cheaper. In this case, it's just not true. Additionally, Amazon occasionally have it for a little cheaper.
You'll be hard pressed to find it less than £20 though. If you've paid for a £1000+ machine there's no point in crippling it with a cheap, crappy adapter. Click to expand.Good question. I suppose if Apple really wanted to include an Ethernet port, they could have found a way. But there are a few reasons, IMHO. Ethernet port is too large: it'll be difficult to fit one into the thin shell of the rMBP.
Other UltraBook manufacturers have a weird flappy thing that reveals the full size of the Ethernet port. However, that isn't a particularly elegant or sturdy solution. Justification: I'd estimate that the majority of people who purchase a rMBP would never use the Ethernet port - others would use it rarely. I suppose as the rMBP has two Thunderbolt ports, you've got the option of buying an Ethernet adapter if you need to use it. Similarly, if you need an optical drive, you'd purchase an external one.
Same again with a USB floppy drive. Ultimately I think Apple are trying to get to an ultra-thin notebook future. Although it's difficult to see why in the immediacy, forcing themselves to innovate better thermal solutions affects their entire product line. I'd be willing to bet that advances with the thinness/thermals in the PowerBook/MacBook lines and in the iPhones really helped to make things like the nMP and rMBP possible. They've always had a quest for thinness, and always haven't had a quarrel with disregarding peripherals/other tech that are still being widely used. It's not a case of arguing their mentality, it's more a case of going along with the ride.
Apple will screw you, no doubt about it - but they've been screwing with customers all the time, and I'd rather they're a company with a clear pipeline and vision, than a company who tries to please all their customers and end up making sub-standard crap (think almost all PC OEMs). TL;DR: I have no idea. Click to expand.Yeah, I have a 120Mb/s connection, soon to be upgraded to 156Mb/s.
Also, Ethernet isn't just for internet, it's for general networking. To have a network card that has a theoretical maximum transfer speed of around 12MB is a joke. Take a 10/100 adapter to a LAN party and you'll be way behind.
Use it to connect to a campus or business network and it's too slow. Use it to image systems, and you might as well be using a 28.8 modem. It's far too limiting. My point was that for the sake of saving a few quid, it's not worth the severe drop in quality. Yeah, I have a 120Mb/s connection, soon to be upgraded to 156Mb/s.

It's far too limiting. My point was that for the sake of saving a few quid, it's not worth the severe drop in quality. Click to expand.And what about connecting to a University/work network via Ethernet? That's not exactly imaging systems.
My initial point was simply - why buy a $2000 laptop and skimp out on a considerably slower adapter for a few dollars? We're not talking $100 for an adapter here. We're talking about something the price of a crate of beer. Sorry if you felt I was talking down to you; you did begin by saying I didn't know what I was talking about, and took a sarcastic tone when you rolled your eyes with your first reply so I got a little riled up. We're both a little better than that and I know you didn't mean to incite any anger. I genuinely didn't mean to start an argument either. You're absolutely right that the adapter should be fine for most uses, I shouldn't have patronised you and I hope we both have valid points for the OP to consider.
Click to expand.I'd disagree with you here. People who want an Apple laptop currently have no choice side of Retina, as classical ones aren't displayed in store, and may even not be available at all, except for repairs. Floppy disk is a bad example: it has been dead for the past 10 years at best.
However the lack of an optical drive is still an issue, for example when dealing with language-learning methods. My Spanish book edited last year came with a CD inside, as do the vast majority of language-learning methods. Click to expand.Huh, no.
Most users with more than just one computer connected to their modem have outgrown 100Mbps a decade ago. Of course most Internet connections don't reach up 100Mbps, but any decent spinner will go above that, and some will gladly saturate 1Gbps. Apple has recognized it, and since years their machines come with a Gigabit port. What's the point is settling for a much inferior speed? Only very, very cheap OEM PCs have no gigabit inside, or when they do, it's actually a USB-Ethernet bridge, giving only 400Mbps of actual bandwidth, USB being the limiting factor. AFAIK, Apple machines have a true Gigabit chip inside. And what about connecting to a University/work network via Ethernet?
