Hi, I'm in a scholarship program at my university and we have a mandatory Apple Swift programming course. Because of this, we all now have 13" MacBook Pros. Most of us are PC users, so we have a lot of USB 3.0 peripherals and the likes. Our campus has 1 gig ethernet connectivity. Something that can be used with other USB C devices would be nice since these MBP's are only ours for the next four years. Anyone have any suggestions under like $50? Preferably cheaper!

Failing to see what this dongle might be used for.  Do you mean a usbC->USB3.0 adaptor?

Not a pro, not even very good.  I’m just old and have time currently.  Assuming I know a lot about computers can be a mistake.

 

Life is like a bowl of chocolates: there are all these little crinkly paper cups everywhere.

Well, general IO. HDMI, Display Port... really all the missing ports that you'd expect to see on a pro model device ?

So a full port replicator like the thing @harryk mentioned
