3) Thunderbolt 3 is Compatible

Thunderbolt 3 offers wide compatibility to previous connectors. Through its compatibility feature with USB-C, connectors such as Lightning cables, micro and mini USB, ethernet adapters as well as VGA or HDMI.

But most tech analysts said that the pricing is just at par with the features they got from MacBook Pro 2016 which has become more efficient in many other ways. 

An Apple consultant in Madison named Jerry Zigmont said every price increased in the new Mac is an increase in processor, speed, graphics and memory, Forbes reported.
