If you own a MacBook you’re aware of its biggest problem—there are no USB-A ports. Today’s deal has you covered: This two-pack of USB-C-to-USB-A adapters in silver or gray are just $8 today, the lowest they’ve been all year and a must-have for your MacBook.
I own this USB-C adapter and it’s an indispensable part of my setup. Not only does it connect my old USB-A devices and cables to my MacBook without an expensive hub, it also perfectly matches my laptop’s space gray hue. It’s small enough so I can still plug a second USB-C cable next to it (though you can’t fit two adapters side by side) and it’s light and unobtrusive enough to keep attached to my favorite USB-A accessories. Simply put it’s a far better option than the clunky adapter Apple sells for nearly five times as much.
So go grab a pair before the price goes back up. Your MacBook will thank you.
