Yes, dongle. It must be the strangest name since the scuzzy portconnector from days past, which derived from SCSI (Small Computer System Interface).Since you probably dont know what it used to mean, lets just focus on what it refers to.
The adapter itself has one or more ports of its own built into it, allowing you to plug more devices into your computer at the same time. After plugging it in to your laptop you can plug other devices simultaneously into your laptop via the dongle. Thats the universal connector, so to speak, thats been around for decades (Its the one you typically have to first plug in upside down, then flip over.) The USB-C connection is a newer and better one connection, and not just because you can never plug it in wrong (its reversible). The USB-C connector delivers a much faster data transmission. And many device manufacturers havent switched to the USB-C plug, as it will take time for them to convert, if they ever do. Incredibly, on their new MacBook, Apple has provided a single jack. Compare that to some PCs today where there are still up to five places to plug in devices. Heres why Apple, in their own words, took away all your port options. The USB-C port puts just about everything you need in a port all in one place. So, theres now a dongle that gives you two jacks; one for charging and one for plugging in your now old headphones, if you want to charge and listen to music at the same time. But keep in mind that the USB-C port will work better and faster than the other ones. Translation Dont lose them (theyre small and easy to misplace) and theyre not cheap.
