Average rating of 5/5Average rating of 5/5Average rating of 5/5Average rating of 5/5Average rating of 5/5 Oh Apple, Proprietary nonsense is so Old Skool, 2010-01-21
Gosh, remember when people would solder boards in their moms basement and write codes themselves? How about when the only personal computers available all had proprietary products usually soldered to the board? NO? Me either, I was born in the 80's... Nevertheless, a very small amount of companies still do proprietary nonsense in their manufacturing. That model was ditched a LONG time ago in favor of the more industry and end-user friendly plug-and-play standards... it's also been proven to be more profitable.

Apple still does a lot of proprietary nonsense like having a monitor that draws it's power from a non-standard DVI jack... In some ways it's ok to do this, but in most it's just dumb. So a computer donated to our school had this socket on the back. There was a nice Apple Cinema monitor with it, both Apple products... GREAT, QUALITY. well, yes and no. The cinema monitor and computer are great, but they don't like each other, because the tower has a proprietary socket that was abandoned after a couple years by Apple.

This all means that I had to find out why it didn't work, and then figure out how to make it work. I had to buy this nifty cable which works great... and since this is a review of the cable, not of Apple, I give it 5 stars. Honestly though, it's a bad business model that uses unprofitable, and dead practices, which force an end user to buy an adapter to fix a companies mistake.

The build quality is great for this product and Apple products in general, just frustrating having to buy this.

It is a real apple product and not an off brand re-work. Works as planned and now I have a lot more area to work on my 17" MacBook Pro. I wish I would have made the purchase a long time ago.

This product works great. They are a little on the expensive side when converting to the ADC type but it is what it it.

Thanks,
