These are the adapters you need for the new single-port MacBook

Apple announced the new MacBook on Monday with high resolution Retina display. It measures half an inch thick and weighs 2 pounds. It also features a unibody all metal case and fanless design and gets nine hours of battery life.

The MacBook ships with two ports - a headphone jack and a USB port. Here lies the problem. The same port is used for all the activities that include charging the laptop, connect a display, or plug an iPhone to transfer data. The problem here is how do you plug more than one device or cable at the same time.

For that, you will have to buy an USB-C Digital AV Multiport Adapter that will include HDMI, USB 3.1 and USB-C inputs located on the device. It is priced at $79. 

The adapter plugs into a single jack on the laptop and gives you HDMI, USB  and power ports so you can charge your laptop plus connect your iPhone or connect to the TV screen, etc. at the same time.

The USB-C VGA Multiport Adapter features three ports - VGA monitor port, USB port and a USB-C port for charging. It also costs $79. You can use it to mirror MacBook's screen to a 1080p display and can use it for standalone USB-C to USB adapter.

The USB to USB Type-C adapter will connect devices such as your flash drive or camera. It can also be used for syncing and charging your iPhone, iPad or iPod. It is priced at $19.

If you are after a second power adapter, there is the 29W USB-C Power Adapter. It costs $49. There is a $19 Power Adapter Extension cable in case you need some extra length.

Also there is a 2-meter USB-C Charge Cable that will cost $29. It plugs on both ends and connects to the MacBook for charging.
