Joe 30330: Dec 20, 2007; "We have this notion that if you're poor, you cannot do it. Poor kids are just as bright and just as talented as white kids."

As the audience reluctantly began to applaud during the silence, Biden tried to fix his remarks.

"Wealthy kids, black kids, Asian kids -- no, I really mean it." Biden said.

any time you think this, just remember, you can buy an optional accessory that will allow you to do what the device should have done out of the box.

thanks timb.

I'm glad apple provides an optional accessory ($149) to plug in and use ethernet on my 2015 laptop, true captains of industry with such innovation

i was replying to the statement that a $150 accessory was needed to supply ethernet to the macbook, with a sub $20 accessory that is able to do that

i also stated the macbook should have 2 usb c ports to address the lack of ability to use said accessory while simultaneously providing power in the same post

that doesnt negate the linked accessory from being able to provide ethernet to the macbook at a sub $150 price point

the macbook lacking ethernet is fine, almost no one plugs in their laptops anymore in tyool 2015 and for the special snowflake cases you do need it, there's a cheap dongle for you

having only a single usb c port on the macbook is dumb, at least have 2

obviously you would use that with the usbc dongle. but there's also 3rd party gigabit ones for usbc and usb3 in there somewhere

It just works, like all Apple products!
Purchased this for my MacBook Air and it works flawlessly! I use wifi 90% of the time, but for those rare occasions that wired is the only way to go, it's nice to know that I just jack right in and get to work. I work in IT so having access to both wired and wireless connections is a MUST for my line of work! By the way, a quick word about the the adapter only being 10/100 vs Gigabit capable. This is not due to Apple being "cheap" or controlling, but rather has to due with the inherent limitation of the USB connection itself. See, by definition, USB 2.0 has a theoretical maximum bandwidth of 480 Mbps. This means that USB 2.0 - at a maximum - is capable of less than half of the maximum Gigabit speed (1,000 Mbps). So even if Apple would've included this feature in the device itself, the bus the USB connects to internally would prevent it from ever reaching anything near that speed, plus, the device probably would've cost about 300% more since most Gigabit-enabled products usually cost approx. that much more for that capability. My only (slight) complaint is the lack of status/link lights on the device. Again, from an IT standpoint, that feature is a welcome addition, however, being an Apple product, Apple does not include these lights on any of their products (MacBooks, Apple TV, Mac Pros, etc.) so I didn't expect them to include it...just a personal preference is all!
