can I use USB-C to Thunderbolt2 adaptor?
can I use USB-C to Thunderbolt2 adaptor?
I have the new mac book which come with usb-c port. Can I connect avid native thunderbolt to the laptop? Does anyone have the solution to make this combination work? I cant find anything on the market that will let me use USB and Thunderbolt at the same time. USB is needed for the dongle

Re: can I use USB-C to Thunderbolt2 adaptor?
USB C is not Thunderbolt. Thunderbolt 3 and USB C use the same connector, but are different protocols. So, no
 I don't think any Macs have Thunderbolt 3 yet, its still PC only. If thats a Macbook without a Thunderbolt 2 connector, there is no way to get a Thunderbolt device connected to it.

MacBook (not the MacBook Pro) has no Thunderbolt support *at all*, and is completely the wrong computer to buy if you need to connect HD Thunderbolt, there is *no* possible connectivity solution.

Re: can I use USB-C to Thunderbolt2 adaptor?
Yes but none of these recent posts help the OP at all. There is simply no Thunderbolt on the USB-C connector on a MacBook (non-Pro) (there is on the new MacBook Pro USB-C).
