About to pull the trigger on macbook air for daughter.
I have heard that the new macs don't have USB ports.
Here is a link to the exact model I'm going to buy: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/macboo...test-model-space-gray/5721600.p?skuId=5721600
Now I see in the details for this unit, that it has 2 USB 4 ports. OK does this mean this is a unicorn that somehow does have USB ports? Or are these so new/strange that older USB cables won't plug into it, so effectively it doesn't have USB? Or was that thing about no USB just an urban legend?
I want to buy in the next few hours, so if possible I'd like to know if I need to get an adapter or not. Bestbuy has an adapter that has a USB C on one end, and an HDMI, USB C, and USB A port on the other end.
