Thunderbolt 3 Macs can use USB-C accessories, but may lose
some of their extra bandwidth - T3's 40Gbps significantly outpaces USB-C's
5-10Gbps.
Similar to Apple's Lightning connector, USB-C doesn't have
to be plugged in at a certain orientation, which means that you can wave
bye-bye to the age-old USB guessing game of "Which way does it go
in?"
Few people have a full range of USB-C or Thunderbolt 3 gear,
so you'll likely need a USB-C hub to add different ports to your Mac.
In general, an "adapter" works with a single port (such as USB-A or Ethernet) while a "hub" gives you multiple ports. If you require even more, then look for a "dock" or "docking station". best monitor under 15000
