Stops working after 2 months

Use it to connect a 12 inch MacBook to a monitor. I particularly liked the pass-through charging, which allows you to charge your laptop while it's connected to a monitor. The first few months and then the screen started flickering endlessly - blinking between the working display and black (no connection). This went on for hours so that the plug became unusable. Tried unplugging HDMI cable but that didn't help. Seems to be a loose connection and I don't want to reconfigure too much lest Iโ€ฆ

More ports with style

Well made, the gold color matches my MacBook and the slim profile keeps my wfh studio nice and tidy. I've used it to connect a second monitor and add a USB drive as well as pass power. I love my 12 inch MacBook but it only has one USB-C port and that's it. It was great for what I bought it for, but then CoVid came along and I had to use my MacBook in a very different way. This multiport adapter makes the job so much easier and it looks good too! It's been like this for 3 months now and I'm very

Best I've tried so far

Best I've tried so far. Works well with my Dell UltraSharp U3011 - 30" via HDMI to DVI cable. Just using regular HDMI isn't as good as the resolution for some reason, but so was Apple's proprietary adapter, and I think I should be able to get by with the Macbook itself. I like having an extra USB port , but there is a downside. The USB ports do not have enough power to run the Apple CD Superdrive. The Apple adapter, with only one USB, could power it. USB ports work, although for external hardโ€ฆ

I just broke my new computer!

Received this today for my new Apple Macbook Air which I received a few days ago. I connected the HDMI port to the TV and started watching a movie on the TV. I then decided to plug in my old Macbook (which I currently print to, it works great) to transfer my data to the new Macbook. So I took a good USB cable and plugged it into this adapter and the other end into this Macbook and my BRAND NEW computer died right there and I can't boot it. I've tried holding down the power button for 10 seconds

Pros
  • Great selection
Cons
  • Some imperfections

Great Device!: Computer Accessories and Peripherals

I'm using this on my 2020 MacBook Air. Works great. I use one Thunderbolt 3 port for my external SSD and the other for this Satechi adapter. I'm using the USB-C port for a MacBook plug adapter (because it's only used for power, not data transfer). Two USB A ports that I use for flash drives, charging Bluetooth headphones, or syncing an iPad or iPhone (you can't use the USB A ports to charge an iPad or iPhone, but if it's at least 80 % is charged, you can transfer data). Others have found theโ€ฆ

It's very well made, not heavy but feels solid

First, it's very nicely finished, not heavy but looks solid. Aluminum beautifully made by Satechi. Now let's move on to my testing and reflections on 3 stars. Seems to work great with the official Apple charger as well as the Anker Premium 5-Port USB Wall Charger 60W PowerPort + 5 USB-C with Power Delivery for Apple MacBook. Big! Other docks don't seem to support the Anker charger, but this one does. My USB drives seem to work fine, I haven't tried mechanical USB drives, but I don't see a power
