Review on πŸ”Œ Falwedi 7-in-2 USB-C Hub with Thunderbolt 3: MacBook Pro Adapter for 4K@30Hz HDMI, 100W PD, Ethernet, USB 3.0, SD/TF Card Reader by Derek Pape

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Almost perfect solution for network products

Four and a half stars if possible. The material, layout and use of this device is top notch. I really liked this design, it matched the MBP rather than the key. I tested it with multiple devices connected at the same time and had no problems. The USB ports are spaced far apart (depending on the size of what you're plugging in) so the two USB devices I tested could be plugged in at the same time, your mileage may vary. Fast reading from all ports (USB, two SD slots). I didn't check the HDMI connection as it's not a priority for me. The only thing I like about the device is that it gets hot, I mean HOT! It never seems to affect the use of the product, attachments or MBP but be careful not to touch them. To their credit, either in the description or in the accompanying literature. FALWEDI warned of this. The second issue that bothers me and me more, and that might just be me, is that when I added the adapter to the MBP when it was already on, the WiFi connection got disrupted. If I already plugged in the adapter and then let it run, everything was fine. I need the ethernet port that the adapter has, but I don't use it all the time. Finally, the adapter must fit completely into the MBP case to work. So if you have a case or cover (like me) you need to change that. The lid I had was plastic so I just cut off the interfering parts of the lid on the side as well as some of the top lid so it doesn't bang when the lid is opened. Very slight and looks like the cover was designed that way. Will buy again if I ever need one again and would recommend to others.

Pros
  • Quick change
Cons
  • Upgradeable
