Review on Tovatec Aluminum Thunderbolt Pass Through Charging by Brian Douglas

Revainrating 4 out of 5

. 2016/2017 13/15 inch laptops work fine and is a great adapter for the price

Price point Space Gray color goes well with 2016 13 inch Macbook Pro in Space Gray with Touch Bar. It matches pretty much on top of the Macbook Pro, has a small 1/2mm thick gap and offers functionality without bulk. or clutter and fits neatly into any tote or laptop bag without adding weight, bulkiness or cables. Ports 3.0 work as expected. I tried the SD card to upload photos from the camera, it works. I didn't use micro SD but I'm sure it works. And yes we have Thunderbolt 3 and USB C - they look the same, the one next to the HDMI is Lightning and the other is USB C. I like that the HDMI port is on the back of the adapter, it really helps close attach it to the monitor from the back, not the side. Of course, one of them supports pass-through charging to charge your Macbook Pro, the other doesn't. Everything worked in terms of connections, internet speed, loading speed. Some business people may need an Ethernet jack. Personally, I find that all businesses have WiFi these days and I don't see a need for it. I would rather pay less and not have it.

Pros
  • Multiple competitors
Cons
  • unreliable
