Review on Sabrent 8-in-1 USB Type-C Hub: HDMI (4K) Output, 3x USB 3.0 Ports, 1x USB 2.0 Port, SD/MicroSD Multi-Card Reader - 4K/Power Delivery Support by Brent Ayyagari

Worked great when I finally had it!

Apparently there was some confusion in my original delivery as I received Toyota hubcaps instead of this USB hub. Once sorted, I was happy with this hub. I got a MacBook Pro 13 from work. Apple made the decision to only provide two USB-C ports, meaning essentially everything needs an adapter or hub to connect to (I don't really understand their logic. While I understand, I disagree). This little hub has worked well for me so far to do what I need. I've used it to connect a mouse, power supply, USB headset, memory card, Android phone, and full-size SD card. No compatibility issues and loading through the hub seems to work fine. Additionally, the hardware appears to be built fairly solidly, including a 6-inch pigtail. A NOTICE. I haven't connected any monitors via the HDMI port, which seems problematic with this and similar devices. I will update my review as soon as I do. All in all a good device at a good price to solve Apple's bad design decision.

Pros
