Review on πŸ’₯ Nekteck Active Thunderbolt 3 Cable - Thunderbolt 3 Certified 6.6ft (100W 40Gbps) for New MacBook Pro, Acer Aspire Switch, Dell XPS & More by Warrick Dembo

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Speeds are as advertised but are "sensitive "

EDIT: NekTeck contacted me after they posted their review and reminded me the cable was covered by a replacement warranty and immediately sent me a replacement. After about 5 days of testing, this cable is much more stable during use and doesn't lose connection when I move the laptop around my desk (sometimes I close it and put it on a vertical stand to use it with a monitor). I have upgraded my rating to 5 stars because the cable works as expected AND I appreciate the level of service I received. Original: I use this cable with my XPS 13 (9370) and Gigabyte AORUS eGPU and it mostly works. I can get full eGPU speed and it's great. However, the cable is very sensitive. If I move the laptop or just bump into a cable, the eGPU gets disabled and I have to reinstall it. After troubleshooting both devices for an extended period of time and using multiple cables to test, I decided that both devices are fine, unfortunately it's a $60 cable.
