Review on CharJenPro USB C Hub For IPad Pro Networking Products by Virgilio Patton

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Works better than expected

I was very nervous about buying this as I had previously tried a third party dock/hub for my Macbook and it didn't work at all. I have a MacBook Pro with only 2 USBC ports and a headphone jack, but I wanted to be able to connect my laptop to 2 external displays as well as a USB mouse. I definitely recommend a hub that is only connected to ONE of your ports. I plugged this hub into my power port and the charging cable into the USBC port on the end of the hub (marked for charging) and it worked great. I really like that this hub has an HDMI port because I could connect a monitor directly to the hub (instead of using HDMI-USBC). USB mouse works great too! I haven't tested other ports, but based on current experience I don't see a problem (I'll come back and edit it if there is one). I really like that this hub has so many ports. It really adds so much functionality to this laptop. Also, the pink hub looks really weirdly colored in the list on the web, but my hub looks just as pink as a lot of iOS devices (if you want to match). I would like to point out one more important thing. Please note that the HDMI connection works without any problems. He immediately connected the monitor and made the laptop feel it immediately. I can disconnect the hub or close the laptop and use the monitor again with no problem. I say this because the other monitor has an HDMI cable that connects to an HDMI to USBC converter that connects to a different USBC port. This connection drops regularly and causes problems. So if you're trying this, I'd recommend an HDMI cable on one end and a USBC cable on the other (so no converter needed).
