Review on CableCreation USB-C Multiport 4K Adapter: Thunderbolt 3 Compatible, USB-C to USB 3.0/HDMI/VGA/Mini DisplayPort/Ethernet/Stereo/SD Card/Micro SD Card + USB-C Charge Adapter - Space Grey by Hector Liamsi

I run the IT department at a company that uses half a MacBook Pro. I was hesitant to buy USB-C Pro, but that doesn't bode well. So I bought a 13-inch TouchBar Pro and started buying accessories to test it out. Review: Although designed for a 12" MacBook, I decided to try it on my 13" TouchBar model. In general, I'm pleasantly surprised by his abilities. Compatibility with the 13-inch model isn't perfect, but it's pretty good. Although the small legs don't match, it supports the back perfectly. The dock is about an inch narrower than the 13-inch model, giving you half an inch up on each side. Problems If you need to tap on it, just slide it aside and let the computer stand on its feet. at a maximum resolution of 1920x1080), but I haven't gotten that to work (yet). I can't get VGA to work at all, while HDMI and mini-DP just seem to work as mirrors to each other. I've tested at a lower resolution, but my current setup works fine with a 2560 x 1440 monitor with mini DP output Power Supply: As far as I can tell, this dock requires 15W of power to operate. for Mac This means when you plug it into a 30W USB-C power adapter, the dock consumes 15W and sends the other 15W to the computer. I am using a 60w adapter that sends 45w to the computer. with an Apple 87W adapter, but only 45W arrive at the computer. Not perfect, but more than acceptable given the price and purpose. USB: There are three USB-A (3.0) ports on the back. Not much to say here, but one important and really cool feature is that when the dock is plugged into a power source, one of the three ports gets power, regardless of whether the Mac is plugged in or not. I leave my USB to Lightning cable plugged into this port to charge the Magic Mouse 2 when my computer and I are away from my desk. Very convenient. Miscellaneous: Ethernet, headphone jack and memory card reader deliver exactly what they promise. I like to keep my computer speakers plugged into the docking station and my headphones plugged into the computer itself. From there, you can just click the volume controls on your Mac and switch between speakers and headphones with a single click. Conclusion: buy. You can either buy one and deal with having to connect more than one USB-C cable to your MacBook Pro, or spend three times as much for a Thunderbolt 3 dock (that's just USB-C, not ThunderBolt).
