Review on πŸ”Œ Vilcome 8-in-1 USB C Hub Adapter: 4K HDMI, SD/TF Card Reader, Ethernet, 3 USB 3.0 Ports, 87W Power Delivery - MacBook Pro, iPad Pro 2019/2018, Pixelbook, XPS, and More by Chris Cooper

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Updated rating: Trash. Overheated. Constantly connects/disconnects from what is connected to it.

After using it for a while I would look elsewhere. This adapter is cheap, gets very hot when only one of the USB ports is in use, and is completely unstable. I plugged an ethernet cable into it today to use for an online meeting and it will say Connected, Not Connected and jump between them. Changing the port the adapter was plugged into gave the same results. I plugged my Kindle into one of the USB ports and it kept connecting and disconnecting. It's a lightly used adapter, so it didn't go through a press or anything. I ended up having to use a cheap, unbranded, plastic USB-A Ethernet adapter that I connected to my Wii U using the USB-CA adapter in my laptop. This contraption worked perfectly, and this $30 adapter is useless. A: I really needed one of these, and the ones that don't have a cord and only plug into the computer from the side looked much better, but I've read and heard so many comments about problems with them that I chose these have decided. It gets the job done, but with only one USB dongle plugged in for my wireless trackball, it gets VERY hot until I unplug it and use the trackpad for a while. I used the HDMI port to connect a second monitor and again it got very hot. Don't be wild about it.
