Revainrating 5 out of 5

Small size. Fits well and is very functional. Recommended accessory for Macbook Pro or Air!

works very well. I decided to try this device after returning another one that was about two millimeters higher than the bottom of my laptop (and it scratched the sides every time I closed the lid of my Macbook Pro). This hub fits perfectly. This is the exact height of the base or part of the keyboard of my Macbook Pro, meaning the lid can be closed without getting in the way. I've tried all the connections at the same time and one at a time and haven't encountered any problems. One of the USB-C ports allows for charging, the other is for data. Now a note on size. Due to the small size, at least two of my cables (HDMI and USB 3.1 cables) don't fit all the way in. It didn't seem to affect performance in any way, the HDMI plugged in right away and it also recognized the external drive on the USB 3.1 port. You get a very small and handy size and I think some of the cables are too long to fully fit which again doesn't affect functionality at all. It has a nice little LED that lets you know it's plugged in and stays on pretty well when cables are removed. I have found that with all of these hubs you have to hold onto a taut cable when you pull the cable out or it will come out of the computer. Although this was to be expected. This unit is also less flimsy when plugged in than I experienced with the larger unit I had to return. If you don't need a card reader and your goal is USB 3.1, USB-C (Thunderbolt) and HDMI, this is a great hub. . It costs a little more than some of the sub-$25 devices, but I find the extra cost well worth it. Good quality, small size that fits my Macbook Pro perfectly and very functional. Worth buying recommendation!
