Review on StayGo USBC Travel: Twelve South's Ultimate Solution for Portable USB-C Connectivity by Frank Harwood

When I saw Twelve South launching a new USB-C dock with a minimalistic dongle, I had to jump on it as soon as I got a big one Fan of them was accessories. The hub arrived quickly and, as you'd expect, setup is as easy as any other USB-C dongle. The hub feels solid thanks to the aluminum body, and what I really like (and underestimate) is the 3m angled USB-C cable that almost sits flush with your laptop or tablet. This is another underrated feature as the angled design reduces all cable clutter and tucks neatly behind or under the laptop when using the BookArc dock. The inclusion of an integrated USB-C cable in the Travel Hub itself is a nice touch as it streamlines your travel kit as you don't have to carry around the included 3m cable. nothing new like a USB-C pass-through port and three USB-A ports (all high-speed) and an HDMI that powers a 4K monitor at up to 30Hz (get the Thunderbolt 3 -Dock if you want higher refresh rate and permissions). . Despite the great design and convenience of this hub, I wish it had an AUX audio output as it would make your desk setup even cleaner when you don't need to connect audio to the right side of my MacBook Pro. A small note on the ideal hub solution. Update: 01/21/2020 My USB-C hub stopped working reliably a few months ago, but today it has finally deteriorated. My HDMI port works (although it took a few tries to get it working), but I'm not getting power and my external USB drive that I use for Time Machine won't connect. I've filed a claim with the TwelveSouth warranty department and we'll see what happens. Update: February 19, 2020 Rules out that the laptop could be the problem based on my conversation with Twelve South support staff. I can say with confidence that my StayGo USB-C hub's throughput is inconsistent and unreliable. People at Twelve South and I have been told that StayGo will ship with new firmware in the future that should fix some inconsistent I/O issues. So far my plugin has been great and I think it has been fixed. March 26, 2020 As we all work from home, this dock works great and reliably with the latest firmware update I received from Twelve South. It works well with both my Dell work laptop and my 16 inch MacBook. Professional. I can take a second.
