Review on Tiergrade 8 in 1 USB C Hub: 4K HDMI, Power Delivery, SD TF Card Reader, USB C Port + More for MacBook & Type C Devices by Cory Mosley

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good HDMI-enabled USB-C extender

Overall this is a very good USB-C hub to use on both PC (tested on Lenovo Yoga 900) and Mac (MacBook Pro) works fine. Special features: - The dongle offers a very secure connection to a USB-C port on a computer. A flexible 6.25-inch cable connects the USB-C entry point to the hub, allowing for use in a variety of orientations relative to the computer. The hub can also be easily hung in the air from the computer - HDMI ready - 2 USB Type-A 3.0 ports (transferring data to a slim 2TB Seagate hard drive was as fast as connecting directly to a laptop ) - 1 USB Type-C - USB-C power port for charging (but will require a separate USB-C cable and probably a high-power power adapter, depending on your computer. But it's still great to have that option, the standard power adapter of the Lenovo Yoga 900 is only for this option, so I only need a 65w PSU) - Nice extra features (wireless charging, audio jack, card reader) - Great felt sleeve with dedicated cable pocket. Limitations: - Although the computer's USB-C port is very secure, there is a 0.5" protrusion that can block access to a nearby port on your computer - only 1 display port and only HDMI. I tried plugging my own VGA-to-USB adapter into the hub's USB-C port. Windows detected a VGA display but got an error saying "Make sure your display adapter is compatible with my computer". Overall definitely a very good USB hub!
