Anker USB C Hub PowerExpand+ 7-in-1 Adapter, 4K HDMI, 100W Power Delivery, USB-C, 2 USB-A 5Gbps Data Ports, microSD & SD Card Reader, MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, XPS, and More Review

I have a 2019 16" Macbook Pro that costs $5,000 after tax (64GB RAM, 2TB, max CPU). This MacBook was in the repair shop for two months. After purchase, all ports cannot be powered, and therefore the computer is discharged and unusable. Repairs are covered by AppleCare, but imagine - third-party data recovery isn't covered by AppleCare (Apple says they care too much about privacy to offer this service -_-). And data recovery is necessary because the Genius Bar representative told me that if…
