Much better than all plastic picks

Much better than all plastic picks. I had a plastic one that lasted about 3-4 months and this sturdy monster is getting strong now, but you can tell how tough it is just by holding it in your hands.

Pros
  • Delivery was very fast
Cons
  • Not as thick as other picks

It worked fine right off my surface

It worked fine right off my surface. However, I really wanted it to work from my Surface Dock. Microsoft doesn't say anything in the product information, but you might find on the support forums that they recommend an active adapter. It didn't work at first so I tried two active adapters but they didn't work either. After a lot of fiddling around (mainly with the Surface Dock, but I think this adapter also had some switching issues), I finally figured it out. where everything works when I sign…

Pros
  • Nice
Cons
  • Good but not great

A very economical solution.

I used two of these to run dual monitors on a 2015 MacbookPro for almost a year. Please note: I use two, one for each built-in Thunderbolt port, each adapter only works with one monitor. I've recently used a standard HDMI connection elsewhere and found that it slows down the computer significantly, even for a single monitor, compared to using that single monitor or dual to dual monitor adapter. I was surprised that the system ran faster with two of those two monitors than with one monitor…

Pros
  • Looking forward to
Cons
  • I vaguely remember

Light. Smooth. Exactly what you need!

Perfect, just what I need! Used it for a large presentation the day after receiving it with no hiccups. Recognized my laptop and cable straight away and projected to the screen straight away. Great product and looks very stylish, love the blue color. Definitely recommend!

Pros
  • Easy installation
Cons
  • The list will be long.

Didn't work!: Computer Accessories and Peripherals

I did boot camp and tried everything to get this to work with my HP laptop for work. Caused far more frustration than necessary. Finding instructions was pretty difficult! Couldn't find them, their website was inconvenient for users.

Pros
  • Free for Education
Cons
  • Expensive Insurance

Mech with a 2011 MacBook Pro, will not work with 2015

This adapter worked fine but the build quality was odd as there was a gap between the white plastic bezel and the (aluminium) silver matte case. which I think allows dirt to get into the adapter. The lightning connector was very difficult to plug in and unplug and the up direction was not marked. I haven't been able to verify HDMI is 4K capable because when I hooked it up to a Vizio 4K TV the best output from the computer was regular 1080P HD even at 30Hz. This may be related to macOS Sierra…

Pros
  • Cool
Cons
  • Fast OK

Worked on computer accessories and peripherals for a month

Worked well for the first month. Now I am having a very hard time getting my VGA monitor to work. I have a Surface Pro 4 and have no issues with my HDMI monitor dock, so I know it's not my motherboard/graphics card or input. I've also hooked up my VGA monitor to other computers with no problems, so it's not the monitor or the cable. I just can't connect it to the CableDeconn aluminum adapter anymore, which worked great for the first month of use.

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Useless features
