Worked for 3 months now useless

When ordering I was concerned that there was talk of it frying people's computers but I went ahead anyway as it's a mini DP -Connector includes (which is the main reason I bought it). Now the mini DP port doesn't work anymore. I have confirmed that the problem is not with my laptop, monitor or cable, so this device is the only one to blame. Don't buy, save yourself the hassle. Easy to pass through the return window

Pros
  • Perfect for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Long delivery time

month went well.

Bought to connect a 2019 MacBook Pro to a 27" 4k display. It worked fine for a month and then the display stopped detecting the signal coming from the Mac via the miniDP connection I can just connect other computers to the display, so it's not the cable or the display that's the problem.Also, the HDMI connection seems unreliable, losing connection or showing artifacts at 4k (even at 30Hz does the hub say it supports this). Now I'm looking for another solution.

Pros
  • Good workmanship
Cons
  • small things

Absolute doodle! for notebook accessories

Completely useless. If you connect more than 1 peripheral device/accessory to this hub, it will stop working. I can't even charge my MacBook Air because the power keeps going on and off. I can either get it to almost charge my computer (if I'm lucky), use it to charge a USB device (sometimes), or plug it into an HDMI display (with inconsistency), but nothing at the same time.

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Weak set

All-in-One: Docking Stations

This unit has allowed me to replace 5 different cables and external devices. I just leave them all connected to reduce the chance of losing my cables and not having them when I need them. It's powerful and I was afraid it would drain my laptop's battery life, but it doesn't drain it in any way.

Pros
  • Durable Surface
Cons
  • No

Great for high-resolution monitors

I have an ultra-wide, high-resolution display that other USB hubs I've tested couldn't support. It also has additional multi-monitor ports which I don't need. But the additional USB 3.0 ports are another plus. The only thing about this hub is that it is definitely bigger than other hubs. And while it might not look as smooth, it definitely fades once you get used to it. Also, your Mac will not tilt when plugged in.

Pros
  • Notebook accessory
Cons
  • Almost never

Fried 2 MacBook Air (M1)

I chose this USB-C dock because it was the only dock I could find with at least DisplayPort/Thunderbolt 2. At first it was great. After about 4 weeks of use, my MacBook Air (M1) display stopped working. I used a mini display port, 2 USB ports and a USB-C pass-through port for power. Hoping it was a MacBook Air issue, I replaced it with Costco and tried a second Air with that dock. By the second day, this MacBook Air was completely dead. This docking station seems to be frying my computers…

Pros
  • Electronics
Cons
  • Crumpled
