Feel free to buy, for such a price, the quality is simply amazing.

In spite of the fact that I placed an order for the model seen in the photo (or at least I thought I did), I was sent its younger sibling. The picture displays the 8 in 1 version, but I only received the 6 in 1 (Minus Connectors for SD and TF). I didn't waste any time and called Pleer. After contacting Ru support to inquire about the possibility of exchanging things, I was given responses to all of my queries; yet, I still opted to inspect what I had been sent. After using it for the entirety…

Pros
  • - A nice design - Materials - No backlash - A "Pocket" to conceal the connector - A good read/write speed - A fast read/write speed
Cons
  • It was not found.

Performs its functions, nothing unusual.

Has pros: Works with Macbook, charges and powers all ports. I connect an external sound card, midi keyboard and mouse. Cons: It will emit the most nasty ultrasound when connected to the USB Port of power, charging from a macbook

Reliable purchase, guaranteed to be a good purchase.

I got what I wanted: a wired Ethernet adapter, without reducing the number of available ports on the laptop, and as a bonus, a second video output. All this is workable. Very satisfied.

Pros
  • The functionality of a full-fledged docking station. An active USB hub, the laptop power supply simultaneously powers both this device and the laptop itself. High-speed wired Ethernet adapter. external video card.
Cons
  • Didn't reveal.

Nice mini docking station

This little device allows me to connect Ethernet and HDMI to my MacBook Pro with a single USB-C or Thunderbolt 3 cable. Works well. My only complaint is that it doesn't have a 3.5mm audio jack for connecting external speakers. If you don't have a Thunderbolt-capable monitor and need an Ethernet connection, this will help without taking up a lot of space. A very good option so far.

Pros
  • High test scores for support and durability
Cons
  • Volume

Perfect dock and perfect size

This is exactly what I was looking for in a dock. Video, network and some USB ports. Then, with a simple USB-C connection on the front, it goes straight to my computer and I'm plugged back in and getting back to work. It's that little cube that won't take up any space on your table. There's no need to have a huge, expensive dock with a bunch of stuff you barely use and take up space. We recommend getting a 1ft Revain Basics USB-C cable for a quick connection to your laptop and a clean look so…

Pros
  • Solid build
Cons
  • Quality

Works well with Macbook Pro 2017 and Ultra Wide Monitor

This is a fantastic little USB-C hub, good for connecting a laptop to a monitor. Honestly, I couldn't be happier with this product. Plain and small!

Pros
  • Everything great!
Cons
  • Not as thick as other options

Works well and looks good

Very good product that does exactly what it says on the tin. It looks good and doesn't take up space on your desktop. The only issue I had was the inability to turn off or dim the blue light around the base of the product. While it looks good at first glance, it can be overly bright if you turn off the lights for whatever reason. Otherwise I would buy again and I have done so.

Pros
  • Complete set
Cons
  • Damaged

Just what you need

Works great. Love the small design and the blue accent lights. I would recommend using something to secure it to the table as the weight of the cables tends to pull on it and tilt it a bit. We used small velcro dots.

Pros
  • Nice thing
Cons
  • Long wait

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Compact, beautiful design. The power supply is larger than a cube. No power delivery via USB-C.

Beautifully designed for discreet storage on your desk. The blue light is a nice touch. The included power supply is larger than the cube itself. There is no power supply. So if you're using it on a laptop with a single USB-C port, you'll need to use a different way to charge the laptop.

Pros
  • Great Price
Cons
  • Blank

The best Mac accessory I have!

Wow! This little cube rocks! So cute on my desk and it does so much for so little. My Mac laptop enjoys this desktop companion! Buy It Now!

Pros
  • Useful not only for its intended purpose
Cons
  • Big and bulky

Compact, beautiful design. The power supply is larger than a cube. No power delivery via USB-C.

Nice design to sit discreetly on your desk. The blue light is a nice touch. The included power supply is larger than the cube itself. There is no power supply. So if you're using it on a laptop with a single USB-C port, you'll need to use a different way to charge the laptop.

Pros
  • COMPACT DESIGN. The small cube form factor saves valuable desktop space on any workstation. The slim design makes this lightweight docking station (130 g) ideal for travel, quick setup at conferences or easy connection in the conference room.
Cons
  • Out of fashion

If you don't have a Thunderbolt-capable monitor and need an Ethernet connection, this will help without taking up a lot of space. A very good option so far.

Pros
  • PERFORMANCE. With VESA DisplayPort Alternate Mode over USB-C ("Alternate Mode" technology), the Cube creates a direct pipeline to your GPU. Enjoy source-level display performance up to the capabilities of the host system's GPU.
Cons
  • So far, so good

Pros
  • USB-C COMPATIBLE. Notebooks must be equipped with a USB-C port that supports DisplayPort Alternate Mode. Examples are 2018 MacBook Pro, 12" MacBook Retina, Microsoft Surface Book 2, HP Specter x360 13", Dell XPS (9360, 9560, 9370, 9380). Note. Doesn't charge connected laptop.
