Works as described and easy to use.

Works as it should. Its elegant design makes it very convenient to connect at home if you travel regularly. Connect your home peripherals (e.g. HDMI monitor, USB hub, USB-c power port) to your document, and when you're home, simply plug your document into one side of the MBP. * If you insert a document on the right side of your MBP, you will see the logo and port IDs, but it will block your audio port. If you have home speakers that require a 3.5mm headphone jack, you can connect the docking…

My optimized setup helped

I got a new 13" MBP with touchpad and I didn't want to get confused by buttons and adapters. My old setup with a 2016 15" MBP had a lot of cables on one Side of the laptop as multiple monitors and USB hubs were used.This helps to replicate my multi monitor setup but makes it easy by simply plugging this hub into the side of the laptop.HDMI works great.The second monitor needs to be routed through the TB3 port along with the power. To do this I use Choetech USB-C HDMI with a power supply cable…

Brilliant! If you're having trouble with Wi-Fi, read on below!

Just received this after returning a similar HyperDrive USB-C hub. This doesn't seem to have the issue of dropping the Wi-Fi connection. Anyone experiencing this issue should be aware that this is a hub that emits radio frequencies that interfere with 2.4GHz WiFi. If you connect to 5GHz there should be no problem. Even if you're using a hub on the opposite side of your MacBook Pro, this shouldn't be a problem. Again, I don't have that problem with this wonderful product. Will definitely update…

Works sometimes, like, like, maybe. But not good enough. . .

I bought two. They look good, but after a few months one failed: the HDMI port stopped working. I contacted Satechi support and they sent me a new one. However, both are now too unreliable for daily use: My external hard drives just randomly shut down without touching anything. This happens multiple times a day and drives me insane. Also, inserting and reading the SD card had about the same odds as playing the lottery, which is why I usually use an external SD card reader. Revane's return…

The Best Adapter for Macbook Pro

At first I wanted to return it after reading the reviews. Mine seems to be in perfect condition, no problems. It easily attaches to either side and properly tilts to the side of the laptop. The color may vary slightly, but if you close your computer and look down at the curved surface from above, it matches almost perfectly. Mine didn't eat memory cards, but unless you're stupid enough to put them in there I don't see how you could have this problem. The video output works well with my external

My simplified setup helped

I got a new 13 inch MBP with a touchpad and didn't want to get confused by dongles and adapters. My old setup with a 2016 15" MBP had a lot of cables on one side of the laptop due to the use of multiple monitors and USB hubs. This helps replicate my multi-monitor setup but makes it easy by simply plugging this hub into the side of the laptop. HDMI works great. The second monitor must be routed through the TB3 connector along with the power supply. To do this, I use Choetech USB-C HDMI with a…

  • USB hubs
Cons
  • disappear

I have a black protective sleeve that needed to be filed slightly on the left side. It should fit snugly against the side of the laptop. So depending on which protective case you have, you may need to ensure that the ENTIRE length of the device fits snugly against the Macbook. At the same time, its space gray color matches the color of the laptop, which is surprising. It uses 2 USB ports but has 2 USB-C ports and an HDMI output cable that works fine on my 4K TV. It has 2 USB 3.1 ports, a memory
