Not suitable for VGA and HDMI at the same time! Do not buy!

That is crap ! What they didn't mention is that you CANNOT connect VGA and HDMI ports at the same time - they're too close together and the bulky VGA cable head won't fit when using an HDMI port. So disappointing! What good is a hub if you can only connect one? I will definitely return it

Pros
  • WIDE DEVICE COMPATIBILITY: This USB-C travel dock is compatible with USB-C and Thunderbolt 3 (TB3) devices such as HP Specter and EliteBook, Dell XPS, Lenovo Yoga, MacBook Pro and MacBook Air, and Chromebook
Cons
  • High Price

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Quite expensive but worth it

I was very worried to find the right adapter ; Most of the reviews I saw were either very good or very bad. I use it to connect my Wacom Cintiq 16 to my 2019 MacBook Pro. I've been using this product daily for about three weeks and have only used two connections at a time (USB port and HDMI) and have never had any latency issues. There were a few times where I accidentally hit my laptop and knocked out the cable, resulting in both screens flashing black for half a second, but nothing extremeโ€ฆ

Pros
  • WIDE OPERATING SYSTEM COMPATIBILITY: The USB Type-C Multiport Digital AV Adapter is fully compatible with major operating systems such as Windows, macOS, Ubuntu and Chrome OS
Cons
  • Was damaged

Works as advertised with a 12 " Macbook, but check your computer's specs first.

USB-C devices are sometimes hit or miss, but this one seems to do what it says on the tin - power and accommodate a small laptop with HDMI, Gigabit Ethernet, and two USB 3.0 ports. Although it Being limited to wired USB 3.0 speeds (i.e. only 5 gigabits per second of total available bandwidth), I was able to successfully drive a 1080p display by pushing data over Ethernet and running the test drive speed on one of the USB ports. It was load balanced but overall performance was as expectedโ€ฆ

Pros
  • PORTABLE 4-IN-1 DOCK PLATE. 1 x 5Gb/s GbE port for laptops, tablets and smartphones with USB-C
Cons
  • Unbelievable Price
