StayGo USBC Travel: Twelve South's Ultimate Solution for Portable USB-C Connectivity Review

So far so good. Everything works fine but I've seen others doubt SD and MMC and I've tried both and both don't recognize formatted media!?!? So far this works fine on my MacBook Pro 16 (2019). I will try HDMI and Ethernet soon. Two lengths of USB-C cable is just what I needed, especially when I put the laptop on a stand (other USB-C hubs hang in midair and pose a hazard). Updated: On a 2019 MacBook Air, this drains the battery!?!?!?! Only 30W are consumed. I tried this with power connected to…

Although it has been claimed many times that this device has a 'gigabit' ethernet port, my extensive testing has shown this to be false. These devices have a 100 Mbit/s Ethernet port. Unfortunately they included this to reduce costs as it is older technology. Even the Raspberry Pi manages to produce with a gigabit port. A sub-$100 computer might include a 1Gbps Ethernet port, but not this hub. Otherwise, the HUB does its job, except for the possibility of charging the device with it. However…

When I received an email from Twelve South announcing the new StayGo USB-C hub, I was a bit skeptical as every tech company is touting their new device that will revolutionize the way content creators work . But I have to admit that Twelve South did everything right! From a well engineered product designed for use in the office or on the go, to the iconic 1m DETACHABLE cable and retractable travel cable, it has become my go-to hub for my MacBook Pro and Apple. Cinema Display and also use it…

Short conclusions on what does NOT work on iPad Pro 12.9" M1 2021: - No video via HDMI connector, uses a high quality cable that works fine on other devices and works Tried several options with no success - Pass-through charging "tried" to work, but did not work reliably despite using a charging box with a higher power (65W) than the standard - Access to USB flash Drives was inconsistent, some working, others not being recognized - although they were all formatted the same I really wanted to…

I only have about 24 hours but I have no hesitation in saying that this little one has exceeded my expectations. I have a Surface Pro 7 and was looking for an affordable dock that has power pass-through, acts as a USB hub, and can connect USB-C to HDMI without costing me a few hundred bucks. That fits the bill. The form factor is even smaller than I expected, which is a plus since I'm currently working with limited desk space, but it still has everything you need and feels surprisingly solid…

Aside from much more expensive hubs that include Thunderbolt 4 and USB-C ports, this is a good device for what it is does based on my experience with the 2020 Macbook Pro M1. I haven't had any bandwidth issues. It gets warm but not too hot. USB-A Power works without any problems. Since I don't have an HDMI monitor, I couldn't test it. I was surprised to find that the ethernet port connected at 100Mbps no matter what I tried (including forcing 1000Mbps mode in my Macbook's ethernet adapter…

I tested Ethernet ports, USB 3.0, phone charging, power delivery on the latest MacBook Pro (Intel). The tests were carried out over several weeks. The SD card reader and HDMI port have not been tested. Ethernet works as expected with gigabit connection speeds and a throughput of over 850 Mbit/s. The USB3.0 ports ran at speeds close to their rated speed of 5 Gb/s. USB3.0 devices connect at 3.0 speed every time (some USB hubs sometimes assign USB2.0 speeds to 3.0 devices). Pass-through power…

When I saw Twelve South launching a new USB-C dock with a minimalistic dongle, I had to jump on it as soon as I got a big one Fan of them was accessories. The hub arrived quickly and, as you'd expect, setup is as easy as any other USB-C dongle. The hub feels solid thanks to the aluminum body, and what I really like (and underestimate) is the 3m angled USB-C cable that almost sits flush with your laptop or tablet. This is another underrated feature as the angled design reduces all cable clutter…
