Review on πŸ”Œ Satechi Aluminum Multi-Port Adapter V2 for 2020 MacBook Air/Pro - 4K HDMI, Gigabit Ethernet, USB-C Charging, SD/Micro Card Readers, USB 3.0 - Space Gray by Jessie Ritchie

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Kind of work, damaged my Apple USB-C charging cable

Good first time - USB ports seem to work, Ethernet seems to work, HDMI seems to work. So everything works. Now for the bad - the ethernet port size is slightly different - my cable won't connect (works on any other computers or adapters I've used). I have to weigh the cable down and then block the hub to keep the cable from coming loose - the pass-through charging is too low to be useful. I have a 2018 MacBook Pro i9; The first day I used this hub (and the only day I tried pass-through charging), in the evening macos warned me that my laptop was about to shut down. I didn't notice the battery draining slowly throughout the day because the power consumption is very low. The pass-through charge port is incredibly sealed. It somehow deformed/bent/damaged my new Apple USB-C charging cable connector and now the connector isn't connecting properly to anything. It still connects and charges my computer, but if the laptop moves at all the cable will likely come loose since it won't snap into place.

Pros
  • Elegant design
Cons
  • Long delivery time
