Review on πŸ’» Cable Matters USB C Hub with HDMI 4K, 80W Charging, Gigabit Ethernet, and 3X USB in Black - Thunderbolt 4/USB4/Thunderbolt 3 Compatible Dock for Surface Pro 7, MacBook Pro, Dell XPS by John Swain

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Update: Worked for a month and stopped charging

Update 2: Got a replacement from Revain. The replacement charges the laptop, but some USB accessories don't work when plugged in (tried both USB ports). I decided to try the original adapter again and now it charges my laptop but only when the USB-C cable is plugged in one way. If you rotate it, it stops working. I'm leaving 2 stars for now because the original adapter works. Will update when the laptop stops loading again. All in all I am very disappointed with this product. Update 1: This adapter worked great for about 5 weeks, but today it stopped charging my laptop. I know it's not an AC adapter as it works great when plugged directly into a laptop. Very disappointing. I love this adapter but if it doesn't charge my laptop it's pretty much useless to me. Initial review: I'm using it on a 2018 15" Macbook Pro to connect an external 27" monitor, Ethernet cable, USB hub, M-Audio M-Track, and Anker USB-C Plug in a third party charger and it works fine. It's so nice to only have to worry about plugging and unplugging a cable for everything. My only real complaint is that the portion of the cable that connects to the laptop is a bit short and doesn't reach under my desk to the laptop. This was an easy fix by purchasing a short USB-C extension cable that cost less than $10, so the overall solution was still less than $50. It's hard to beat!

Pros
  • Pleasant to use
Cons
  • Definitely bad product
