Review on Enhanced USB C Magnetic Adapter and Type C to USB Connector– 2-Pack, 100W Quick Charge with Right Angle Support and Faster Data Transfer - Compatible with MacBook Pro/Air/Type C Devices by Steve Brethorst

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Full functionality when using USB-C Dock with 1920x1080 display and gigabit ethernet

I took a chance and bought this when there were only 5 reviews and it has worked well so far ! First, I think USB-C is a terrible connector on a laptop - charging the interface for a docking station is only possible when your laptop is in the stationary state. As soon as you move your laptop, you will see a curve in the interface. and that can be worrying! As a consumer electronics designer, this connector combined with the robust cables makes me **cringe**. The only way to mitigate this is to use a magnetic connector. I'm writing this review using my laptop connected to gigabit ethernet and a 1920x1080 display. Power and ground are in the right place to keep my laptop from exploding. when I plugged it in, phew! - Ethernet comparison shows they are almost the same: 938 Mbit/s with adapter, 940 Mbit/s without, yes! - HD videos played from YouTube work fine. The plug gets hot because it contains electronics. I would love to take it apart and see what's inside! :)
