Review on 🔌 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 Lonnie Batch

I received my new Satechi V2 Aluminum Multiport Adapter today and I absolutely love it! I researched USB-C hubs for over a month, looked through and read hundreds of reviews, and finally settled on Satechi based on features and price. Other hubs with all of these options are easily twice the size, larger, and require a battery, which was the deciding factor for me. The Satechi adapter has a very slim and minimal design and the Space Gray color matches my MacBook Pro 2017 perfectly. I use it to connect an Apple USB keyboard, LaCie Rugged external USB drive, Wacom Intuos Pro tablet, an ASUS 23, 5 inch display (1920 x 1080) at 60 Hz and an Ethernet cable for the Internet. They stay connected throughout the day and work flawlessly. It is important to note that it is warm, not hot, in Satechi for most of the day. However, it only gets a bit warm when I'm doing an hourly backup to my LaCie Rugged external hard drive. I haven't tried Power Delivery as I don't need it, so maybe that's why others are getting hot. My only concern is that the USB-A ports are upside down and it can be difficult to connect a USB device to them. You can hear metal scraping when you plug it into the USB-A ports, but maybe that tight fit is a good thing. I plan to update my review in 2-4 weeks, to confirm the reliability and quality of the amazing (so far) Satechi V2 Aluminum Multiport Adapter.:::::Updated 16 June 2018::::: I've been using the Satechi adapter every day for three months and it works great. My only real complaint at the moment is that HDMI can be a bit unreliable. If you accidentally move the Satechi too much or hit it, the HDMI connection will be broken and you will then have to disconnect and reconnect the adapter to your computer. A bit annoying, but not too bad. Also, it took me a while to figure out how to get HDMI to work stably with my external monitor. I'm using a 2017 MacBook Pro and you have to open the lid and wait for the login screen to appear, before turning on the monitor. For some reason, Satechi's HDMI port doesn't immediately recognize my MacBook Pro and monitor upon boot. I would rather just turn on the monitor and MacBook Pro and not wait for the monitor to turn on. It took me a while to figure out how to get HDMI to work stably with my external monitor.
