Great little device

Compact, stylish, affordable and functional - not what I expected when I was looking for a way to connect all my USB-A connected devices to my new MacBook Pro 13 " but that's exactly what I needed. What I found. While it's a little light in the hand, the aluminum body is a bit impressive, and while it doesn't quite match the aesthetics of the device you're most likely using it on i.e.: Apple laptops, it Of course you don't feel it.What appealed to me about this particular device and not other dongles or adapters is that it doesn't have a cord for the .dongle to dangle from. I've had many devices and cables that have failed over the years from overuse and overpriced cables, so I really want to avoid this with an accessory that I plan to use for a long time h plug it in and it works, no fuss. Charging my laptop through the USB Type-C port works the same as using the port on the computer itself, and the USB Type 3.0 ports work as advertised. The SD and MicroSD slots are also a definite bonus. If there's one thing I'd be wary of, it's continuous travel. I'm a photographer so I expect to take this dongle with me wherever I take my laptop, so the ease of assembly makes me a bit concerned - slipping it into a small cloth sleeve like you dice store should be enough to put it in To protect your bags and pockets. While it's tempting to just leave it in your laptop, I absolutely do not recommend leaving it plugged in if you're carrying your computer in a bag or backpack. While this unit fits snugly in the MacBook case, it still wobbles a bit, which can damage the ports if stored improperly. at the $19.99 price I paid for it. I doubt I'll need another USB hub for much longer.

Pros
  • Great value for money
Cons
  • Reliable
