Review on MacBook LIFUN Adapter Ethernet Multiport by Porfirio Newitt

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Pretty solid - for the 13 " MacBook Pro M1, read on!

I recently bought a 13" MacBook Pro A2338 M1 (the latest MacBook Pro at the time of testing). As a regular Windows user I'm used to multiple large monitors so I decided to buy this (for portability) and another $140 document to keep on my desk permanently Unfortunately another document, WAVLINK UG69PD1 ASIN: B07DCLK55V, which advertised support for two extended displays. The Mac only recognizes one external display, regardless of the configuration used for the connection. Also, there was a crash when reorienting the external monitor when the DisplayLink software was running. It also does not support the advertised gigabit LAN connection, which only achieves 30 MB/s on my internal network. This "dock" is seh r easy to use. If only one external display works on newer MacBooks, it works fine and supports realignment and pixel adjustment without crashing. In addition, it has 3 USB 3.0 ports and supports pass-through charging. I tested the Ethernet port and got the full throughput of my internal network at 500MB/s. I don't have any endpoints that require or support gigabit speeds, but I doubt it won't live up to the claims. The durable aluminum construction is worth the money and goes well with your MacBook. My only complaint is that it doesn't have legs, but it's not really their problem, it's mine because I have my MacBook Pro in it. To avoid future connection problems, I added transparent bumpers to the bottom of the case to support the weight of the thicker cables. I can't comment on the functionality of the SD or TF card readers as I haven't used them yet, but if there are any issues I'll update this review.
