WORKS WITH SURFACE BOOK

I'm happy to report that this adapter works great with Microsoft Surface Book with no modifications. I bought it along with a 128GB PNY memory card to increase the storage capacity of my 256GB i7 Core version of Microsoft Surface Book. Works flawlessly. The additional storage will appear as drive "E" and you can give it any name. The adapter sticks out a little, a fingernail is enough to pull it out. So it's not entirely flush, but it fits very well and goes well with the Surfacebook's design…

Pros
  • Excellent design
Cons
  • Updates

A Must Have Accessory for Surface Book

This little adapter works great with my new Surface Book. I easily upgraded my storage to 128GB. It protrudes only 2 mm from the side surface! the color of the exposed part is very similar to the magnesium surface. There's no way to trip it up. To pull it out you need a strong nail and move a little. MUCH better than a full 3/4" SD card sticking out. Why didn't Microsoft make (or ship with the computer!) such an accessory. I am using a Samsung Evo+ Micro SD UH1 128GB. Card and it's very fast…

Perfect for Time Machine backup on Macbook.

I used a USB drive for the Time Machine backup but didn't like that it was sticking out and taking up the USB port. I often take out a drive and forget to put it back in. So I got this adapter and a 256GB micro SD card. This adapter fits my Late 2010 13" Macbook Air (A1369) perfectly and you won't even notice it's there. I can leave it on all the time and Time Machine backs up my data every hour. I recommend the same to everyone to do if his Macbook has an SD card slot.I used to work for Apple…

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Older model

This is probably the only right way to install the built in micro SD memory card on a MacBook Pro series laptop . Be sure to purchase the correct version for your specific MacBook model. Even if it's a bit expensive, it goes very well with your MacBook Pro. When fitted, it seals completely with the case so nothing can be damaged. Although my Macbook is supposed to fit an SDXC card, the 128GB micro memory card I'm using only shows 64GB for unknown reasons. It is identified as SDXC and exFAT…

Pros
  • Best in its niche
Cons
  • Very expensive

Extends the life and usefulness of my MBA work.

Fits perfectly on my 13" MacBook Air. The adapter fits perfectly on the side and perfectly matches the aluminum color of the laptop. It fits snugly, but I can still remove the adapter with my fingernail. No Tools required I had no trouble installing/disassembling I'm using Sierra 10.12 I'll probably discard some but so far it's been too minor to quantify This is a good addition to this computer This is a work computer and I must save a bunch of files locally. I like having this adapter to add…

  • Easy to read control panel

This item is perfect!

It was everything I hoped for. I'm a DJ and I needed a way to expand my MacBook Air's internal storage without opening it up and buying a more expensive version. This little device was the perfect answer to my first world problem. I ordered a large capacity microSDXC card and put my entire DJ music collection on it and it has been working flawlessly ever since. The drive is always recognized when the laptop boots up and the performance is spot on for my needs (this is obviously mostly down to…

Pros
  • Absolute Legend
Cons
  • Clarity

Almost perfectly fits Dell XPS15, 9560 laptop

I am so impressed with this micro SD adapter. Not only does it fit my Dell XPS15, 9560, but it's also very well made. It is much more expensive than other micro SD adapters. The card is slightly shorter (about 0.5mm) than the depth of the SD card slot (see attached photo) as it's not designed for the XPS15, 9560, but that's not a problem. No problem removing it from the laptop with a fingernail. The manufacturer has no plans to make a custom card adapter for the new Dell XPS15, 956-0, so you'll

Pros
  • Comfortable
Cons
  • Not as thick as other picks

Received a broken block and got a brush from BASEQI

My microSD card was only half inserted. I then contacted BASEQI about this problem and they accused me of inserting the card upside down as if I couldn't find the difference or hadn't tried both orientations before contacting them. They demanded that I send photographic proof that I inserted the card correctly. It then took 2 days for them to reply. The answer was that other customers didn't, and I was given a banal excuse. After a few more days of no response, I carefully opened the device and

Pros
  • Handsfree

Excellent product that met all expectations

Product works as advertised. But a few tips for a flawless experience: 1.) BaseQi makes different adapters for different computers. Not suitable for everyone. So this product works with 13" Airs but NOT with 11" Airs, Surfacebook or others. You must read VERY carefully and choose accordingly. Basically, the product sits neatly and discreetly on my early 2015 13-inch MacBook Air. And it's pleasing to the eye (ie, looks good) 2.) Some 'negative reviews' say the product can burn MicroSD . It's…

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Useless features
