It only works in USB hubs

I bought this product because I wanted more than what the MacBook Pro gave me. I have 4 USB-C ports, but I keep making more. I edit videos: it can read micro SD and SD cards. I can download videos from a drone or an Osmo pocket (micro). Download from my mirrorless and DSLR cameras (SD card). I can charge items using either USB-C or USB. I connect external drives, phones to my MBPro. Haven't used HDMI yet, but everything else; I can connect and get started. I'm a little afraid because only USB-C

Quality Has Degraded

The quality of HyperDrive adapters has really deteriorated over the years. I had the original USB-C 7 port adapter which is still in great condition. I gifted this to a family member for their 2016 MacBook Pro 15" and only got compliments from them. Further on, the 2020 8-port adapter model started failing after a year. I am assuming this is a defect so I buy a new device as a replacement only to find out they sent me a used adapter. There were chips around the USB-C and HDMI ports as well asโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Made Brilliant
Cons
  • Useless Features

Just what I needed for the 2019 MacBook Air and 2010 LED movie screen

If you've been looking for something to connect your MacBook Air to an old style LED movie screen, this is the product just right for you! I bought 4 different keys and none of the keys I bought worked. Apparently, the USB-C chipset can't properly convert videos through the Mini DisplayPort. With all the dongles I've bought I haven't been able to get the maximum resolution of 1200x700. I've been using the workaround for a few days and am using the HDMI port for the mini display, but even withโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Looks good
Cons
  • So far so good

Pros
  • Computer Accessories & Peripherals
Cons
  • High Price

It feels premium, very portable and adds a ton of functionality to an expensive laptop that has become completely incompatible with almost all accessories /: Fit and feel looks good but USB 3.0 ports are very tight . It's quite difficult to disable accessories without disabling/breaking the entire document. If you have a case on your laptop, the depth of the product is shallow and will "float" above your desk, making it a bit suspect to use USB-C ports that support the full load. The load hasโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Electronics
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for the elderly

Almost everything you need in one compact package

This adapter/dongle is great for travel or remote work. I think it's much more convenient than looking in my pocket for a specific dongle e.g. a USB Type-C to USB Type-A adapter, or an SD card reader, etc. I can pull out that adapter and know I've got all the basics done. This adapter provides most of the ports I need on the go and allows for pass-through charging. I also love that this adapter plugs directly into the latest 15" MacBook Pro and matches the look and feel of the latest 15"โ€ฆ

Pros
  • Computers and Accessories
Cons
  • I'll get back to you
