Excellent product
This is one excellent USB C hub. Sleek Metal body with good finishing. Hub itself looks much smaller then I imagined. Cable is sturdy and all connectors work flawless. USB ports are supporting the speeds as advertised. Power delivery to laptop is also working fine. I am using it with Lenovo Thinkpad T series laptop. Product cost is bit higher as compared to other similar USB C hubs but is well justified with quality. I had bought another USB C hub from Amazon with similar price but more (13) ports which did not work at all. I would highly recommend this hub. Review will be updated after using it for some more time.

The dongle to get with little drawbacks...
This is one of the best docks that I have used. Yes this is a bit expensive than your other brands but this is worth it. A full metal housing, great and long cables.All other docks have some issues, they have a 4k 30 HDMI port or the speed is too less when it comes to USB devices or memory cards. I mean if you guys advertise X speed, your dock should give that speed. This dock is true to its description.I have the M1 MBA.Pros:1. As for the ports all are working.2. So with the USB 3.0 port, my SATA SSD gave a read speed of 350ish MBPS and a write of 250-280 MBPS. The second USB 3 port gives a bit more speed. I dont know why. I could attach my HDD and my USB wireless mouse and it works perfectly.3. The HDMI supports my 4k TV at 60hz and supports HDR too.4. The Ethernet jack works as expected. I have an internet connection of 300MBPS and this gave a speed of 310ish, so it is actually a GIGABIT port.5. The TYPE C ports charges the laptop.6. The SD cards slots work as expected, my SD cards advertised speed is 95MBPS read. I got 85MBPS read and 77MBPS write. As for the microSD, the advertised speed of my card is 48MBPS read, gives 45MBPS read and 35ish write.7. As for overloading, I used all ports at once and it was working BUT there are some cons.CONS:1. I have the M1 MBA which has a 30W charger and if connected through the port, I will get 22W charging as this dock takes up 8 watts.2. If I connect my SSD, Mouse and the charger, my mouse stops works. This is for my mouse only, which is the Logitech G604.3. This is a con for me, I hate the placement of the HDMI Port, it should have been at the top of the dock, but we have the ethernet port there.Other than that, there are no issues with them. They give a 2 year warranty, which is just great. Stop buying those cheap docks. I you have a mac, invest in something good.All cheap docks are the same and most of them look the same because they are from the same manufacturer.So, I would recommend this dock if the cons arent an issue for you.Cheers.

Works well - Nice set of ports
This is my first review after purchase; works well with my Samsung 23U and Samsung Tab s7 plus with DEX. Connected LANport, HDMIfor display, USB C for power, USB A for my mouse and keyboard and USB A for addtional card. All ports work wonderfully as per their specifications. This does get a bit warm and there is a sticker on the device mentiong the ambient and maximum operating temperatures (140 degree Farenheit, around 60 degrees centigrade) . For me the operaing surface temperature using all ports is around 41 degrees centigrade. Build quality is good and it comes with a pouch too.

Product is good but need improvement
All ports and functionalities are working. It is heating but within the limit as mentioned in product specification. Very portable and useful with the following improvements required1. The quality of display need improvement as it is not comparable when the hdmi is directly plugged in to the laptop port.2. Some time display goes blank for 2-4 sec and comeback.3. Sometime it reduce the resolution to 640x480 and in that scenario hdmi has to unplug and reinsert. This happens like once in 10-15 days. I am using thunderbolt 4.0.4. It is bit difficult to use when you want to use it as fixed docking station and you have laptops, where one is having power port in left and another laptop has is on right side. This could have been resolved if the usb cable is pluggable or bit longer.Apart form these improvement points quality is very good.

Works exactly as it should
I used this to enable an 11” iPad Pro to output HDMI to a television on a monitor stand, input sound via the USB-A port to apps on the iPad, and pass through charging power from the iPad charger, but via a longer USB-C cord. Many apps will support selecting a USB class compliant sound source, so you can hook those up via the USB-A on this adapter. The iPad screen will mirror onto the HDMI, but some apps have cleanfeed or other monitor options. My usual set up is: iPad with this adapter connected to TV via HDMI, power via USB-C power pass through, and sound input to USB-A from USB2 on a RODEcaster Pro 2, via a 3m(?) USB-C to USB-A cord from Anker. The TV is muted but otherwise the HDMI has whatever the sound output the iPad would normally be doing, which is up to you and your apps. Currently using Blackmagic Design Camera app to match sound from podcast set-up with video from the camera app. BTW the app is not optimized for iPad yet so works but interface is glitchy on iPad.DRAWBACK: I gave this adapter 5 stars, as it works exactly as I hoped from its specs, seems quality built as far as physical structure, clarity of markings, firmness of sockets, etc. BUT you should be aware that when you have all three cables connected there can be some strain on the USB-C connection to the iPad. Depending on the orientation of the iPad and cables relative to gravity, the USB-C plug that goes in the iPad can lever loose or pull out.I have the iPad horizontal and while this adaptor never pulled out, it did get loose enough to disconnect once, when adjusting the iPad on a stand. You can find various ways to secure the adaptor if you find the need but the design itself could be improved only by flanges gripping the iPad (which would compromise ‘the need to lay flat’). I feel like most cases where people will want HDMI out from their iPad, they don’t need it to lay flat but as long as you are not careless, it’s fine and not delicate, even though it isn’t secure/locking.

Amazing
This works shockingly well with the Ipad Pro. The USB port takes a thumb drive and instantly gives you access to your files through the FILES app. The headphone jack lets you listen to movies or music on an old pair of headphones. You can charge the Ipad while using these features. I haven't used the HDMI port yet, but am assuming it will work just as well. Given Appel's history of not playing well with outside hardware, this was a happy surprise.
