Satechi8 in 1 USB C Hub Multiport Adapter V2, 4K HDMI, 115W USB C PD Charging, 3 USB-A, Ethernet, Micro/SD Card Readers, for Laptop, MacBook Pro/Air M4/M3/M2/M1, iPad, iPhone 16, Windows - Space Gray

Excellent quality product that is easy to use. I used it to run Ethernet through my laptop c port. Recommended.

I bought this for my M1 macbook pro. I was using a cheaper ($25) USB hub/connector and my wireless headsets and keyboard kept getting unconnected. I first thought it was a Bluetooth issue but learned it was a problem with the dongle. I don't have that problem anymore after changing it to this product.The design is sleek and matches my spacegrey MacBook. I also like that it has 3 USB 3.0 slots while others mostly have two. I only need the HDMI and USB 3.0 slots so it's perfect for me. It does get hot like the other reviews say.. but I would say it's more of a warm than hot. My cat likes to sleep on top of it, probably because it's warm lol.

After a scare with the hub seeming to brick the tablet. I got some professional help trouble shooting and got the tablet functioning again. USB and HDMI connections are working as advertised the USB-C PD port works but the charging speed varies between fast and slow.The hub gets quite hot, but the aluminum case seems to be working to dissipate the heat. The big issue comes when you try to use the ethernet port. It works briefly then ceases and then the settings app crashes and you will need to reboot the tablet. However once you shut it down it wont boot back up and you need to force start the tablet.

I'm using this Satechi USB-C Hub with my 2018 MacBook Air. The mix of ports it has is just right for me, and it works perfectly. Build quality seems very good. It gets warm after being in use for hours, but just warm not hot.Unlike some cheaper docks, it has pass-through power. If you have a computer with only one USB-C port, you don't have to choose between powering your computer or using the peripherals connected to this hub - the hub does both. However, my computer charges at a slower pace when using pass-through than when my charger is plugged directly into one of the two USB-C ports on the computer. That makes sense - the Satechi dongle is diverting some of the power from my charger to other peripherals. But you should be aware of this before buying. If you don't like this, you can get a charger that puts out more wattage than your computer's original USB-C charger.Like other USB-C dongles in this price range with an HDMI port, this one outputs 4K video at only 30hz, not 60hz. 60hz is nicer and you can get it either with a USB-C to HDMI cable or a much more expensive USB-C / Thunderbolt 3 docking station. But 30hz is very tolerable for the kind of computing I do, and I'm happy the Satechi dongle has it in case I need one of my computer's two USB-C ports for something else.I've tried all of my different peripherals, including printers with a USB-A cable, a variety of external drives, SD cards from my digital camera, Logitech wireless keyboard & mice that connect to the computer with a tiny USB-A plug, and more.There's only one thing I have that must be plugged directly into one of the computer's ports to work correctly: my KEF X300A powered stereo speakers that have their own internal DAC. These or any other powered speakers with their own internal DAC will bypass the computer's DAC, which is perfectly serviceable but not audiophile grade. I have never been able to get them to work correctly with any USB hub plugged into any computer, and I've tried a fair number, as most of the computers I've used have only 2 USB ports. If you have audiophile grade powered speakers with their own internal DAC, you will need to plug them directly into a USB port on your computer. If the cable has a USB-A plug on the end, you can get a little USB-A to USB-C adapter that works just fine. You just can't plug the speakers into a dock, any dock. For some reason, the DAC in these speakers doesn't like to share the computer's USB port with other peripherals. If you only have one USB-C port, e.g. the 12" MacBook, then you have to choose between using its port for your audiophile speakers or plugging the speakers into the computer's headphone jack - which sounds very good, but doesn't take advantage of the speakers' superior DAC.Some negative reviews criticize this dongle because it doesn't have the exact mix of ports they need. That's unfair. There are tons and tons of dongles with different mixes of ports. Criticizing this one because it doesn't have, say, mini display port output is like criticizing a pepperoni and mushroom pizza because it doesn't have Italian sausage.I'm not crazy about the price. I paid $80, and there are lots of dongles with the same or very similar mix of ports for $50-60. I picked this one because it got strong reviews, both from professional review websites and from regular folks who own and use it. It has good build quality, while reviewers of some of the cheaper ones say that they feel a bit cheap or flimsy. So I'm happy with my purchase and still recommend it over the cheaper ones to people who can afford it. But Anker has a USB-C hub with the exact same mix of ports which is currently priced $10 less than this Satechi hub, and I can't tell you any good reason why you should pay more for this one. (Search Amazon for "Anker 7-in-1 USB C Hub, 4K USB C to HDMI Adapter, MicroSD/SD Card Reader, 3 USB 3.0 Ports, with 60W Power Delivery"). I don't own it, but I own lots of other Anker products and they are all high quality, plus Anker has excellent customer service.

For what it is, a bit expensive. For its reputation, build quality and utility, is why i bought it anyway. I have worked with many projects that have used hundreds of these and they swear by them never failing or have very occurrence rate of issues.Bought for business travel purposes and so far has never let me down for equipment testing purposes.

Great quality and nice designThis is perfect for me when traveling or at home. It allows many connections with my Mac Book.

I got this mainly to have wired ethernet, USB-A and power delivery.The good:The USB-A 3.0 works fine.The bad:The power delivery is capped at 60w delivery, which is pretty low. A lot of reviewers complaining about their's getting really hot. That is because they are sending more than 60w through it and, laws of thermodynamics, the extra energy needs to go somewhere so the mechanism gets VERY hot. So you have to use a low power charger, which is pretty weak. 60w? really?The ugly:The ethernet port is useless on a Mac. And they market it as being made for macbook air/pro. But it will hijack your router and crash it.I got a faulty device originally that had this ethernet issue, but also HDMI did not work at all either. So went to exchange it for another within days of receiving the first one and I had to pay for shipping back ($17), which is a terrible policy to get a bad device and then you have to pay 25% more for the broken device to send it back so you can get one that actually works--works more at least, still doesn't work.Got the new device and HDMI worked, but same issue with ethernet. Did not work. Would work for a very short period and then actually screw up the router configuration. So no device on the network worked. This happened with both of the products I received. They completely crashed the config on my router.So I way overpaid for a device that doesn't work. I don't think I would recommend this to anyone in their right mind.
