So there are a few reviews saying how it gets hot, but they’re universally talking about MacBooks. If you’re in the market for a three in one dongle for iPad Pro (now that iPad OS is shaping up to be decent at productivity tasks) then this one might be for you! It goes in with a bit of a click (if it’s wobbly and you’re wondering why it’s not charging, push it in a little bit further, it’ll sit nice and flush). Also, put it in the blue LED side up, it just looks nicer ;)I have had no issues with it getting too hot while charging with the pass through feature, and this is with an ANKER 30w PD-1 fast charger and fast charging cable attached.

Mixed reviews made me hesitate, but I am 100% happy I made this purchase. Provides all the connectivity I need for my Macbook in a compact, light, same-colour peripheral. I like to keep things down to a minimum anyway, so only have this plugged in when I am using it, so the negative comments elsewhere about it feeling like it might bend and damage the port if you move it around, or gets too hot are not a concern for me. It fits well enough and does the job. I use it for SD card data reading from DSLR, pass through power, and a couple of other USB things.The wiggle room between connector and port could be less and if it did fit more snugly I'd give it 5*. That said,

I have read plenty of bad reviews about this device. It is not intended to be left plugged into your mac at all times. When I need to read from, copy from/to or transfer to or from a USB, I connect the hub - and at no other times. It is true that the main body of the device could act as a lever to potentially damage the connection port, so care should be taken to follow the manufacturer's instructions just like with anything else you buy. I left it plugged into my mac for 20 minutes with power supply and a USB (many times longer than it needs to be for how I use it) and it barely got warm. So yes I'm happy with it, yet had I read the reviews prior to ordering,

This dongle is almost flawless coupled with the new macbook. Aesthetically it feels like it is meant to be there and is much more sophisticated than the messy cables apple offer.I only have two issues with this:- the usb-c connection to the mac is very loose and feels like it may easily snap at some point down the road.- no hdmi/display port of any kind. Whilst I accept that this would likely increase the cost they should at least offer alternative combinations of ports so you can choose what will suit your lifestyle.

Pretty handy and fits all my needs (including colour matching). The only thing to worry about is potentially quite fragile connection of a whole hub to a notebook - it is USB-C male pin only - giving that there are three cords attached it makes all construction vulnerable to external influence, i.e. it is very easy to crack both hub an/or notebook's USB-C port. I wish HDMI or Thunderbolt port, even instead of one USB.Nevertheless, this hub is a best I have seen for both static and travel needs.

The product itself is very beautiful and the idea brillant. I only am a bit concerned of the hub being connected to the computer when you are not set up on a desk. Meaning that if you are moving around with your computer (which you should do with this amazing Macbook!), the hub is easily moving and I am sometimes a bit scared of the only port of the computer could be damaged...

Absolutely over the moon with this. After going into the apple store and only be advised that I wouldn't be able to use all the accessories I would need for my uni work with my new MacBook, I found a review of this product online and ordered it and it is great. Fits perfectly and has a nice weight to it which holds well in the USB-c slot.

I have a Speck clear case on my MacBook, and this, sadly, doesn't work with the bottom half of the case on the laptop. I have to remove the lower part just to plug this in, which makes it quite the PITA. That said, when it'\s plugged in, it's very useful. I'd like it to have more than on USB-C port though.

Pros:- Does the job- Very sleek and seamless design- Highly PortableCons:- Wobbles if using on a laptop due to its TYPE C connector being on one side of the device, thus leaving the rest of the bulk to just be hanging

Pretty much what I expected. Solid build quality and ports work well. Does not fit on MBpro as well as it does on Macbook. Only downside is that for some reason Amazon doesn't sell this as space gray in Europe.
