Great option for under $100, only 1 problem
Great product! I have trouble with getting Wi-Fi in one side of my house. I could have fixed the Wi-Fi problem, but I prefer Ethernet. This product let my MacBook have Ethernet. This product also let me plug in my wired keyboard and still let me use my wired speakers. Only wish there was an option with these features that was just a wire and not have to plug in directly, but this hub is still great for the price.

An easy way to Increase my computers connectivity
The 4K60 Elite Pro USB 4 Hub with MagSafe Kit in grey and white is slim and easy to place on either the MacBook Pro or MacBook Air and it is also easy to take off. I have two monitors, the Ethernet cable, my speakers and wireless mouse and keyboard on it and all I have to do is connect my Mac to it and I can work at home. It is also easy to take off so I can work somewhere else. It even comes with silicon thermal pads for my Mac for easier to handle and keeping it cool as well. It does an USB C and 2 USB A ports and I do not have to download a driver to make it work just plug and ready. I like that there is an option to remove the 3.5 mm audio jack in case you do not need it. The 4k60 is small to take with in case you have two different stations as well. It has a total of seven ports, the HDMI the USB4 USB C Ethernet, two USB A, the combo audio mic jack and the MagSafe 3 Kit that it is optional as well as the audio jack. Overall it works great, blends in, easy to use, it is fast and it makes my workspace look much cleaner.

Real USB4 hub + 2 external displays on m2 AIR!
If you're like me you've searched and tried many usb hubs from various retailers and they are extremely hit or miss in regards to quality and speed. One thing i haven't tried until now is j5create line of hubs. Let me tell you this one is the best hub with TRUE USB4 support 40gbps ive ever used. First things first the hit or miss part of almost any hub you buy these days is they all say thunderbolt 3/4 or usb4 but as you may know not all can actually perform under that guise. I can assure you this is the real deal and the USB4 (basically has to meet a min of thunderbolt 3 specs to advertise this but this one acts like TB4) port actually can support 40gbps transfer speeds. This is a first for me as all the other ones ive used can only hit around 25gbps max except for the $250-300 TB4 hubs which are sooo expensive. The best part is this works with both my macbook pro 14" (2021) (note that the space grey is a direct match to the finish here) and M2 macbook air (comes with feet in the box to level the laptop depth with the hub to not mess with your ports) with the removable headphone jack that the air doesn't have. (see my pictures) For whatever reason the name and even the box doesn't really clearly let you know what this can actually do but it can do more than it says. Everyone knows that the M2 macbook air only allows one external display to be used with it. Well.. If you use the HDMI port on this hub and the USB4 port to displayport as i have it actually supports 2! On my pro the USB4 can run my 4k 165hz monitor with ease which is amazing for this price point. The one thing that i was worried about was the magsafe white piece on this hub being annoying because one of the things i have is kids around my house and the last thing i want is my magsafe charger locked into my laptops with this thing. The good news is that it is magnetic itself and the entire white part can just pull off! Super relief. Daily use on this for my macbook pro ports wise I use one USB-a for an old external hard drive that only needs the 10gbps bandwidth, the other for a hyperx gaming headset wifi dongle, the standard usb c for a studio mic audio interface, the USB4 port for my 4k 144hz samsung monitor (fully supports variable refresh rate through the hub) and HDMI for another 4k 60hz monitor. I do not use the ethernet as i have wifi 6e which does more than fine for me but that comes in handy at the office when required to hard wire. I can't give enough praise to this thing ive actually bought 2 more for my other macbooks as this is EXACTLY the amount of ports and type that i need with my home computers and ive never used hubs (have 7 others) that actually fully work without errors or be able to maintain full transfer speeds and properly drive my monitors. This is it!

Portable USB4 Hub with Magsafe Kit for Mac
J5create 4k60 Pro USB 4 hub with magsafe kit is a pocket-sized adapter designed for latest apple MacBook pro and MacBook air products. This adapter was developed to take the frustrations of missing ports like USB A, HDMI, Ethernet, magsafe 3 kit, audio and USB C all in a small portable form factor. Magsafe 3 kit is magnetically attached and can be removed if its required or for another compatible Mac. Works very well and the transfer speeds are quick and easy. Tested by connecting 2 monitors for dual monitor workstation. Just connect using USB4(up to 6k 60Hz) and HDMI (up to 4k60Hz) for ease. Audio jack is detachable but keep in mind that once inserted it’s very difficult to remove even though it says detachable. So, make sure you attach the audio jack only if its needed. USB C port has a power delivery of 100W and can be used to charge your MacBook when a power brick is connected. No drivers are required and its plug and plug feature helps to move this adapter to different machines. Very portable and easy to carry during travel. Also included 2 silicone pads to elevate the MacBook for heat dissipation. Overall, must have accessory to connect various devices in ease without any wires. Highly recommend for latest mac users and is well made with quality products that matches the space grey Mac.

Great All-in-One device
THE BREAKDOWN: The J5create 4k60 Pro USB 4 hub with magsafe kit is a pocket-sized adapter designed for latest apple MacBook Pro (2021/2022) and MacBook Air (2022). This adapter is a 8 in 1 device making it easy to use and take with you. With this device you do not need several different adapters you have them all in one. This device is plug-and-play, no drivers needed so it works right out of the box. The J5create 4k60 Pro supports a dual monitor workstation. It connects up to 2 displays via USB4 (up to CK 60Hz) and HDMI (up to 4K 60Hz). It has a MagSaffe kit that protects your MagSafe connector and it can be removed from the device itself. It also comes with a detachable audio jack. It delivers 10Gbps using Gen 2 transmission speed. It also comes with some silicon pads to use with the MacBook Air. PRO’s: -All-in-one device -supports dual monitors -detachable MagSafe Connector CON’s: -None SUMMARY: Overall, this product worked as intended, and I would recommend this to a friend if they were in the market for device like this.
