I needed a way to connect 2 monitors with my MacBook and give some additional usb options. In theory this set is awesome. It has worked ok so far but I had to do some finagling to get it to work right for me. I don't know if the peripherals were just overwhelming it or something but it doesn't seem to like it when I have the main dock and the hdmi module being used at the same time with 2 screens and other devices plugged into the other ports. Luckily I have other docking solutions with hdmi so for my main set up I use the hdmi module and my other docking dongle with an hdmi port instead of the one it came with. I only use the included big piece of the doc if I am not using any other pieces or docks. It could just be my use case, but just something I noticed. I have a lot of crap I use for work so it may not be that way for everyone.
The connection usually seems ok but I agree with others who said it could be better. It seems to help to have one of the modules plugged in too, even if not in use, as it adds a bit of extra stability for the larger piece. The smaller modules plug in well and don't seem to have the stability issues like the larger piece has. I still like it and use it, but it would've been cool if that fit a little more reliably. It did occur to me that could be the issue with trying to use it with a bunch of stuff, like I explained above, and not the stuff I was plugging into it. Still not sure, but just some things I noted. Not the worst product ever, I kept mine and use it daily, but could also be much improved with a cpl little tweaks.

A cool little compact hub. It has 2 USB-A slots, 2 USB-C slots (one is on the short side of the device that is pointing away from the camera in the photo), and 1 HDMI slot on the main device. The 2 white add-on pieces have one additional HDMI slot on one, and 2 different sizes of SD card slots on the other. Both of these are magnetic and can either stick to the flat site of the main unit or can plug into one of the USB-C slots. When you put either one on magnetically, both of the devices' USB-C ends fit exactly into the 2 slots on the side of a MacBook Air (or Pro). If you leave them off, then your MacBook now has 3 usable USB-C slots. It's a shame that this computer only has 2 slots, but that's Apple's design flaw. This device is a good way to overcome the computer's shortcomings.

Easy setup. I like the cordless attachment. Can be a little loose, make sure you keep your computer on a flat surface when connected to prevent damage to both the product and computer.

Color works perfectly for my MacBook pro. I needed something to connect my iPhone to the MacBook for different programming applications and this works great. I love the fact that it has additional ports for HDMI cables and SD cards. It isn't bulk or anything and it fits flush with the MacBook pro. So far so good. Getting the job done.

It's a great idea if it worked... Somehow I could never fit it firmly to the computer. It would not stay put for long, specially when holding the computer on my lap. One more gadget relegated to my museum drawer.

Work very well for documents on usb but does not work for old apple superdrive (external cd/dvd-rom drive).
I think this is a very useful device but it does not allow usb powered devices to reach enough wattage to function. You will need a single usb-c:usb adapter to power something like an external cdR drive.

Hello there, we recommending removing a protective case for the Dock to have a complete flushed connection to the computer but if it has a good connection with no signal loss then that should be fine. Thank you for your review.
