    Great multi use docking station adapter. No headphone jack. Although each individual adapter can be used as a standalone, if used as a whole you will cover the headphone jack to your MacBook Pro on one side. You’ll need to use it on the other side of your computer if you want to use the headphone jack. On my windows pc, mu headphone jack was on the opposite side of the adapter. No issues there. As a stand alone, the device works well with my iPad. I was able to insert the USB adapter and my iPad was able to read my memory card. The price is steep, but if you need versatility with your laptop or iPad, I recommend purchasing…at a lower price.

    Beyond my expectation! I am super happy that I purchased while it was on sale! Very useful, especially with latest models of notebooks not having enough ports! It is neatly settled in a cute little pouch, which makes me feel worry free. Love it!

    This works solid, i bought this to replace a cheaper alternative. The optional parts is nice to allow for many configurations. i found using the second hdmi adapter that uses second usb port improves higher resolution demands.

    Great design and the modularity is awesome. I use the dock with the card reader on the magnetic connect up top, and the ethernet adapter plugged in below. I assume there is a controller to handle the handshaking etc through the USB-C ports (using with a MacBook Pro M1) and draws some of the USB-C power. Occasionally, there will be a handshaking issue with the ethernet and I have to unplug and reconnect the ethernet adapter. The only issue I have is that since the dock is drawing power it is difficult you cannot power and read from larger non-flash USB-C hard-drives (e.g. G-technology 750GBUSB/Firewire) without having a separate power supply for the hard-drive. I ended up using the drive with the Apple USB-C to Digital A/V adapter to read data. The only thing I miss from this dock is a Firewire 800 converter.

      The j5 device is a PnP unit, no software needed. Please test with another Ethernet cable or Ethernet port on router. The power-in port supports up to 100W pass-through charge. Please check the specifications power requirements of your HDD. j5create

    Attempts to Solve an Apple-Created Problem

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Apple LOVES to streamline their devices to the point that they become virtually unusable with any other technologies. That is the case with this device - a solution created to solve Apple's jettisoning of any and all drives, slots, inputs, and outputs on its MacBook Pro. The biggest issue with this device is keeping it plugged in to the MBP's notoriously jiggly ports - the actual docking station, itself, has nice, tight ports that securely hold things in place, but the device, itself, easily comes unplugged from the MBP's USB-C ports. Again, this device was created to solve a problem that Apple stupidly created, and it does that job well.

      Hello,
      Thank you for the high praise of the mini docking station. If you have a case on the keyboard portion of your laptop that may be causing connectivity issues since the USB connectors may not be seating firmly. We really appreciate you taking the time to post a review.
      Cheers,

    Works as a very decent ‘Docking Station’ for a 2019 MacBook Pro. Using dual monitors, all USB ports used and charging the MacBook Pro through the i5 as well. No issues, work great every time. Easy to remove and take on the go with included carrying case. Small, compact and does what it says it would.

    This is much more streamlined that other docking stations we have used - it works as intended! The only negative is the magnetic strength for the attached piece is not real strong, so it does sometimes pop off when I am trying to plug it all in to my laptop. Otherwise, it works well with no problems. This is used for high intensity work, so hopefully it will last.

      The 5 detachable magnetic kits are stand-alone mini adapters that allow you to expand even further with additional functions. Thanks for your review, ErinB. j5create

    good for hooking up different types of connections, but does not seem to work well with power cord; MacBook pro will not charge as well/fast when run through the docking station, great for hdmi, usb-a, video interfaces, haven't tried the SD cards, expensive at $130
