I bought his to go with my new Samsung 9Pro laptop. It works great for that, but it would be better if it had a longer lead. I feel like it should be able to rest maybe 4-5 feet away so as not to hang off the side and warp the C/Thunderbolt socket. Also, as it turns out, you can use it to connect your iPhone or USB-C to your TV (in case you don't have wi-fi but you DO have LTE data) and stream your phone to your TV via the HDMI sockets. (This works with phones, but not with tablets.) I would recommend this to a person who just got a new Samsung laptop because there just aren't many USB-C peripherals yet.

This has the following ports: HDMI, 2 USB 3, USB fast charging, USB C, & Ethernet. I bought it for the extra USB 3 ports as my new laptop only had one of those ports. It’s a little on the expensive side, but I had some reward dollars that I used. It works great, but it can get a little hot if you have it connected to your laptop for extended periods of time.

This adapter was a bit on the spendy side but I have no regrets. I researched cheaper ones and most reviews said they either had problems with it or it stopped working altogether after so long of use. I've had this one for 10 months and with regular use it still works just as perfectly as the day I purchased it. Definitely worth the price and just what I needed to connect my drawing tablet to my MacBook

I use it to connect and external camera, mic and a large widescreen monitor for my Macbook. It works well, everything is seamless (plug and play) but it gets VERY hot for what its worth. I don't leave it unattended too long because of this but it has functioned without issue daily for almost a year so far.

I recently decided to upgrade my PC laptop to the latest specs in advance of the release of Windows 11, but I also wanted to insure that that I was fully Windows 10:compliant in the event that I opted not to upgrade. Unfortunately the latest EVO laptops have reduced ports or help facilitate reduced current draw, so connectivity was not what I was used to. Fortunately I was able to find this adapter and the performance has been simply amazing! Ethernet, HDMI and multiple USB ports all operate with no bandwidth issues. And the exterior finish matches the laptop as a bonus! Looks great, performs great…what is not to like?? Well, it is a bit pricey, but since the performance is top notch that is really the only comment.

Have used it several times, but it gets too warm for my liking. Cord is not long enough so to looks like my Mac is just about giving birth to it. Just sort of hangs there. Nice to have all the accessory ports, but I’m concerned about the heat produced. First time using it I was transferring pictures and thought that was causing the heat. Leaving it plugged in but idle, it generated the same amount of heat.

Generally, adapters emit some heat as a normal part of its operation. Please note that hotter operating temperatures can be expected, if the USB-C pass-through charging and/or all ports on the hub are utilized. If you have any concerns, feel free to contact j5create Technical Support and they'll be happy to assist you. Thank you, Dave.

Pretty much every port you would need/ hope to have access to on a pc/tablet. The finish/texture of device is kind of a matte smooth finish; akin to the newest mac pro exteriors. Unfortunately, you would find it necessary to purchase AT LEAST one of these if you own a newer mac or surface tablet and wish to accomplish AnythiNG that requires an external input/output devices or plug-ins that is not designed with USB-C in mind.
SO basicvally... great device; convenient size; just think it should be included with all devices that are designed exclusively with usb-c ports.

Hello, We really appreciate your detailed review of the adapter. Apple is ahead of most companies in adopting USB-C ports on their hardware. So this adapter is great for connecting your older peripherals to a newer computer. I hope that you have a good day. Thanks, j5create

Flawless performance, worth every penny

It was brand new product, with zero reviews on this site or anywhere on the internet, and also a little bit pricey, Hence I was hesitant to buy, but went with my instincts and J5create reputation on other products. I received it within less than 2 days. High quality workmanship, properly tested device and reliability, are pretty important to me. Yes, there are some cheaper products, but hardly any meeting my criteria. In my line of profession, time is of premium - effort to order something, and then returning, is an overhead for which I can least afford. I received it well before stated time, and it met all my criteria - including high quality finish and it works flawlessly. It is worth every penny and I would highly recommend this to anyone sharing my criteria.

I use this hub to travel back and forth between two homes, and have one in each home. Works great for this purpose, and has plenty of ports. My only issue with it is the short white cable (shown in product photo) connects to my laptop and I would have liked it to be longer, more like two feet long, to keep the hub and it's assortment of cables from being so close to my laptop. Otherwise am very happy with the product.

This was just what I needed for my new remote work from home job. The position required for me to have an additional monitor and Ethernet connection I have an Apple iMac computer and was able to have my monitor, Ethernet and USB headphones connected together with no issues whatsoever. The device it’s a little warm so I unplugged it when not in use

The good news about this adapter is that it enables use with a variety of devices including USB and HDMI for laptops that do not have enough USB slots or an HDMI slot. The bad news is that it heats up when using the HDMI cable even when nothing else it connected. Another disadvantage is the extremely short cable that limits placement of the laptop in certain situations.

Hey PublicSpeaker, In regards to the heating up, we can assure you this is normal since electricity is running through the hub. If it gets to the point where the hub is harming you, please reach out to support and seek an exchange under the manufacturer's two year warranty. Respectfully, j5create

A must have accessory for todays slim laptops that don't come with many ports. A device like this used to be optional, not anymore. This dongle provides what manufactures no longer do in the interest of cost and cutting size. I needed this for the rare instances that I need to hook up to a wired ethernet port as well as extras USB slots for peripherals. Good quality but a little expensive.

Since the YOGA Laptop does not have a port for a ethernet connection, I bought this unit for several reasons - first it met my basic need to provide me with the ability to connect the hardwired internet cable, but also provided me with additonal USB slots including a USB C port, a Always On regular USB port as well as slots for SD cards.

I use this with my Apple Air. It does not have a card reader or internet port. This takes care of that problem. Plus it has one more USB-c and a few more USB ports. plus a HDMI Port. It does tend to get a bit warm when used to transfer files.
