Syntech USB C Hub 5-in-1 USB C to HDMI Adapter with SD MicroSD Card Reader 2 USB3 Ports Compatible with Steam Deck Dock iMac 2021 iPad mini iPad Pro MacBook Pro MacBook Air Surface Pro 8/X Go and More

I'm using this on my Dell XPS 9380. While this is a great laptop, probably one of the best on the market at the moment, it doesn't have legacy USB-A interfaces on it. I bought this hub so that I could plug in USB flash drives, a wireless mouse, etc. in a pinch and it's been pretty great. Very small, lightweight, and well built so it's perfect for business travel. I didn't think I would need the card reader capabilities, but they've ended up coming in handy. The HDMI port has come in extremely handy when going to locations and needing to display content - don't need to carry any other video or port adapters, just this thing.Given the low price, functionality, and build quality I'd recommend this hub to anyone looking for a travel USB C hub that does everything while being compact and lightweight.

The media could not be loaded. This usb c hub has 5 ports - Two USB-A ports, an SD card and a microSD card port, an HDMI port. I have tested all the ports and everything goes well: USB 3.0 and SD/microSD at full speed, video transferring through HDMI working great. I have gone through a number of USB C dongles/cables which disturbed the Wifi connection once in a while. This one has no problem. They really made sonmething.It is sleek looking and lightweight but appears to be solidly built. The length of the cable is about 6" and all ports are really good fitting--not too loose or too tight. Data transfer speeds appear to be in line with other products (not that I have a way to test other than moving a file from one location to another). It looks great as its overall appearance is very premium with the slim body and curvy design.Overall this hub works flawlessly. The appearance is unique and remarkable. I like it.

I bought this for my iPad Pro so I could attach devices and hard drives. Many of the cons to this device are not actually the fault of the manufacturer but problems with IOS.First, know this before you buy... Transfer speeds are excruciatingly slow between an external device and IOS. Again, this is not likely the result of the dongle as I’ve seen this complaint with IOS in general, but this dongle does NOT offer anything to accelerate the process. Honestly I’m not even confident that the dongle is USB 3.1 certified. I would doubt it.Second, the dongle does not have a power supply or outlet. Since dongles use the power outlet on the iPad to connect most include a second power outlet on the dongle itself so you can use devices and charge the IPad. This can also speed up transfers because you are not relying solely on battery. Unfortunately this dongle lacks a way to charge the IPad, meaning you either use the dongle or you take it out and charge the device.Third, and lastly, this dongle does not have a magnet nor is it designed to fit onto the ipad. Instead the dongle just hangs off the ipad. Unfortunately the dongle cord is not long enough to even sit evenly on a table. You will always be hanging from the ipad. This cannot be good for the outlet long term.If you can get past these cons then BUY the device. I use it for quick transfers only and so it meets my needs. BUT if you need to have external devices connected to your IPad at all times DO NOT BUY THIS DONGLE.

I recently upgraded my laptop and found unfortunately it has no extra ports for all the gadgets my other laptop could handle. I researched a bunch of adapters and this one had a lot of great reviews. I ordered it and the price was reasonable. When I received it in the mail I was so happy at how tiny it was and lightweight. One thing I did research on and was glad to discover is that some of the adapters have the entire unit plug directly into the usb-c port. the only problem with that is often the computer cases aren't compatible with the adapters then and you have to turn them backwards to fit. I didn't want that problem so having this one that has a wire that connects to the port and then the adapter gives it much more accessibility without any issues. It slides neatly into the side of my carrying case. I have had zero issues with the functionality of it. All my plug ins work perfectly. I highly recommend this item!

This is a handy device for folks that want to expand their ports or get a SD card reader as most laptops now don't have those anymore.Positives:1. System (windows 10 in my case) recognized this immediately with no issues or software to download.2. The drives (both SD and USB) were detected immediately. They had decent copy speeds - moved a half GB file in a few min.3. The device is compact with braided cable so it can be stored easily.Areas of development1. Description claims that the drive reader is USB 3.0 but does not show the blue colored ports.2. For some reason the file transfer took a few seconds to start.All in all a good buy depending on the price for laptops that have limited ports.Note: I received the discoutned device for a review.

Recently, I bought a mouse to go with my Macbook Pro (2019) because I'm constantly on it and the trackpad gets a bit tiring. I felt foolish when the mouse arrived with a USB dongle and no USB port to connect it to! The newer Macbook Pros are quite limiting in that way. I went on Amazon to look for a simple USB connector that would go into my thunderbolt 3 opening. After much research, I realized that I could get one hub to connect more than just a USB (like an SD card and HDMI cable). ALSO learned that many of these connector hubs malfunction (get burning hot, interfere with internet connection - usually the aluminum/metallic products, etc) so I did some more research and finally chose this Syntech product. So far, it's been working perfectly. It's lightweight, clean-looking, and functional. PLUS, the item comes with warranty registration and contact info for the brand's customer service. Syntech definitely seems to value customer satisfaction and I appreciate that above all else. THUMBS UP FOR THIS PURCHASE!
