Reddit reviews USB C Hub, Anker 5-in-1 USB C Adapter, with 4K USB C to HDMI, SD and microSD Card Reader, 2 USB 3.0 Ports, for MacBook Pro 2019/2018/2017, iPad Pro 2019/2018, Pixelbook, XPS, and More, Gray

It's not really about skimping, most hubs on the market don't support Thunderbolt 3/USB-C and passthrough data + 87W power. Mostly because it makes the hubs expensive.

For instance if the person I originally replied to bought this :
https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07H4VQ4BZ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_CtBmDb54E2B3F.

There's no charge pass through.

Here are the accessories I got to go with my SL3, they all have worked well for me:

• Anker 7 port USB-C dock
  
  • 2xUSB-A (3.0), Ethernet, usb-c power, SD, microSD, HDMI (1440p@60hz)
    > Dock draws 12W of power, so I recommend using this as a home dock that is plugged in all of the time
    
• Anker 5 port USB-C adapter
  
  • 2xUSB-A (3.0), SD, microSD, HDMI (1440p@60hz)
    > This dock has no power draw overhead, so I use it for travel. It also doesn't have power pass through or ethernet
    
• 6 foot usb-c to usb-c power cable
  > Slow data speed - is only meant as a charging cable
  
• 61W GaN power adapter
  
  • Takes advantage of gallium nitride so it is small compared to normal charger
    
  • Being 61W it takes advantage of the quick-charge that the SL3 battery is capable of
    > It is still a little bit slower to charge than the OEM 65W charger
    
• 20Ah 45W power bank
  
  • Gets me about a full charge
    
  • Charges at 25W
    
  • Outputs 45W so it charges relatively quickly, albeit not quick-charge speeds

i got this one and it seems to be quality for a pretty good price, unless you want more usb ports, that is

I use it with one of these and hook up a wireless mouse and keyboard

There is a nice Anker one on Amazon I have arriving this Saturday. I trust the brand, it has the ports I need and it is not that expensive.

It could be the dock I have! I got this one, and while it only has one HDMI port my laptop has another so I didn't think I'd need to buy something more expensive.

Anker has a good selection and I highly recommend. Anker USB C Hub Adapter, 5-in-1 USB C Adapter, with 4K USB C to HDMI, SD and microSD Card Reader, 2 USB 3.0 Ports, for MacBook Pro 2019/2018/2017, Pixelbook, XPS, and More https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07H4VQ4BZ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_S.DLDb6JG443N

I bought an Anker hub for my MacBook. It was around $25 I think on Amazon. So far I’ve had no issues with WiFi connectivity.

I got this one: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07H4VQ4BZ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_k101Db14FG4H7

I’ll probably never use the SD card slots, but whatever.

Here is a USB-C hub that might work.

I tried Anker 5 in 1 usb c hub.

Which hub do you use?

I am not tech savvy at all when it comes to additional gadgets like this, I went on amazon found this:
Anker USB C Hub, 5-in-1 USB C Adapter, with 4K USB C to HDMI, SD/TF Card Reader, 2 USB 3.0 Ports, for MacBook Pro 2016/2017/2018, Chromebook, Xps, and More https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07H4VQ4BZ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_FP93Cb1KNT15P

Is this what you are talking about?

I've recorded using the predecessor to this adapter without any problem.

I just the PreSonus 24c that is a direct USB-C connection and I'm happy so far.

On my iPad Pro, I can use my Logitech keyboard and mouse, hdmi monitor plugged into a USB C hub

The only problem I had was the display is letter boxed and the mouse is nerfed of course.

It’s getting close but surface still performs better as a full fledged desktop on its own.

But with Shadow, high speed internet with wireless AC a raspberry pi and virtual here for mouse support, you can gain that full desktop experience on the iPad Pro though. I’m really hoping shadow somehow adds support for Bluetooth mice on the iPad. That would remove a significant technical step.

I’m pretty sure, although I can’t really find anything conclusive. I posted on the Lenovo forums, but they just redirected me to a thread where it was never resolved. I think for some reason the 13” can charge over USB-C but not the 15” I have.

Thank you. Do you mean a dock/hub like this one?

Does anyone have experience with Nintendo licensed refurbished stuff? I am looking to get a second dock and AC adapter on the cheap without bricking the console.

1. Should i spend the money for brand new? or try refurb?
   
   
2. Should i save the money and try an Anker USB hub or this?
