5.0 out of 5 stars Works as described
I had been looking at USB C Hubs for a while for my Mac Air M1 2021. From reviews there were cheaper models out there but although some carried good reviews there were a lot of people who experienced issues. I chose Satechi as this brand is also available on the Apple website (although not this model) and felt if Apple carried their brand they must have at least be prepared to endorse the products. Those on the Apple website however tend to be overpriced or do not carry enough/ or the right ports for me. I also contacted Satechi to check which model would work with M1 silicon and they recommended this and 2 other products (2 of which were slimline and would look ok with the Mac Air design). I chose this one as it had the ethernet port just for the odd occasional where I may need it.The product arrived in a couple of days and on time. It worked as designed out of the box and all ports were tested and worked well (nb I haven't checked speed of data transfer but I was able to use ports to move files ok). The USB C power data port worked fine and I was able to connect the Mac Air power lead to this unit which then plugged into the Mac Air (leaving me one free USB C port on the laptop in case I needed it). The laptop charged fine and I was able to charge other devices from the USB A ports too. I was advised this may not work with a HDMI lead to a monitor (Was advised I could only Mirror my screen by Satechi) but I found it worked well with an old Bush monitor and new HDMI lead I also purchased. Some config settings were required to make sure the font / windows were the right size for me and to unselect "Mirror" so I could extend the display but that was quick to do (System Preferences / Display / Arrangement).I had considered the USB C Hub that connects without a wire ie has two USB C plugs and attaches to the side of the laptop. Whilst this would be more aesthetic looking and mean no dangling hub if you were using the laptop on your lap various reviews stated they did not align to the laptop and resulted in a height difference between the left/ right hand side of the laptop. Therefore this was the better option.You will notice several reviews on all USB C hub mention they will get warm / hot when in use. I found this one does get warm (as does another I have) however I don't tend to leave them plugged in for longer than I need. Various websites will provide answers to the reason why (inefficient use of electricity radiating out from the device, etc) and this seems to be a standard comment for all USB C hubs.I would recommend this adapter as it works as described. Minor drop in star rating due to cost (£99 February 2021) as this is at the top end of the range for similar specified hubs but this seemed to be a good make.

This is really good but problem is when I use to getting hot.
4.0 out of 5 stars Aside from its price, hard to criticise
You receive an attractive cardboard box that is appropriate for the size of device inside. The box shows pretty much all the product info you're going to need. Satechi have obviously thought hard about building a brand that would be appropriate for MacBook users.The adaptor is held inside by a black moulded plastic tray. The adaptor is a sculpted black metal rectangle 13cm long and just 3.2cm wide, with a maximum depth of about 1.15cm - it feels nice in your hand with its matt black finish. The Satechi logo is in a small neat typeface near one edge. On the other side are what look to be regulatory stamps and a cross through a recycling bin. Aside from this there is nothing written on the device to tell you what it is, or what the sockets are for. Six of the sockets run along one thin edge, with an HDMI socket, two USB A sockets, a USB C charging port (the instructions tell you it's not for data transfer) and then of debatable value a pair of SD sockets, one being standard the other micro. I guess these would be of use if you have something like a Canon camera and want to plug the memory cards into your laptop rather than use a connecting cable.Finally down the end of the adaptor opposite the captive USB C lead is a nice network socket that has a click-out door so that the device retains its minimal dimensions. The captive lead is about 13cm long depending where you measure it, which gives the whole device a sense of symmetry.So, why I have I knocked a star off my rating? It's the cost - this is currently selling for almost twice the price of similar devices. What you get is undoubtedly good build quality and very tasteful design, but functionality-wise I can't see anything unique about this Satechi adaptor.

5.0 out of 5 stars Essential purchase for Macbook or iPad Pro 2020
Tested with Macbook 16" 2019 and 13" 2020 plus iPad Pro 12.9" 2020. Works really well and gives you all the ports you might need in a small compact and well built unit. Very impressed and essential purchase!
5.0 out of 5 stars Premium quality from a quality brand!
This product covered off all the ports I needed and only uses one USB C port. It is super well made and looks excellent. It’s amazing what one USB C port can do at once!
5.0 out of 5 stars Great Device
Has all the ports you need and only uses up one slot on my MacBook. I will be getting a iPad pro soon, so I hope this will work on that with USB C
5.0 out of 5 stars Great for 16” macbook pro
Great little adapter that works flawlessly with my new 16” MacBook Pro. Gets a little warm when using it as a dock with power, hdmi out running. Solid construction and lightweight design.
All the essentials
Title: "Sleek, Versatile, and Absolutely Essential!"Review:I recently purchased the Satechi USB C Hub, and it has quickly become an indispensable part of my tech setup. The build quality is exceptional – it has a sleek, minimalist design that perfectly complements my laptop, and it feels sturdy enough to withstand the rigors of daily use.The variety of ports is a game-changer for me. With multiple USB-C, USB-A, SD, and microSD card slots, plus HDMI output, it has everything I need to connect all my devices simultaneously. It's been a massive productivity boost, allowing me to effortlessly transfer files, extend my display, and charge my devices, all through one hub.The plug-and-play functionality was a pleasant surprise. I didn't need to install any drivers or software; it worked perfectly straight out of the box with my MacBook. The data transfer speeds are impressively fast, and I've experienced no lag or interruptions when using the HDMI port for video output.One of my favorite features is its compact and portable design. It fits easily in my laptop bag, making it perfect for use at home, in the office, or on the go. Despite its small size, it doesn't overheat, even when all the ports are in use, which is a testament to its quality.In conclusion, the Satechi USB C Hub is a top-notch accessory that I would highly recommend to anyone looking to expand their device's connectivity. It offers great functionality, reliability, and style, all at a very reasonable price point. Definitely a 5-star product in my book!
Perfeito, massss
Fiquei extremamente chateado que esse produto não funciona no iPhone 15Pro Max, fora isso, é absurdo de bom!
100% approve of this message! Highly recommend.
Great device, sturdy build, nice feel to it, doesn’t feel cheap at all. Quality all around. (TINY blue led to indicate on, doesn’t cause distraction) #1 3rd party product to use for your Apple MacBook Air or pro! I got the idea to plug in my PS5 controller into the USB port through this multimedia while connected to my Mac air, and it worked for gaming. I find it also works for the PS5 for extra HDMI ports but there are other products similar THATS specifically for ps5 use. (makes it possible though) highly recommend for anyone.Best bang for your buck in the long run, I bought one and few days later bought another one but with more ports!BUY them on sale and you’ll be even happier!! 100/100
Muy bien producto
Me compré una Mac Mini y me puse a investigar que marca es compatible con los productos de Apple, y Satechi es una de ellas. Así que me animé por este adaptador.Leí comentarios que se calienta mucho, y sí se calienta pero no es algo alarmante. Al menos el tiempo que yo lo uso se calienta pero lo normal.La verdad el adaptador luce muy elegante en color negro. Yo aproveché que estaba en descuento por el Black Friday. Hasta ahorita lo he usado con casi todas las ranuras excepto la de ethernet, y no he tenido problema. Es entrada USB-C, así tómenlo en cuenta.Lo recomiendo mucho si buscas algo de calidad. Es poco más caro que otros pero vale la pena. Además me sirvió porque después me compré una laptop Huawei con salidas para USB-C y no tengo ningún problema.
