Works great but gets warm.
Overall, this is a pretty good product with a few minor flaws.
First, every port seems to work great. I purchased this so I could use the dual display feature on my iPad Pro and cast onto an external monitor through the HDMI port. Works like a charm. The USB ports work great as well, and the USB C has proven surprisingly functional. The power through charging (plugging in a regular power cord to the hub to charge the iPad) has had some issues, but I believe it was mainly because I was using the regular iPad charger that came with my iPad, and it wasn’t powerful enough for the charging through the hub. It was a 20 watt charger and I need 30 watts. I have yet to get a 30 watt but I am sure that will fix my problem.
The other flaw I have noticed is that it tends to warm up rather quickly. From my personal experience, this seems to be fairly common with these USB C hubs. This one in particular gets warm quickly, like within 20 minutes or so after using the HDMI and at least 1 USB port, which is rather fast compared to other hubs. That being said, it hasn’t gotten really HOT, just warm. Even after couple hour study session, it is still just warm, so that is good.
Anyways like I stated, this is a pretty good hub and for the price is probably hard to beat. I would recommend this to someone who is looking to increase their productivity of a device that has USB C.
