StarTechCom Usb C Multiport Adapter - Portable Usb-C Dock To 4K Hdmi, 2-Pt Usb 3.0 Hub, Sd/Sdhc, GBe, 60W Pd Pass-Through - Usb Type-C/Thunderbolt 3 (Dkt30Csdhpd)

I changed jobs (contract ended) in the middle of this plannedemic and my new job required me to have two laptops.Due to space contraints I ended up working on the sofa using monitor mount system where I have a large MSI curved screen mounted above the two laptops.To keep things clean and to reduce all the connectors coming out from the sides of the laptops, I bought two of these adapters.My criteria were:- HDMI port- power passthrough- USB C Thunderbolt 3- Card reader- Gigabit LAN (wired)- Standard USB 3 portsI've been using these since July last year (8 months) and have had no issues at all.One of the laptops is fully powered though one of these (Lenovo T490S) and has only one connection on the side with the adapter sat on the back of the laptop arm mount making it really easy to get the two laptops side by side.The other laptop is a bigger machine that can't be powered using Thunderbolt passthough but all other connections go into this adapter thats attached on the back of the mount.I have gigabit LAN directly to both machines so I dont have to irradiate my brain with microwave radiation all day (wireless is off).I use these machines all day 5 days a week and these adapters have been excellent.

The product is solid and well constructed, connects my Yoga to a large UHD screen and has a number of USB devices connected that work well. The only area that it seems to fail on is the network adapter. IT works fine for a while then seems to loose connectivity even though still active.I have switched to using a separate USB network adapter connected to a separate USB Hub and that appears to work fine.I like Startech accessories and don't usually have a problem with them so its proved to be a bit of a disappointment.

Power, network, HDMI external didplay, and 2x USB devices all using just one USB-C connection to my laptop.Worked within seconds with no setup required.Only minor point is that there's no 3.5mm for audio. An external USB sound card could be used, but as I use this mainly for development there's no real need.Will definitely be getting another for the mobile office in my motorhome.

It is a bit expensive, but worth every cent. In its aluminium case, this adapter looks great and is very robust. I like its cable receptacle which holds its cable to avoid damages during transportation. All 4 graphic interfaces work as advertised with my Apple MacBook Pro. The fact that it supports resolutions up to 1920 x 1200 on the DVI and VGA outputs (and not only 1080) is a clear advantage.I often travel to meetings where I must connect my computer to a beamer: with this single adapter my compatibility concerns are gone: it connects to all possible standards: VGA, HDMI, DVI, Display Port.

Sorry can't do much of a review as I had to send the unit back due to it not being compatible with my tablet, it looked a nice, well made item though.
