Anker USB-C Hub for MacBook, 8-in-2 Adapter Compatible with Thunderbolt 3 USB-C Port, 4K HDMI, USB-A&C 3.0 Data Ports, SD Card, Lightning Audio

This has been perfect for my desk setup. It does exactly what I need, feels solid, and the price was great for what you get. I’ve had great luck with Anker products and this one is no exception.

I have a MacBook Pro (2019) and this fits perfectly for the USB-C spacing on the side of the laptop. I love that it does not use a dongle and with the dual USB-C connection it securely hold itself to the side of the laptop without moving around. It offers a wide range of connectivity options. Once complaint I have always had about the MacBook is there is no USB-A connection, but this fixes that issue. It is plug and play. The device is made of metal and is very sturdy. I just throw it into my backpack with my laptop and plug it in when I need it.

I got this C-Hub due to a conflict with my MacBook’a case. I couldn’t insert C-Hub devices so I came to this brand and I wasn’t disappointed. Highly recommended them, as the products are dependable and connect without any issues. Rachel Wilson Anointed Works® Founder | CEO | President

Thank you Anker for your amazing product line - that being said, I would like to point out one flaw with the USB-C Hub - it is Not compatible with the new M1 MacBook Pro - Everything else on the Hub works very well. I contacted Anker directly and they immediately sent me a replacement ( They have Great customer service ) - unfortunately the Lightning Audio did not work on that one either - but hey the M1 is new to the world so I am not really put off about it too bad - Please make a Hub that Does support Lightning Audio for the M1 MBP - you will make some happy campers out there ( me too ) As for heat - the Hub does tend to heat up from time to time during use - not any hotter than my my older Intel Based MBP did - the M1 MBP hardly gets hot at all & makes the heat from the Hub a little more noticable - its not a deal breaker in any way for me. I also really like how it plugs into my MBP and no wires or ridiculous dongles everywhere - High Fives for that alone.

Anker never disappoints. This is a well built adapter and works great with my new MacBook Air. I highly recommend this adapter for your need to have connection options.

It's really nice that this made-for-MacBook USB hub has a Thunberbolt 3 port that supports 40Gbps data, 100W PD and 6K video. Very cool. The other 3 USB ports are 5Gbps each, a little on the slow side but forgivable given the price. The microSD and SD slots are UHS-I. One unique port is the Lightning audio port, which is only useful if you still use the wired EarBuds (which I do) and certain Lightning audio devices. Overall, a great MacBook hub. If you want more USB speeds, consider the 7-in-1 hub from Satechi.

One of my main reasons for purchasing was to use the MicroSD Card slot to expand my MacBook Air's storage capacity by 1 TB, but the speeds on the card reader are not great when compared to another card reader plugged into the USB3 port. It's really a shame because I want the best speeds possible but I don't want a USB device hanging out of my computer 24/7. The MicroSD card reader built into the Anker Hub is sleek and low profile, the speeds are just not optimal. Furthermore the fit and finish makes it feel out of place on an Apple product. It floats slightly higher than the body of the laptop, with a bit of a lip when it should just fit flush. The color is slightly off from the MacBook's Space Grey and giant ANKER logo looks a bit ugly on a sleek, clean looking Apple laptop. The hub is only held in by 2 USB ports and there's some up and down play I don't like. I could easily imagine if enough force was put on the hub it would just break off and damage my Macbook's only two ports. If there was just a bit of metal on the bottom that hugged the profile of the laptop and secured it in place that could be less of an issue. Also this only supports 4K @ 30FPS through the HDMI port. Have you ever used your computer at 30FPS? It's frustratingly sluggish to just move the mouse cursor around. The difference is obvious. Then there's this mystery "lightning audio" port that I'll probably never use. I'm new to owning a MacBook so maybe there's a common use case, but I'm not sure what that use case is. My laptop already has a standard headphone port, but maybe lightning audio is higher quality sound? Is it so I can use the awful cheap lightning earbuds that used to come with iPhones? In closing, I bought this Anker hub over some cheaper options because I thought it would be more premium and "just work" for my use case, but it's frustratingly imperfect and leaves me wondering what I should have bought instead.

Fit and worked perfect. HDMI connection at the back was a plus point.
