This multiport adapter is a great option for travelers who need a straightforward way to connect to a presentation display or external monitor while keeping their laptop charged. Its prior version status means it may lack some of the latest features, but it still provides reliable performance for everyday tasks. If you're looking for a budget-friendly way to expand your USB-C laptop's capabilities, this adapter is a solid choice.
The M1 Macs support USB-C DisplayPort Alt Mode, but HDMI output from this adapter may be limited. It is recommended to check Plugable's compatibility notes; some users have experienced issues with external displays on M1 Macs. For best results, use a dock designed for Apple Silicon.
The HDMI port supports up to 4K@30Hz, provided your laptop's USB-C port supports DisplayPort Alt Mode and the appropriate bandwidth.
Yes, the USB-C port supports power delivery pass-through up to 100W, but you must connect your laptop's USB-C power adapter to the adapter's USB-C port. Ensure your host supports PD.
Thunderbolt 3 ports are compatible, but Thunderbolt 4 ports may also work if they support DisplayPort Alt Mode. However, it's best to verify with your device manufacturer.
I bought this to use with my laptop when I'm on the go. It's compact and fits in my bag easily. It provides HDMI output, USB-A ports, and power delivery – all in one. It works well, the only downside is that the HDMI only supports up to 4K30, but that's okay for most uses.
This adapter has been a lifesaver for connecting to projectors and external displays. It's plug-and-play, and everything works flawlessly. The build quality is nice, and it doesn't heat up much. Highly recommended.
The HDMI output is fine, but the USB-A ports are USB 2.0, which is slower than I'd like for transferring large files. Also, the USB-C power delivery doesn't charge my 15-inch MacBook Pro as fast as I'd like, but it does charge it. It's a decent adapter for basic needs.
I've been using this for a few months now. It does what it says: adds HDMI and USB ports to my USB-C laptop. The video output is stable, and the adapter is well-made. The only minor complaint is that the cable is a bit short, but it's not a deal-breaker.
I got this on sale and it's been a great addition to my setup. It has all the ports I need, and it's very portable. The HDMI output is clear, and the power delivery works to keep my laptop charged. I'd definitely buy it again.
I connected this to my 1080p monitor and it works fine at 60Hz. I tried it with a 144Hz monitor, but it's capped at 60Hz, which is expected for this type of adapter. For productivity, it's great. For gaming, you'll need something else.
The adapter works, but sometimes the power delivery doesn't passthrough correctly, and my laptop doesn't charge until I unplug and replug. It's a bit annoying. Otherwise, the video output is fine. I'd probably look for a more reliable option.
