I'm really interested to know if you can plug USB-C into it, power the laptop and use the USB-C connector on the hub for something else. In theory, that should work but I bought a different one recently where that didn't work.
Although with all those ports, it probably doesn't matter too much because it would make my existing adapters redundant.
One thing I've read about some of these hubs is that they kill WiFi when they're connected so please can you give that a good test. Thanks
OK, so had this for the entire evening now, and here's my findings:
- It's quite a nice looking bit of kit, well built, matches the Space Grey MacBook Pro nicely in colour and design.
- The ethernet port works out of the box without any additional drivers or kexts in Mojave.
- It can get really hot at times, though from what I understand that's pretty normal.
- It can run my 34" LG Ultrawide monitor via HDMI at full resolution and 50Hz with no issues at all. Rock solid so far.
- You can plug power into the hub via USB-C if you want and it'll charge the MacBook Pro.
- Plugging the charger into a different port, and then something USB-C into the port on the hub doesn't seem to want to work - at least it won't recognise my A7R3 via USB-C (whereas plugging it directly into any of the ports on the MPB directly works fine).
- No issues with wifi at all, I get the same speeds via wifi regardless of whether the dock/dongle is plugged in or not. May help that there's a bit of distance between the device itself and the MBP.
Here's a couple of photos if you're interested:
