Mlink USB-C 8-in-1 Aluminum Hub (USB 3.0)

'- I got this for my laptop as it does not have any type-A usb port. My new laptop only have usb-c and only 2 ports which comes with 2 problems for me: not enough usb port, and there is no usb type-A port. This means I have to get an adapter for each port and use bluetooth for my keyboard/mouse to free up the usb ports. And all of the devices uses the bigger type A port and not a single one use usb-c. And this usb hub is just what I need. With 1 usb-c port from the laptop, I have 4 USB ports to use. 1 is usb 3.0 while the rests are usb 2.0. I use the usb 3.0 for my portable HDD, and the others for other devices that do not need usb 3.0 such as usb microphones, laptop, mouse, etc.'

I was able to try out this adapter's USB C, USB A, and ethernet ports, and they work great to condense a lot of peripherals for my Macbook in a slim, low-profile single dongle. I appreciate the sheer variety of ports considering how small it is - it's way easier to bring with me than a lot of traditional dongles. The SD card reader is one of those things that's not useful OFTEN, but when you need it, boy howdy are you going to be happy you have something. I don't have a lot of devices still using SD cards but this will be a great backup tool.For some reason, only one of the USB C ports provides power passthrough, so keep that in mind. I also don't find the Ethernet connection fast enough to bother over wifi with this dongle, but if you're in an environment where you need wired, well, it'll work!
