Pros

The belkin 4-port mini usb-c hub allows for one using a newer laptop. It can connect multiple usb devices to ausb-c enabled laptop and tablet.

The device is quite small and i have no problem carrying it in my backpack or laptop bag. I really like it's compact size, sleek design and functionality. Belkin has a nice design.

The ports are spaced wide enough (as not so on the macbook pro) for using usb-3 to usb-c wide adaptors. Great accessory for my new macbook pro. I'm sure with all the newer surface pro's and ultra thin laptops, having a c connect is better than the old...  Read More



Cons

Belkin has a reputation for being first to market with items, but this one is very poor execution. Overall, 50 bucks for a piece of junk. I am disappointed that belkin did not choose to upload details about this travel hub on amazon.

Travel usb hub does not work with displayport and does not support power passthrough. When i plugged it into c port, and then plugged lightning to c adapter into belkin device, imac says won't work.

Price


I dock a star for the price, 50 bucks is too much.


This thing is awesome, i picked it up for $11 bucks warehouse deal.


Better to pay a few extra dollars and be assured a reliable conection, one less headache when it comes to troubleshooting.


It seemed to work fine with the adapter in use, but to buy one is almost half the price of this hub, so i'd rather have it so i...  Read More

Packaging/appearance


Smaller than i would have guessed, picture makes it look like about the size of a passport drive, but less than half that size.

Competitiveness


Unlike 99% of the people here that used it with their macbooks, i needed a splitter for my pc thunderbolt port because i have s...  Read More


With that being said, while belkin is a reputable company, its important to emphasize that i would not use cheap usb-c cords wi...  Read More


The belkin has up to 5gbps data transfer speeds (shared among the connected usbs) and 900mah to charge your devices such as sma...  Read More


The comparable apple connector has only one usb-c connector, and costs $20 more.
