Plugable7-in-1 USB C Hub Multiport Adapter with Ethernet - Compatible with Mac, Windows, Chromebook, Dell XPS and Thunderbolt 3 (87W Charging, Gigabit Ethernet, 4K HDMI, 2X USB, SD/microSD)

TL;DR: I plugged an Apple USB-C PD power adapter into this multiport adapter, then plugged this multiport adapter into my HP laptop's USB-C, and everything "just worked", So, I'm very happy with how well this Plugable 7-in-1 Multiport adapter performs.However, to be as happy as me, I believe that you'll want to make sure your laptop has Display Port 1.4 support, and if you want to abandon your laptop's charger, then your laptop needs USB Power Delivery (PD) support and you'll need a reliable USB-C PD power source.Details:I got this adapter to extend the USB-C port on my HP 15-eg2073cl laptop. Before buying this adapter, I tried to verify that it would work for my laptop and then find an appropriate USB-C PD power source.Regarding the laptop's compatibility: HP is getting real sloppy on its per-model published specs, especially for club models; as a result full specs are not always entirely clear for any particular laptop from any model line. For example, HP's spec for my laptop's model line mentions a couple of 12th-generation Intel CPUs, but my laptop has a different 12th-generation Intel CPU. I took a chance because the model spec mentions USB Power Delivery and Display Port 1.4 support, and I was gratified that my laptop did indeed have those features.Regarding the USB-C PD power source: I had a difficult time trying to find a UL-listed charger from a reputable manufacturer that was specified to comply with USB PD and had a greater than 70W capacity. (I wanted >70W because: my laptop requires up to 45W, the Pluggable multiport adapter seems to require 13W and can also supply up to an additional 12W to its USB ports, and it's good to leave some headroom so you're not running the power adapter hot at its full rating.) In the end, I decided to buy an Apple 96W USB-C Power Adapter, because I figured that an Apple product would be reliable, because it's UL listed, and because it's specified to use the PD standard. My local Apple Store was out of stock on the 96W, so I went with the new Apple 140W USB-C Power Adapter, which uses the newer PD 3.1 standard. It's too expensive, but it works great and I can anticipate being able to safely use it for many years.Because the Pluggable is now providing power to the laptop, I unplugged the HP-provided charger from the laptop's power port.I didn't have to install any drivers; the original Windows 11 release on my laptop had everything it needed to use all the Pluggable's features.When looking for an adapter, I noticed that some people mention that multiport adapters like this run hot and indeed so does the FAQ for this adapter. The hottest spot on my Pluggable 7-in-1 runs at 107 degrees F (measured by an IR thermometer). 107 degrees can feel "quite warm" if you grab it tightly and hold it for a while, especially compared to my laptop's typical 95 degree warmest-spot temperature, but "barely warm" would be a more apt description.I've tested that I can drive either a 4K and HD monitor from the adapter's HDMI port at 60Hz. Currently I'm using a dual-monitor setup: a 4K monitor attached directly to my laptop and an HD monitor attached to the Pluggable. (I could also simultaneously use my laptop's screen, but I don't have the desk space, so I turned it off.)I'm also using the two USB ports for an external drive and keyboard, and they both work fine. The SD card ports also work fine.Last, I use the Ethernet port to hardwire my laptop to my network, and because I use a lot of remote desktops, the Ethernet link is always busy.I did have one issue: I used this Pluggable adapter for a week without any problems, but then the Ethernet stopped working. In order to "fix it", I had to remove the Pluggable adapter from the laptop, then remove/restore the USB-C power from the Pluggable adapter, then restore the Pluggable adapter to the laptop. Another 1.5 weeks has passed and this problem has not recurred. Notably, around the same time, Windows updated the Realtek drivers, so I'm thinking this was a transient issue unlikely to recur.The bottom line: I've used various Pluggable USB serial and ethernet dongles for years, and they've always worked flawlessly. So far, this multiport adapter seems to be in the same high-quality camp.I've added this many months later: First, this adapter does not use a Realtek Ethernet chip, it uses the ASIX AX88179A. Second, my Ethernet has not failed since that one time when the Ethernet stopped working. Put simply, it has been rock solid. I contrast that to several other Realtek-based Ethernet USB adapters I own that routinely stop and need to be unplugged/replugged.

I bought this for use with my Chromecast with GoogleTV and my M1 MacBook Pro.It works great for both devices and was cheaper than similar adapters from other manufacturers (I paid $59). It gets my ethernet and access to regular USB and a microSD card reader.

A good product which functions as promised. The power delivery function comes in handy to use USB C connection to the laptop to access all the peripherals working as a docking station. Wondering if this could be connected to a USB switch to share this with another computer (KVM switch functionality). Overall product is sturdy and satisfied with its performance.

I bought this unit after another generic hub I was using died after just 6 months.Most 5-in-1 or 7-1-in hub are using a Realtek ethernet adapter.When connected to a mac via a LG 5K UltraFine, I would never get more than 600Mbit/s speed.This Pluggable is using a AX88179A chipset ; I consistently get 920Mbit/s and over speed with it; and all this time I thought the issue was with the screen itself.The unit is well built in a sleek aluminium case and doesn't get overwhelmingly hot and it supports 60Hz 4K with a MBP 14", what more to ask?Another quality device by plugable, very happy with this purchase.
