It's not that they cannot make up their mind. People come here for different reasons, sometimes just asking opinions to help them decide which way to go. With due respect for Just_Me-D and some others (usually old timers that have been residing in this forum for a long time including TiPb days), when somebody (usually novices judging from their post count, but you never know their experience level by a post count alone) asks a question or 'opinions' on certain equipment choices etc, such as which model, size and the whole slew of things, they will often encounter this kind of response, i.e., only you can decide etc. The HDMI port allows for 1080p video output at 60Hz, or up to 4K at 30Hz.Sorry, I can't resist posting this. That makes it the perfect companion for your LG UltraFine monitor, if you could afford it after breaking the bank on that MacBook Pro… That port delivers up to 40Gb/s data speeds, and pushes pixels to one 5K display, or two 4K displays at 60Hz. The Thunderbolt 3 port allows for pass-through charging for both the 13” (61W) and 15” (87W) MacBook Pro models, which can be convenient especially if you’re using an external USB-C monitor that can also charge your MacBook Pro when plugged in. But it should be more than enough for the above average user, me included. Emphasis should be made on “most,” because clearly, if you need Ethernet, more than two USB 3.0 ports, and more than two USB-C ports, then this won’t cut it. When it comes to tech specs, the Satechi hub should fit the needs of most users. Features that will meet the needs of most users To plug it in, you will have to give up two of your USB-C ports, either to the right or left side of the machine.

Ethernet, DisplayPort, Mini and Micro USB are notably absent. The adapter features one Thunderbolt 3 port, one USB-C port, two USB 3.0 ports, 4k HDMI, one SD and one Micro card reader. Its slim and compact profile makes it easy to bring along. Made of brushed aluminium, and coming in either silver or space grey, the hub perfectly matches your MacBook Pro.

The Satechi Type-C Pro Hub Adapter was designed specifically for the new MacBook Pro. That makes moving to the new MacBook Pro a little less convenient than we were promised, and unless you want to stock up on a set of new cables for all your peripherals, the next smart thing to do is to buy a USB-C hub.įor the past several weeks, I’ve been using the Satechi Type-C Pro Hub Adapter, an all-in-one accessory that meets all of my needs when it comes to plugging stuff into my new MacBook Pro, and then some more. If USB-C is the future, the present still has lots of catching up to do, as we are still reliant on legacy standards such as HDMI, USB 3.0, SD cards, and more.
