My long-term review after using the 2023 Mac Mini with the M2 Pro as my daily machine after 5-6 months.

Thanks for the breakdown, as usual very informative. I purchased a Dockteck hub for my M2 MBA because it has HDMI (8K/30Hz), 4 USB 3.0 and, most importantly for my usage, the power passthrough that you mentioned since I also use it with my iPad Mini 6. It doesn't hurt that it was reasonably priced, has metal construction and a nice braided cable.

Nice review which covers all of the many bases! If you're just looking for something to attach a monitor, LAN, speakers and some other USB-A/C accesories to a MacBook via a single cable, I've found the Anker USB C Docking Station PowerExpand 9-in-1 a great option for the past few years. It's also in that middle range and can be picked up for around £100, so pretty good value for money.

I bought a new M1 MacBook Air and then a dongle to increase connectivity. A few months later the Mac wouldn’t boot up, took it to Apple and thought nothing of answering their questions. Apple returned the laptop in 20 minutes saying the cost of the repair would be more than the purchase price. I was shocked and they calmly explained that I had used a third party USB port device which had damaged the laptop, and that I needed to contact Anker, the adapter manufacturer for resolution. Anker denied the claim, and I have a $1,199 doorstop. My point: DO NOT BE HONEST WITH APPLE AS THEY ARE LOOKING FOR ANY REASON POSSIBLE TO DENY WARRANTY CLAIMS. 20 minutes was enough time to read the ticket, blame the dongle and deny the claim.
@actualsavior
@actualsavior 6 ай бұрын
Ehhh, i see your frustration, but the warranty covers damages based on the use of the device only. When you add a third party device to it, you void the warranty. Its not just apple and any other company would not accept a claim for a damage done by a device not made by that company. Specially since apple does sell their own certified hubs.

While these CalDigit docks look great, it seems they only have display port not HDMI. I have an M1 2020 MacBook Air, and want a dock or hub that has a port for ethernet and at least 1 HDMI port. Why oh why can't Apple ever make anything simple with a wide variety of convenient options, like I'm used to with Windows...sigh.... :o :(

I recently made the jump from high Sierra running on a 5,1 to a MacBook M1 Pro 2021. I run a recording studio so I really needed reliability. I also needed a PCIe dock to house my 14 year old sound card. I ended up going with Sonnettech for the SE1 for the PCIe card, the Echo 11 Thunderbolt 4 as the main dock and their dual NVMe drive which I boot from when in the studio. Hopefully if my MacBook dies/lost/stolen etc I should just be able to buy a Mac mini and carry on as if nothing happened. Has anyone ever tried booting a Mac mini from a MacBook boot drive?

I switch between three computers (Macbook Pro 14", Macbook Pro 15" & Lenovo Windows), Need to plug in: Stream deck, ethernet cable, dongle for Logi & bolt, Dell 39" monitor (using HDMI as USBC isn't working), scanner via USB.. I think that's it. I only have the one monitor, use the laptops in clamshell mode.. Don't move files around but wouldn't mind the ability to read SD card but not necessity. I don't have any speakers plugged in - most of the time I just use headphones. I just want to be able to plug 1 cord in vs everything because I take my laptop with me daily to work and want to easily hook up when I get home. Do I really need a premium hub?

Hi Kyle, thank you for the many helpful videos. I have three external hard drives connect to a MacBook Pro. The drives occasionally randomly eject (which can be very frustrating when working on a file / video located on those drives). They are currently connected via a cheap Certified Data USB C to 3 x USB A connector. I'm wondering if this random ejecting of drives would be solved by a USB Hub - or if it is some sort of iOS issue. Have seen others with similar problems on some forums, but no clear solutions posted. Details: 2017 13 inch MacBook Pro running Monterey 12.6.1, WD MyBook 12 TB ext drive, Seagate 10 TB ext drive, LaCie rugged 1 TB SSD. All drives Journaled HFS+. Thanks!

Depends on what you're looking for - if you're following the advice in this video, remember to look for what refresh rate the 4K is limited to - in the case of the hub you suggested, that is only 4K@30Hz. Anker is a safe bet but if it were me, I'd make sure it's 4K @ 60Hz. Other than that, I'd just use this mostly as a guide to fid what's going to work for you, no one can make that decision but you!

@austinchen3623
@austinchen3623 8 ай бұрын
I think it depends on the tasks you’re doing. If you’re doing light tasks, the MBP won’t use as much wattage, so 80w is enough. However, if your doing medium to heavy loads, then the wattage used will get closer to the 98w of the charger, and the 80w PD won’t be sufficient to actually charge the MBP. So it can still be charged using the 80w PD of the hub, just slower or even not when doing medium to heavy loads.

I own the M2 Pro and have connected two monitors to the hub using HDMI cables. The hub is then connected to my Mac using a Type C cable. However, my Mac detects the two screens as one monitor, so it extends the display from my Mac but mirrors the content on both screens. Interestingly, when using a Windows computer, it functions correctly and extends the display to two separate monitors. Can you recommend a hub that will enable this functionality with my Mac?

Just to check I have a Selore docking station and purchased a Dell Monitor USB C. when I plug the USB C in the dock it doesn't work. The monitor only works when I directly connect to my PC (surface). Am I right in thinking that some USB C ports in docks are not for monitors and they just charge for example?

Selore hub probably needs *DisplayLink* drivers installed on the PC to stream video across it.

I need help, I was thinking of getting a hub to fix an issue I have. I forgot my password to open my iPad 11 2021 version. The only option apple is giving me is to restore it which will erase everything, but I want to back it up. When I plugged it to my pc it gave me a power notice saying it might not have enough power to power the iPad. So I was thinking of getting a hub so I can do a work around by powering the iPad and do a data transfer so I can back it up. Would something like this work? And what would be a good hub for that?

Nope you‘ll always have to trust the mac on the ipad for which you need the ipad code. So unfortunately there is no way of saving your data :/

My laptop only has a USB C Gen2 connection. Does this mean that I can only use a hub up to 5 Mbits/s?

The reason Netflix cannot be played is due to HDCP restrictions, and it's indeed a drawback of cheap hubs that lack HDCP support for playback.

The problem I have is not enough usb-c ports. Don’t care about USB A need C. Even Ankers 13-1 don’t provide enough USB-C. I have connected to mine 3 external Hard drives, the other day my Mac-mini shut down two of the drives for drawing to much power. Could I take the Anker and plug a usb c hub into one of the USB-c ports and get around the power issue?

How much longer until we get a true normal USB-C hub? Even CalDigit Element has more old usb ports than type C. I don't understand what the manufacturers are thinking, including useless things like HDMI or DisplayPort. Monitors are USB-C, no need to keep old connections, let's move on already.

Hmm. I need *lots* of ports without it crapping out, and don't need the monitor support, sd card support... Thanks.
