Perfect to avoid rooting around at the back of the screen. Never had a bad Anker product.

I wanted an easy to reach 10Gbps USB hub with an SD card reader and this fits the bill well. However, I wasn't so keen on clamping this to the glass surround of my iMac or blocking the speaker/vent. So I also purchased a 1.5m male to female USB-C cable and screwed a small 11x11mm batten to the underside of my desk. It all works well and the results of a speed test are shown. The only small problem I had was with the USB-C extension cable which strangely only worked properly with the plug one way round. I guess this is something to do with how this particular cable is wired?

Cover an exhaust or speaker on the 2020 M1 iMac so it's not the best solution and it's expensive too! Well-made though.

Didn’t fit my iMac as it’s a n older model but sits on my base and does its job

Reasonable price when compared to many other hubs. Is easy to install and stays firm. Usual Anker quality, I love their products!

Would have liked it more if the colour of the front panel matched that of the iMac

I have always been fond of Anker products. I've always found them attractive — and, most importantly, they perform flawlessly. Even though I have just now installed the new Anker 535 USB-C Hub for my M1 iMac, I can already tell this device will not disappoint. The installation was so simple — turn the wheel on the rear of the device to open the clamp, ease it onto the front of the iMac, and turn the wheel back to tighten it. All that is left is to plug the attached USB-C cable into a Thunderbolt port on the back of the iMac. I have already performed backups to three external drives. The process was quick and flawless. Suggestions: 1) Place the hub about 2 - 3 inches from the right side of the computer. The iMac speakers are located on the bottom corners of the iMac. I don't think this really matters since the speakers are inside the computer and deliver the sound all across the lower vents. Still, it makes me feel better not to place the hub directly over the speaker location. 2) Plug the cable into a Thunderbolt port (one of the first two). Again, this may simply be my own preference — but I would think the Thunderbolt ports deliver more power than the simple USB-C ports (the last two ports on most iMac models.) This hub delivers a full 10 Gbps — while most of its competitors only provide 5 Gbps ports. It is also just more attractive, IMHO, than the others. There is only one caveat. The hub only comes in silver — while one of its competitors supplies face plate inserts for the various colors of the M1 iMac. While this may be pleasing in some respects, the actual result is less than attractive — again IMHO. It helps that my iMac is the blue version which blends nicely with the hub.

Extremely handy hub. All most used ports in front of the Mac. Trusted brand also!

Excellent, it was installed very easily and works without any problems. It also aesthetically fits very well.

Great addition to my Apple IMac 27” Everything works seamlessly and I get to charge my phone while on the computer!

Das Hub wirkt wertig und lässt sich leicht montieren. Es funktioniert einwandfrei und erfüllt seinen Zweck. Ich habe nichts auszusetzen.
