USB C Hub, ZOETOUCH 9-in-1 Type C Hub with Ethernet, 4K HDMI, 3 USB3.0, PD Type C Charging Port, Micro SD/TF Card Reader, Mic/Audio for for MacBook, ChromeBook More and Other Type C Laptops

Ever since laptops began to shed ports in favor of a more simplified and streamlined approach to portability, hubs and dongles have become a necessary evil. I remember my first laptop having every port known to man, which was useful, albeit somewhat unsightly and cumbersome. The saving grace for most newer laptops are hubs like this one from Zoetouch.So far this USB-C hub has handled everything I've thrown at it without issue. In fact, there are so many ports for so many different connections, that even utilizing half of them at once would be a feat as there are so many special use cases built into this one dongle. At this time, the best real world test I've had for it has been 1080p video, USB-C PD, micro SD and ethernet simultaneously which didn't cause any unexpected results.As some users had mentioned, it does heat up; this is to be expected. The outer shell is made of aluminum, and acts as the device's heat sink. Electricity generates heat, and this cannot be avoided. It even states in the user's manual that the hub may reach operating temperatures of 122.18 degrees fahrenheit. Until the device proves to me that it can't take the heat, I'll accept this for what it is.The build quality is up to par with most mid-high end hubs and dongles that are available today. Each port feels secure when plugging and unplugging, and the casing feels solid. The cable extending from the hub hasn't shown any weakness so far, and the male USB-C plug looks and feels premium without any seams like some of the cheaper USB-C connectors I've seen.My one gripe with this hub is the layout design. If this was to be used as a permanent dock at a desk, the ports should have been re-arranged to make the more heavily used ports more accessible. Ethernet, audio in and out, HDMI, and USB-C PD should all be tucked away on the backside of the device as these ports won't be used as often as the USB 3.0 and SD card readers. The USB-C pigtail that connects to the laptop should be longer as well to allow for the hub to be mounted or placed out of sight.Overall, this is a very powerful tool that has replaced two other hubs that I've purchased in the past. Hoping to use it throughout the life of my current laptop, and beyond.

The Zoetouch 9-1 USB-C hub is an elegant bit of hardware and is basically essential for port-lacking devices such as my MacBook and new iPad Pro. With 9 different services, it's going to cover almost any situation that will arise from Audio, Video, Card-reader to external drives, etc.I was running data thru several ports (external drive, USB data, and a printer) along with HDMI to a large HD monitor and with the pass through charging active, this USB-C hub performed it job connected to MacBook without complaint and not a single data glitch. Modestly warm but not unexpectedly so. Quite Excellent!Note that charging is pass-through, so you'll plug brick into the 9-1 hub, then hub to machine.Bottom line: Solid error-free function is very important to me and this USB-C hub delivers the goods.Wouldn’t hesitate to buy again.

The dream was to connect one cable to my mac and have all the functionality I need. I've got power, HDMI, USB keyboard, and headphones connected to this thing. The peripherals all work. The audio jack shows up as "USB PnP Audio Device" and it works well. The keyboard works with no lag. The HDMI works with my widescreen (more than 1080p) monitor.My only issue is if I use the power passthrough, I don't get enough juice to charge the laptop. My dream doesn't work—I have to hook up 2 cables. This hub and power. The dream isn't perfect, but I haven't found a hub that is, yet.

This USB-C hub looks similar to the myriad of Chinese/Taiwanese hubs flooding the market. I was hoping for a good product, but unfortunately this one is awful.My experience:- unreliable video, glitchy video connection- daily kernel panics from macOS 10.14 (Mojave) when plugging in hub- microSD + SD card slots *never* worked (ever)- may have caused irreversible damage to 1-2 of the USB-C ports on my Macbook Pro. I have no way to confirm this, but after using this hub for a few weeks and experiencing all the problems, my laptop fails to accept any device plugged into the top-right, rear USB-C port (not even Apple's power supply) I would not recommend this hub to anyone. Its internals are poorly engineered.

This product randomly stops working when plugged into my 2019 MacBook Pro and it's infuriating. When this happens the hub goes completely unresponsive and won't work again no matter what I do. It still powers the peripherals I have, but no data/clicks/key presses register. Every time this happens I have to pull out another (Apple-made) adapter and plug all my peripherals into that and PRAY that this product chooses to work the next day.Imagine your mouse and keyboard randomly cutting out and not being useful unless you unplug both and replug them into another adapter. Imagine this happening on a near-daily basis. That's the experience this product has provided me.It doesn't matter if I have my charger plugged into this hub or not, it just chooses to not work for a few hours/days. It's hugely interruptive to my workflow considering I want to use this product as my "at home" hub and not have to dig out my second hub, which I carry with me on the go.All these issues started happening within two months of purchase and have only gotten worse to the point of being unbearable and the reason why I'm writing this review.Absolutely horrible product. I want my money back.

This USB-C hub does it all. It provides additional storage opportunities for your device with the micro SD slot. It provides an HDMI output to view your screen and larger monitors and devices, ethernet port, 3 USB ports, audio jack...the list goes on. Helps you to do everything on your device. When I travel I have used it to charge my device and use the other 3 USB ports to charge additional devices to keep everything powered up without having to bring additional power adapters. Trust me, you need this! Great product, great quality, very pleased!
