Belkin USB C 4-in-1 MultiPort Adapter (with 4K HDMI, USB-C 100W PD Pass-Through Charging, 2 x USB A Ports for MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, iPad Pro, XPS and More)

First off the design is simple, effective and practical - having this as a slice that raises the laptop is a great idea though it would be even better of the device itself didn't get as warm as it does - it kind of removes the advantage of adding an air gap under the laptop. However, so far it hasn't made things worse, just not really made them better. My laptop is on a stand anyway so the typing advantage is not relevant but if you used this face-to-face then you would possibly really like it.So - 11 ports! That sounds like a lot! It *IS* a lot! but since one of them is micro-SD and one is DisplayPort, one is USB-C in (and there's only that one USB-C port) and one is VGA (I mean who still uses *that*?) then you can see that actually this is basically a 7-in-1 hub at best for most people. 8-in-1 if you care about the micro-SD card slot... :|But, since it has HDMI (and for my single 32" 4K monitor it works perfectly, as I expected) and USB-A type 3 x 2 and USB-A type 2 x 1 plus an audio out and gigabit ethernet then is that really ok?Let's start with gigabit ethernet, since that is fundamental to the reason I bought this. Let's face it - wired ethernet is still superior to wireless if you can get it. But so many USB-hubs with ethernet will (trust me, they really will) just fail to initialise when the laptop wakes up. I have drawer full of them - good names too, including Anker. All pants at waking up after a snooze (I sympathise but they do only have this one job). Belkin, OTOH, make the official Apple adapter and they really will wake up when the computer does - especially on Mac - and that matters a lot to me. Performance of the network is solid gigabit ethernet, no issues at all.USB-A (type 2 or 3) works as you'd expect. I have a much longer 7-port USB hub plugged into one USB3 port and a backup disc plugged into the other and both are flawless. USB-2 is for the odd time I need a wireless mouse or odd random accessory. So far so good.HDMI is as described on the product page - I am TOLD it doesn't support dual monitors on Mac with extended desktop using HDMI and DisplayPort but I can't comment because I haven't tried. A single massive 4k monitor is more than enough and works perfectly.VGA? *shrug* never used it, likely never will.SD card slots both work well though I think they are "upside down" - YMMV but it's a small thing to me.Audio socket. Hmm, now you're asking. It doesn't show up as an audio output source on Mac volume control, doesn't "just work" by taking internal audio if you plug in headphones. Not really sure how it's supposed to work, actually. In the system report it shows as Unknown USB Audio Device / Unknown manufacturer and that's it. :( Looks like that needs some more work.(Yes, the MacBook Pro does have an audio socket anyway (and that supports digital connections if you have the right sort of amp) but if you use it with analogue connections it hums significantly when plugged into my amplifier on the same mains ring (so it's not an earth loop ok). I was hoping this device would sidestep the issue and allow me to escape the lag on bluetooth but sadly that is not the case.)So, overall, this is probably more like a 6-in-1 adapter but those 6 (or 7) ports work flawlessly and are all I really wanted anyway. If you wanted USB-C out, audio out and multi-monitor support then try it on Windows or find a different product. For now, this is staying on my desktop setup - the single cable connect is great and it does what I need it to.

Belkin one worked fine. We had another that was flakey, so ditched that & paid more for a one that worked without glitching. This one is good

This is a great little product, I wanted it to connect my monitor to my MacBook for a larger screen and it worked beautifully. it arrived fast and is great value for money. It has USB and HDMI ports and connects multiple accessories in one adapter. Well worth the money

I bought this to replace a Caldigit hub used with a 2020 M1 MacBook Pro. This hub looks good but wouldn’t liven up my screen via hdmi and the USB 2 had so little power it was only useful for a mouse. The Belkin hub is half the price, livens up my screen immediately, has extra functionality of USB C and memory cards plus both the other USB sockets have enough power for my peripherals. The connector is quite short but easily turns through 180 degrees to sit just above my laptop..Overall I’m very pleased with this excellent value hub.

Two annoying problems with this device- It makes the I/O of my Dell Latitude slow, specially bluetooth making my bluetooth speakers and bluetooth mouse to be laggy. This is not a problem of my laptop as this used not to happen when I was using a simpler hub.- HDMI does not include audio line so I cannot take advantage of my monitors' spearkersI went back to my previous setup using StartTech CDP2HDUCP in the USB-C and a regular USB3 hub in an independent USB portA waste of money

I’ve bought a few of these 4 in 1 Belkin adaptors to use as travel Switch docks for me and others, works perfectly without any issue! The only reason I gave it 4* instead of 5 is because the HDMI port is limited to 4K@30 which obviously isn’t an issue for the Switch but is limiting for laptops and other devices

Works well with my newish laptop that only seems to have USB-c ports. This solves that issue.

Easy to use
