Third-party USB-C centers are infamously a no go zone. They get too hot, are missing important ports, or the ports they have are underpowered, and on a number of the ones we've evaluated, the SD card readers consistently fail to work. If you cannot tell, I own a 12-inch MacBook, and I, along with a couple of other colleagues who own the laptop have actually used just about every viable USB-C center to date, with less than stellar results.
Apple's multiport adapter is the very best alternative. But just by default. It works great, however only has three ports, no SD card reader, no MiniDisplay port, and no extra USB-C ports. It's not precisely pushing the world of USB-C peripherals forward and its overpriced for what it provides. However!, we might lastly have a good option striking the market soon that might satisfy everybody's USB-C requirements.
Fernandez states the company has actually been working to make the Arc Hub durable to the quality issues that have actually rendered other USB-C Hubs ineffective. The business has actually sourced premium parts and chipsets which is shown in the $105 price tag and has actually done substantial 12-hour long stress tests integrating SD card and hard disk file transfers, external displays, and charging numerous devices to make sure the ports do not stop working under load. According to Fernandez, no problems have actually been encountered yet. The group is working on supporting 4K display screens over the Mini Display port too, according to Fernandez.
