    iPad iPad 8th Gen Charger Support

    The iPad 8th Gen ships with a 20W USB-C charger and a USB-C to lightning cable. I'm using a PD analyzer to monitor the power usage of the iPad. It appears to not support the PD spec and therefore cannot take advantage of the 20W profile (9V, 2.22A). No matter the battery percentage of the iPad...

    Hub / Docking Station Suggestions

    Hi As a WfHer these days, I now have two Benq USB-C (with DisplayPorts, too) monitors hooked up to my 2018 MBP. As they don't have inbuilt webcams, I also have a USB-A model, attached to the MBP via a USB-C adapter. I then have my MBP power supply, which obviously is plugged into the last port...

    Macbook Pro & Thunderbolt 3

    I have a 2019 MBP which has 4 USB-C ports, and if you look at the specs, they are rated at 40 Gbps. I just bought a LaCie 4GB external Thunderbolt 3 drive, yet when it's plugged in, it is showing a transfer rate of only 10Gbps. Does anyone know why or where the bottleneck? I was thinking of also...

    USB-C hubs with two USB connectors to the MBP - are they solid and strong ?

    I've already bought a USB hub with a single port to the MBP integrated (see image below).. ...and it's outrageously bad - it was a Satechi brand and the single USB port is so flimsy to support something 20 times it's size and the things you plug into it. What holds in the ports is not...

    Can you hook a USB-C hub in between a MBP and a monitor?

    Hello there, I'm currently looking for a new monitor for my MBP16". While searching, I noticed that some monitors (well, one actually, the Philips 499P9H/00) have an Ethernet port on the back to connect to. So you could connect the monitor through the Thunderbolt 3 port on the back and then...

    USB-C Hub gets very hot on MacBook Pro 2020

    I just got the new MacBook Pro 2020 (4-ports version) and with that, the Dodocool 8-in-2 USB-C hub. I am seeing that the hub heats up very quickly and after an hour or so, it feels really hot. I am worried that it may damage my MacBook. Any thoughts? Thanks!
