This is the third hub that I have bought since I got my new laptop and this is the first one that works accordingly. Both my external monitors work with no problems, unlike the previous hubs. Definitely recommend it if you have an M1 chip laptop!
1.0 颗星,最多 5 颗星HDMI port does not work with my Dell Ultrasharp 24 monitor

this was my second try with this Belkin USB C hub (I returned the first). I have a Macbook Pro with four USB-c ports. When I plug in the hub and connect the monitor through the HDMI port, the computer cannot detect the monitor. The monitor is a Dell Ultrasharp 24 (only two months old).
I know it isn't a problem with computer or monitor because I have another (rather crappy off brand) USB-C hub that works fine.
Disappointed since I thought Belkin was quite a reputable brand.
I bought this to connect a Chromebook to a TV, and I needed a number of USB ports for peripherals (mouse, keyboard, webcam). I chose the Belkin because I know the brand and previously had a smaller model. Unfortunately, no sound was passed through the HDMI port of this one, so I returned it.
As laptops evolve, their ports are gradually being taken away, creating a real need for docking stations just like this one.
Belkin’s stated objective in their listing for the 11-in-1 Multiport Dock is “Supplies multimedia and Ethernet ports that have been eliminated from the latest Apple and PC laptops”. Well to that end, yes it does; and thank you very much!
I know you can read the Belkin listing for all the details and specifications for this, so I’ll cut to the heart of this review.
The design premise of this docking station is to sit your laptop on the top of the unit. With that in mind, having the keyboard tilted does make typing easier and the screen can be adjusted to a comfortable position.
I have a MacBook Pro 13” and I spent quite a bit of time playing around with placement. Trying to find a position that doesn’t rock or appear slanted was proving to be difficult, however; I did finally find a position that was stable and comfortable to use. The cord on this device is way too short and frustratingly stiff, hence the problem with finding a good position for my laptop on it. As other reviewers have mentioned, this device connects on the left side of your computer; so if you don’t have a USB on the left, you may want to keep searching. It is for these 2 reasons that I deducted star.
I like the fact it has the MicroSD & SD card readers. I normally use a USB jump drive, but there have been times when I wanted to jump pics straight from the cards. I definitely could have used a few more USB ports too. Although, I’m pretty sure I’d figure a way to max out however many they provided, LOL.
I don’t know why I had it in my head that this unit was going to have a footprint almost equivalent to my laptop. That doesn’t make sense, as it would be just another clunky thing to have to travel with. It is thankfully much smaller, less than 1/3 the footprint of my laptop and oh so light. YAY!!!
One thing I just LOVE about Belkin, is that it always works with Apple products.
PICTURES SPEAK VOLUMES, so please take a second to check some of mine out.
If you’re still here reading this review, then this decision is done and dusted, so JUST DO IT!
