LENTION USB-C Multi-Port Hub with 4K HDMI Output, 100W PD, 4 USB 3.0 5Gbps Compatible 2024-2016 MacBook Pro, New Mac Air & Surface, Chromebook, iPhone 15, More, Stable Driver Adapter (C35, Space Gray)

I bought two of these. One for my personal laptop and one for my work laptop. Needed something sleek, decently priced, that would get the job done and this device did it. I won't tell you it's the only device I'd ever use (it's just an adapter after all), but I will tell you I like the product overall.The material seems like plastic wrapped in a metallic shell. 4 usb3 ports, 1 hdmi 2.0 port, and 1 usb-c port. It plugs in well, their space gray color matches my space gray laptop. The cable is solid feels solid. It's decent quality work. I see no real reason not to take this item over much higher priced ones. Again, it's just an adapter. Hence why I bought two.

I've had this operating for a few months, 24/7, with my laptop and about eight peripherals. One of the great things about it is that it passes the computer power supply through to the computer, and also uses it to run itself. I've got dual monitors plugged into it, and have only had one hiccup. Once I plugged in my laptop, and the displays didn't come on. No matter what I tried. So I unplugged the power connection, and let it cool down for a day. It always runs slightly warm, but that's no big deal. When I unplugged it, it was no more warm than usual, but I figured that would let things cool off anyway, and reset themselves. Sure enough, when I powered it up the next day, in the same configuration, everything ran just fine. And since then (it's been about two weeks), it's been running well. No problems. So overall, a great value for the money. Why pay a hundred or more for a port replicator when you can use this, and it's small enough to take with you anywhere?

I love this hub. It is true plug and play, no issues. It is a perfect match for the Grey aluminum case of my MacBook.The ability to charge my MacBook through the hub is an awesome plus. The HDMI port works flawlessly, the four USB3 ports also no issues. This one hub allows my MacBook Air to charge, to feed via HDMI a Video Monitor and provides four USB-3 ports (I'm currently using one to connect to an external SSD), while using only one of the two Thunderbolt 3 ports on my MacBook. I've only had it for a week and I hope it lasts for ever. It is well built so I see no reason for it not to. I highly recommend it.

I recently got a new MacBook Pro, which means I no longer had any standard USB slots. Since my DYMO Labelwriter and Logitech wireless mouse both had Type-A plugs, I needed a converter. The Lention was recommended and also on sale, so I ordered it.It seems to be well built and works fine with the label printer, my only gripe is that the mouse is a bit jumpy when I plug the dongle into the Lention hub, so I had to get a separate official Apple hub to plug the Logitech dongle into.

This review was long overdue. My first usb dongle seemed to be fading and I wanted 4 USB ports. Plugged this guy in and after a few days it seemed to not be working. Contacted Lention and they IMMEDIATELY sent a replacement. The replacement didn’t last and I thought, crap, another dud. Bought a DIFFERENT dongle and it didn’t work either. Why???Turns out it was my 2016 MacBook Pro. The thunderbolts ports are corrupted. I recently got a Mac Mini and the Lention hub is working perfectly on the Mini. I gave the other unit to my mother in law for her MacBook Air and it works perfectly.So, after much testing, this unit works fantastic. My old computer was the problem. And, Lention has amazing customer support with excellent response time. Highly recommend.

Have it in your toolbox or for travel

Update April 1, 2019: Lention reached out to me after my review below, the wanted a chance to get me another one, offered with their apology. It got to me fast, and after 30 days of heavy daily use on a 2017 MacBook Pro, it has certainly proven it's worth and reliability. I torture tested it by charging an iPhone and an iPad and a cigar sized portable battery, on HDMI displayed to a 65" monitor (1080), while downloading images from a USB3 XQD card reader, and charging a second iPad mini on an adapter with the USB-C pass-through. With every port used it was very warm to the touch, but not hot. The unit is built on a strong, well made and finished aluminum case, the 4 USB plugs and HDMI plugs are mounted rock solid, nothing is sloppy or loose. The cord is thick with wear collars on each end, but flexible enough to bend as needed. Looks and feels built to last.I bought this originally as a second unit, backup for an equivalent from another company that gets a lot of use, but isn't built any better and costs a lot more. I'm gonna use this Lention as first choice and see how it goes. They make a number of products like this, I'll try them again for 3 reasons: Better price, quality-reliability, and great end-user customer care.I'm really glad this company reached out. They clearly value the individual customer experience.(original review)Bought this as a backup for another USB 3 adapter, and was used only 4 times in 3 weeks. Don't know when it stopped, but when I tried to use it on the 3rd week, it was dead. Plugged my USB 3 power line in from MBP charger, the little white light comes on, but now it won't send a charge to my MacBook Pro, the HDMI is out, as are all four USB 3 ports. I guess I got a bad one. Sending it back. Manufacturer needs better quality control and testing before these go out the door. Frustrating...
