[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been using this adaptor now for a few weeks and with several different devices. This "multiport adaptor", came in a small thin box the size of two or three Blu-ray disk cases. The adaptor easily fits in one hand and the cable is about a foot long. The device is wedge shaped and nice soft textured feel on the metal case and plastic cable. I have been calling this adaptor a "portable docking station" as I can't tell the difference from my other docking stations except that this one can easily fit in a pocket. I have been able to use the device either with added USB-C power connected or without. I have brought it into meeting rooms and used it like a HDMI to USB-C adaptor on several occasions. I have also used it with many connections like ethernet, USB-A hub, card reader and HDMI all at the same time. When I connect the device to my laptop (tried on several Microsoft Surface devices and Lenovo laptops) I was surprized how quickly it setup for me to start using the attached devices. If I had one wish for this device, it would be to have an additional USB-C port as I ran out of this port several times and need to choose between charging or using my accessories. I received this product in exchange for an unbiased review.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been using this for travel and visiting customer sites. It's been very handy as it's got all the required ports in a very small package.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Exactly what I was looking for from a company that seems never to disappoint. So handy on Apple Mac's with only two USB C ports. This will allow ethernet and all your USB peripherals plus the other port on the Mac for power. So this multiport saves you PORT SWAPPING least on Apple Mac! if you are in the market for a multiport then look no further I say!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] In my Work role I manage a fleet of laptops with USB-C ports and I don't always ask for (or get) the AC adapter. This physically small adapter does everything I need to power, connect to ethernet, HDMI and load software/drivers by USB/SD. Because of it's size, it could serve as a great travel adapter, however, it's cord length and management (it's supposed to create a loop with itself and a dummy USB-C port at the cord end) doesn't work very well and effectively doubles the size of the adapter in my bag. This isn't a complaint, just a comment. For a full-functioning USB-C adapter that leaves a very clean workspace, you really can't beat this. It's physically beautiful with a metal case in an airfoil-shape and the ports are located perfectly and logically.
