The Dockcase Smart USB-C Hub 7-in-1 Explorer Edition is a useful accessory for Mac users who need to connect multiple devices. However, it is best suited to those who primarily use USB-A accessories.
The hub has a modern design and is compact and lightweight, making it easy to transport. It features a tempered glass top with a 1.33-inch LCD display that provides information on the hub’s activity and connected devices. The hub offers three USB-A 3.0 ports, an HDMI port, an SD/TF Card slot, and a USB-C port, but it’s worth noting that the USB-C ports are primarily for charging and may not be compatible with modern accessories.
When tested with a MacBook Air, the hub performed well, providing stable connections and the ability to use multiple accessories simultaneously. However, the hub’s USB-A ports did not meet the advertised transfer speeds, and the dedicated USB-C port did not provide efficient charging for the MacBook.
Overall, the Dockcase Smart USB-C Hub 7-in-1 Explorer Edition is a good option for those who primarily use USB-A accessories and need a reliable hub for connecting multiple devices. However, users who primarily use USB-C accessories may want to consider other options. The hub is available for purchase on the Dockcase Indiegogo page for $69.
