★★☆☆☆
Large. Bulky. Doesn't fast charge iPhone. If using both USB-C ports, only 50W available to each.
This is the third USB-C enabled hub I've owned. The previous were made by Nekteck: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0712252ZQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_N1cGDb4DTY37W and one by Satechi: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07M97XGNZ/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_U_1WcGDb4F35FZA I actually own three of the Nekteck and have them around my house. The Nekteck has one USB-C port, up to 60W, and three USB-A ports that share a max of 12W, which is acceptable but I wanted a way to charge my laptop at 87W and my iPhone faster than 12W, or charge two USB-A devices each at 12W. I use a 15" 2018 MacBook Pro and a portable USB-C battery from ZMI that can charge and discharge at 45W. I also have the USB-C to Lightning iPhone cable for fast charging, and also sometimes charge a Ronin SC which fast charges over USB-C but can also slow charge on USB-A, and a dual battery charger for my camera's batteries that uses micro-USB from a USB-A port. I carry the Satechi in my bag because it has one 60W port, one 18W USB-C port, and the two USB-A ports share 12W total. I can charge my laptop at 60W while still charging another device from the USB-C port. I had hoped this could replace the Satechi, but it only delivers 100W if the single USB-C port is in use. If I even plug my iPhone in via the second USB-C to lightning cable, not only does my laptop drop to 50W, but neither of the USB-C ports seem to support fast charging an iPhone X! I frequently edit video on my laptop while another device charges and often 60W is barely tolerable but 50W or less is unacceptable for a charger that costs three times more than the Nektech and is over twice as big and heavy. I really wish this could do proper iPhone fast charging, and I also wish it could intelligently split and/or prioritize one USB-C port depending on power demands from my laptop. I'm better off returning this and continuing on with the smaller, lighter, and cheaper Satechi or Nekteck. It even looks like the Nekteck just got an update to a new model that supports 87W on one USB-C port, while delivering 12W each to two pairs of USB-A ports: https://www.amazon.com/Nekteck-Charger-Certified-Delivery-MacBook/dp/B07DGTFQTD/ref=dp_ob_title_wld
