Hyper USB-C Hub, 10-in-1 USB Dock, Universal Dual Display 4K HDMI, Ethernet, USB-A, USB-C,MicroSD/SD - for MacBook M1 M2 Pro/Air, Windows PC, Chromebook - Silver

It really works well. I bought it not being sure if I could get 2 screens to work, and now I have 3 (including laptop’s). Very easy to use, just plug it in and open the Hyperdisplay icon on the desktop and you can set it to either mirror or extend monitors. The ethernet connection works well, I wanted to plug in the cable rather than being on wifi and the speed is good. So far so good. the device itself is built well, can get a bit hot but that is expected from these types of hubs. I would definitely recommend it. hopefully it will last (fingers crossed)

I got this because I needed my Macbook Air M2 (2022) to work with a dual monitor setup. Plugged it in, installed the software (had to restart) but then instantly worked perfectly! Its small and compact so I can travel with it and has all the additional ports and functionality that I need. Been trialling it now for almost two months and I am very happy!

The short (TL:DR) version: Be aware that rotation (eg if you have a ‘tall’/portrait-oriented monitor) ONLY works on one of the HDMI ports - the ‘native’ one. The other HDMI port uses software to drive it (and you need admin permissions to install and grant screen recording perms) and does not allow any rotation at all, at least in Mac OS Ventura anyway, I can’t speak for other versions of Mac OS… That’s the short version, here’s the long version…I have two MacBooks, a work one and my personal one. The work one is older and has an intel chip, the personal one is a newer one with Apple Silicon - M1, in my case. Like most people here I find it crazy that I have to pay this much extra to put back functionality that Apple removed, but it is what it is. I’d been using 3 screens on my work MacBook for a while - the inbuilt screen + 2 external monitors, one landscape and one portrait. And I’d just been using two cheap (sub-£30 GBP) USB hubs to feed the monitors with no issues. I ‘upgraded’ my personal MacBook to an M1 and immediately saw that it could only drive one screen natively so after a bit of procrastination I finally stumped up the money to buy this adapter.Got it out of the box and plugged it into the M1 MacBook with both monitors connected via HDMI. Only one of them worked, and I realised that it doesn’t ‘just work’ out of the box, you have to install the software. Basically one of the HDMI ports (the one closer to the ethernet port) works ‘natively’, without needing any software, and the other HDMI port (the one further from the ethernet port) only works through the software - Mac OS Instantview. Which is fine in theory, but it’s yet another app running in the background, yet another little icon on the menu bar at the top of the screen.The Hub has a small bit of storage inbuilt and both the Mac (.app) and Windows (.exe) versions of the software are on there once you plug it in. Unfortunately for me as soon as I tried to open the .app file in Ventura on the M1 machine I had a message saying that the Mac OS Instantview app was damaged and should be moved to the bin, which wasn’t a great start. So I googled and found a DMG file online for the app so downloaded it and then it did install OK.I noticed right away, however, that there was no option to rotate the image for my ‘tall’/portrait-oriented screen. I was beginning to think I would have to return this product when I had the bright idea of simply swapping HDMI cables around to check. Lo and behold the rotation option appeared for my portrait screen and disappeared for my landscape screen. So do note that rotation is only enabled on one port, the native one. So if both of your external monitors require rotation this product will likely not work for you.Be aware also that the app needs screen recording permissions to be granted in Mac OS’s privacy settings otherwise it can’t work. This is fine on my personal machine but on my work machine it’s locked down by my organisation’s admin and I can’t grant those permissions, or indeed install apps at all. Which leaves me in an annoying situation where I have to use different solutions for my personal and work MacBooks as follows:1. My personal M1 MacBook MUST use this adapter to drive 2 external monitors because it can only drive 1 natively, there is no other option.2. My work Intel MacBook MUST drive both external displays natively because I cannot install software or give permissions, so I have to continue to use 2 USB hubs.This means that I cannot simply unplug my work machine and plug in my personal machine in order to switch between them, instead I have to also unplug/re-plug HDMI cables into different assortments of USB hubs for each. It’s not really a fault of this product though, it works well as a workaround to a problem Apple created, but it’s worth pointing all this stuff out in case anybody else might be in a similar situation to me. Hope it helps someone and if any responsible Apple staff/engineers are reading this, curse you for this horribly messy situation! Be ashamed of yourselves.

It crashes all the time. You can connect a second screen with a mac but as soon as you do anything on that second screen is crashes

Been using for several months with no issues

Based on frustrating experiences with a range of other USB-c docks, this one has been by far the most reliable but then due to the fact it uses DisplayLink technology for one of the screens this comes with other considerations.Firstly on slightly older laptops that may only support one monitor via the dock it enables the second to work however it requires you to install the DisplayLink driver which if you do not have admin rights is not possible. The monitor connected via DisplayLink suffers from very slight blurring and on occasion windows updates have led to the driver to get stuck in a crash loop where the screens just keep flickering until you disable the extra monitor but this was fixed shortly after each time with a newer driver.The dock is always very hot to the touch but does stay on and does no lose screens when the system resumes from standby or where devices attached to it randomly stop working which was happening with Kensington docks where you have to keep unplugging and plugging cables back in so this is less frustrating although there is still room for improvement.One day hopefully someone will invent one that works 100% of the time which currently no docks seem capable of however much they cost.

Finally!!! I'm now able to have two external monitors with my macbook air with the M1 chip.

Bought this solely for using two monitors on a 24 inch iMac.. Does exactly what it supposed to do. No software to install, just plug and play... Well worth the investment
