Solid Hub

Love the new HyperDrive Duo 7-in-2! Compact and sleek design. The ports are well laid out and the dock fits nice and snug, especially with with the extra magnetic grip. The space gray matches nicely with my MacBook Pro for a great look. The only flaw would be that I can completely close the MacBook with the magnetic grip in. Minor detail, I know. Overall: solid product, fair price, super happy with my purchase!!
The design matches the look and feel of my MacBook perfectly. The fit is great. It's not bulky or thicker than the laptop itself. The functionality of the hub works perfectly as expected.
This dock performs as advertised. PROS: 1. Solid built 2. Clean & stylish design that matches Apple products 3. All the ports and connectors fit snugly 4. The magnetic support grip definitely adds stability 5. Convenient carrying case with magnetic closure 6. Convenient 4 inch "strip" USB-C extension cable 7. Discrete LED light that indicates unit is operating
CONS: 1. When installed, the magnetic support grip does not allow you to to close the laptop all the way. The hub needs to be removed. If you are traveling or on the go, this is not a problem. If you are working at a desk and put the laptop to sleep and close it 4 or 5 times in day, you would have disconnect and reconnect the hub each time. That becomes a hassle. 2. It lacks an Ethernet port. So it is only for use in a WIFI environment.
OVERALL: I am keeping it, mainly for travel and backup use
Not good as expected. Compared to price not worth it. I just like the design at this point. The usb charging is too slow. The dock is not tight, easily gets detached for a slight move
I have a 16 MacBook Pro and the HyperDrive while matching up with the 2 "C" slots, does not fit up tight enough to communicate with the drives. :(
