Smart Usb Charging And Macbook Air

I love the M2 MacBook Air. The addition of the MagSafe charging port and it freeing up a USB-Port along with its weight and speedy processor (without a fan) and camera upgrade make this perfect for me. It hardly ever gets warm compared to my 2017 Intel MacBook pro. Just wish that the mouse cursor wouldn't disappear behind the camera notch and instead skip past the notch but maybe that's something that will be fixed in a future MacOS update. For me it's definitely worth the 200$ extra compared to the M1 Air.

I wanted a new USB-C cable to match the output specification for my new MacBook Air 15.

Use this for my smart television and my laptop that only has one usb connection. Useful for charging multiple items or transferring files between drives. The buttons are great for if you want to stop charging something but don't want to remove it. Great price for such a high quality and useful item!

Use with a MacBook Air.

The best looking MacBook Air

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Belkin USB-C 6-in-1 Multiport Hub with mount has been a game changer for my home office. The multiport hub includes: USB-C, 2x USB-A, SD, microSD, and Ethernet ports. I use a MacBook Air and this laptop lacks the USB-A port. I’ve been able to connect the hub to my MacBook Air to utilize the USB-A port to read my USB flash drive data sticks. The MacBook Air also lacks an integrated ethernet port. The Ethernet port that is included with this Belkin Multiport Hub is a bonus. I’ve connected my MacBook Air to a hardwired internet connection versus a Wi-Fi connection. I have experienced an increase in data transfer speed with this hardwired connection. This multiport hub is easy to use and takes up little room during transport.

My MacBook air only has usb-c ports, so this allows me to use any usb-a peripherals with it. Like thumb drives, hard drives, card readers, a mouse or anything else. It is very helpful and comes in handy frequently. I love the short cable and its flexibility. It is well built and sturdy, and the flexibility has just the right amount of resistance and strength. It does not feel fragile at all, but still can be bent into a position that you'd want. Because my MacBook has 2 usb-c ports right next to each other, this works better than a thick usb-a adapter which would be larger at the connection point and might encroach on the other usb-c port. This does not get in the way of the other port, which is nice. [I have received this product in exchange for my honest review]

I purchased the Xcellon Portside Dock to expand the functionality of my 2020 MacBook Air. Disappointingly, the MacBook Air only provides two Thunderbolt 3 ports for peripherals, one of which I usually have connected to the power supply. In addition, the Thunderbolt 3 ports are not compatible with the older USB connectors that I used with my older MacBook Pro, making it impossible for me to connect my MackBook Air to the peripherals I regularly use with USB connectors. The Xcellon Portside Dock allowes me to connect to my MacBook Air using those older USB connectors. In addition to that, the Xcellon Portside Dock has an SD card slot, which I use to download photos to my MacBook Air. In short, I find that the Xcellon Portside Dock makes my MacBook Air a more versatile and functional machine.

This dock adds all the connections I need on my little MacBook Air. Two USB-C ports, two USB-A ports, HDMI, and SD Card and microSD Card slots is what that computer was missing, and this provides them all in a simple and easy to use solution. The two USB-C ports are far enough apart that I can provide power through one, and use the other for my 256GB Kingston DataTraveler Max that is too wide to use in the computer when powered. The dock fits snugly in the computer and doesn't stick out too much, and is easy to remove when I don't need it. My only wish was that it had been available in gold to match my computer.

I use an iMac with several USB drives and accessories. This adapter allows me to use those same drives and accessories with my MacBook Air. I have not noticed any performance differences when using this adapter to connect the drives to my new laptop.
