HyperDrive 4K Dual HDMI USB C Hub M1 MacBook 10in1: Dual 4K HDMI, Gigabit Ethernet, USB-A, USB-C, USB-C 100W Power Delivery, MicroSD/SD, Headphone Jack for MacBook Pro/Air(M1), Windows PC, Chromebook

This helped with a huge frustration on my MacBook Pro M1 14". I previously had one monitor plugged into the onboard HDMI and another with an adapter plugged into a USB-C. I had constant monitor flickering where the Mac would readjust applications to other monitors and then try to recover when the monitor connection stabilized.This HuperDrive took care of all of that. You'll notice I have two monitors plugged in to HDMI plus running power and Ethernet through it. Installation was seamless. Follow the instructions.After several months of use, I can verify on my Macbook Pro 14" it's stable. I've had a monitor flicker maybe 2-3 times. One monitor has a lower refresh rate but for office work (and even some light video usage) it's not noticeable unless I compare it with the other monitor. It maintains good color unity with the other monitor (that's an identical brand and size - LG 32") so I'm actually running 3 monitors if you include the Macbook Pro screen, all extended display.Two things that don't work well when plugged into the HyperDrive: (1) I don't get Mac (text) Message notifications. They're silent. Every other sound notification works except text messages. It's odd. Works fine when I unplug and use the Macbook Pro alone. (2) My Apple Watch won't unlock my Macbook pro. It displays a message at the login screen that Apple Watch won't unlock when using "screen sharing." Again, everything works fine when unplugged from the HyperDrive. I can live with both those.I've tried lots of cheaper options. None are reliable.

Bought it for using both on my M1 mac & my PC, because they say it works for both.While it still works fine on my mac, it only worked for a couple of hours on my PC and then stopped. The USB-C connection on my computer stopped recognizing this docking station.Not only that, the USB-C connection on my PC stopped recognizing ANY device that's connected to it.It ruined my USB-C connection on my PC!Until connecting it, this USB-C connection worked flawlessly for a couple of years.I am writing this review 2 weeks after I got this, just wanted to check if it's something to do with time.Now I have to fix this by replacing my USB-C connection (hope it'll work) or even buy a new computer.Also, the customer service just told me to contact Amazon's customer service, as if they had no responsibility for this product.This is my first review I am ever writing for a product, but this experience was so disappointing that I had to warn others (the most useless $200 I've spent in my life).If you're like me, and needed to use it also for a PC, do yourselves a favor and stay away.

I have used thunderbolt displays since Apple came out with their primary. With the M1 and the age, I migrated to new TB displays, but was grossly depressed when the M1 came out. I used a mac mini m1 for a while, which worked great, but ended up selling it due to needing the horsepower of the M1X.My company sent me a mbp 13 m1, and I needed two monitors, so I got this. It worked fantastic. There are some cavaets as I am driving high performance monitors 32"2K@60 hz, fantastic and holds up nearly perfect3K@60 hz, good performance on the 4K@60 port, on the other port there is a slight blur and there is a slight slower but it is not overly noticeable. At this configuration it burns 1/2 a performance core on the M14K@60 and 4K@30 ... you know the drill on 1/2 the frequency, but it works.This hub works well and if you don't get it, the key thing you have to remember is that you can't have USB3 on it. only USB2 as your need all the data channels to push the video. The USB2 uses the low power leads that are left over.As for opening the laptop with it plugged in, it will go to mirror mode as the GPU can't handle three displays effectively.What is great about this is it stores their application code on the hub so plug it in and it is instantly available with no searching of drivers.A good pairing if you want to limit the use to 1 port on your MBP, is to pair this with the Caldigit TS3plus. Why? you sling the USB3 and other goodies off of the hub, and plug this guy into the back for your video.Win-win.It is great if you are not a power user of the M1 mac in giving you the eye candy you need. It also works really really well with chromebooks (asus flip c436 e.g.) in fact I would say the performance is even better because chromeos has MST support.
