iPad Pro USB C Hub - Review

The iPad Pro has been a game changer in the tablet market, with its light weight and versatility making it a favorite among tech enthusiasts. However, for those who want to increase their productivity, there are limitations to the ports it has available. This is where the Dockteck 5 in 1 USB C Hub Adapter comes into play, allowing users to expand their connections on their iPad Pro.

Just as the name suggests, this hub adapter has five ports: 4k 60Hz HDMI, 3.5mm audio jack, 2 USB 3.0 and Type C 100W PD charging, all in one compact package. This makes it an all-in-one solution for anyone who needs to connect different devices to their iPad Pro.

One of the noteworthy features of this adapter is the HDMI port, which supports 4K@60Hz video output, allowing users to mirror or extend their screen on compatible HDTV, monitors or projectors. This high resolution not only enhances video quality but also makes work presentations, streaming, and gaming more immersive. I was impressed with how well this feature worked and now use it regularly when watching videos or presenting work.

Moreover, the 3.5mm audio jack is something that is noticeably missing on the iPad Pro. With this adapter, you can now enjoy listening to music through headphones or connect an external microphone for better audio recording. However, one thing to note is that this audio jack does not support inline controls when connecting with Apple headset, so I had to make some adjustments in my audio settings.

The two USB 3.0 ports provide fast data transfer speeds of up to 5Gbps, allowing quick access to files, music, and movies. This is especially handy for individuals who frequently work with large files and need to transfer them quickly. What's impressive is that it also supports 100W (20V/5A) power in, making charging easy and fast. The adapter has a maximum output of 92W that is passed on to the host, so there's no need to worry about power outages. I have been using this adapter for a while now, and it's become an essential tool since I no longer need to rely on multiple ports.

The Dockteck 5 in 1 USB C Hub Adapter is not just a powerhouse of features but also looks suave. The mirrored glass surface ensures that it pairs well with the iPad Pro and gives it a sleek and premium look. The slim, minimalist design feels like a natural extension of your USB C port, making it easy to carry around and use on the go. However, it is better not to connect it to an iPad with a case, as this can cause instability in the connection. I don't use a case on my iPad Pro, so this wasn't an issue.

The adapter's compact size makes it very portable, and the package includes a storage bag to make it more convenient to hold. The adapter is compatible with iPad Air 4&5, iPad mini 6, iPad Pro 2018, and later, and it can be used as a plug-and-play device without requiring any additional drivers.

In conclusion, the Dockteck 5 in 1 USB C Hub Adapter lives up to its promise of being an all in one solution for iPad Pro users, expanding the capabilities of the device by offering a range of extra ports. It's small, looks great, and incredibly functional. The compatibility with multiple iPad models makes it a wise investment for individuals who upgrade to a newer model in the future. With a 24-month warranty, lifetime technical support, and excellent customer service, Dockteck has earned my trust with this well-engineered, premium quality hub adapter.
