[QUOTE="Raz0rEdge, post: 1783736, member: 110816"] Patrick, good point. The [URL="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B072268Q68/?tag=macforums0e4-20"]HooToo USB-C hub[/URL] is cheaper and that's why I purchased it. But the new job got me my 2017 MBP and the [URL="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XRVX3XM/?tag=macforums0e4-20"]Satechi hub[/URL] on their dime and it's a bit more expensive. Interestingly the HooToo worked OK for a little while and then started misbehaving. The primary case was when you had to plug in an external monitor, I had to stage the entire process. First plug the power cable into the hub, then plug the hub into to the MBP, wait a bit for it to start charging and not freak out. Then plug the HDMI cable into the hub (sometimes remove and plug it back in) to make things work. With the Satechi, I plug the power and HDMI cable in and then plug the hub into the MBP and it's worked properly (charging and external display) every single time. [/QUOTE]
