Twelve South StayGo | USB-C Hub for Type C MacBooks, Laptops and iPad Pro with included 1 meter desktop cable + stowable travel cable for Home, Office & Travel, Black

Very happy with this, good quality well built item. I mostly use this as a docking station, I have a desk set up with monitor, keyboard, mouse etc and switch between two different laptops for work plus my own Macbook Pro. It's hidden behind the desk and plugged into my Macbook power supply cable. The included 1m cable can then switch between laptops and charges them and connects them to everything without having to move anything else around. Also handy to take out and about with the hidden smaller cable inside to use as an adaptor for my Mac which obviously only has Thunderbolt ports on it. Very happy.

This is a fantastic hub. Has most ports, all clearly marked, that you may need for interfacing to your Mac. Comes with a stubby cable with is stored within the hub and a longer one when you need the extra reach. Construction is robust and weighty. It is expensive for what it is, cheaper alternatives are available, but for me it ticks all the boxes. A good buy. I award five ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Happy shopping.

Let’s be real here, Apple has always been rather minimalist with the ports on its devices, especially on anything not called a Mac. So when I got a new iPad Air earlier this year, the need for a hub of some sort became pretty obvious. Well, Twelve South to the rescue! As someone who’s been using their products for years, my choice was effectively made for me when I saw the StayGo mini available. Two clicks and three days later, I had it in my hands. And what can I say, it’s classic Twelve South. The hardware is top-notch, it fits solidly on the side of my iPad Air and it does what it says on the tin. In addition to the hub itself, there’s also a USB-C extension cable in the box that’ll allow you to leave the StayGo mini on a desk while your iPad or laptop is on a stand. I’ve only used it briefly with my MacBook Pro as a test, but it works surprisingly well. As for its intended use with an iPad, I’m currently writing this review on the train from Cork to Dublin, with the hub connected to my M1 iPad Air and an SSD and pair of headphones plugged in, and it’s working like a charm. That’s also where the picture for my review was taken. There are a few things that keep me from giving the StayGo mini the full set of five stars. Two of these are cosmetic in nature. The plastic face of the hub came with an extremely persistent protective sticker attached to it. Even after multiple attempts to clean that off, the residue is still somewhat visible. In addition, the hub is ever so slightly thicker than the iPad, which kind of destroys the seamless appearance of the hub. The third and last bit of criticism is that the StayGo mini lacks an SD/microSD card reader. It’s a minor oversight, but it would have given the StayGo mini just that little bit of extra usability. As it stands, it is an excellent bit of hardware that’s a must have for anyone who wants to use their USB-C iPad for anything more than just content consumption.

Solid, fast, useful adapter. Two sturdy cables supplied. Maybe it could have come with a pouch to keep the ports clean when travelling for the money. Other than that very happy.

This item has been fantastic but back when I bought it it was priced at nearly £80 and it has lasted <2 years so unfortunately I can't give it 5 stars as that just is not good enough especially when it has been sat on one desk not used for travel etc.

It has icons for each plug, but they do not light up when in use or not.

It’s tiny, has loads of useful ports and sits behind my desk out of sight. I can plug all my legacy USB-A devices in, Ethernet, HDMI and also provides power to my MacBook Pro. Everything I need from a dock.

I bought this as a more expensive option with the hope that it would be more reliable. Not so. The power charge pass through worked for about 5 mins before it stopped and the display connection also stopped. Following the advice of other reviews on Amazon I find I can charge the macbook directly and then run the monitor so OK - I can live with that. However it's also refusing to run my USB-A keyboard through any of the USB ports so I'm awkwardly typing this on the laptop itself. It's been a pain. It doesn't do what I need and it cost more than others.

More than what I need as far as speed and connections. Have used it on two trips, its great both at home and on trips. I more than recommend this product for use with the iPad Pro.

Diciamoci la verità: gli standard Thunderbolt 3 e USB 3.1 type C hanno rivoluzionato il modo di usare il proprio computer, dato che con un unico cavo è possibile collegare più dispositivi senza preoccuparsi che il notebook o il tablet abbiano le giuste porte. D’altro canto, però, è necessario portare con sé diversi e tanti adattatori, con il rischio che, casomai uno di essi dovesse essere lasciato a casa, in studio o in ufficio, si potrebbe avere qualche problema con il proprio workflow. Per questo, da anni quasi tutti i produttori di accessori hanno pensato di proporre degli hub per fornire con un unico accessorio da tenere comodamente sempre in borsa, le connessioni più diffuse. Da early adopter del MacBook Pro con porte TB3 ho provato tanti hub diversi con alterne fortune, ma mai nessuno mi ha convinto come quell’ordine Twelve South: in corpo compatto, sono disponibili, opportunamente distanziate tra di loro, 3 porte USB 3.1 type A, una HDMI, una Ethernet Gigabit, uno slot microSD e una porta USB-C con power delivery a 85W. Nonostante le dimensioni ridotte, il corpo in solido alluminio ben dissipa il calore, tanto che è possibile utilizzare l’hub di Twelve South anche come docking sulla propria scrivania. Non mancano ben due cavi USB-C: uno, corto, riponibile all’interno del corpo dell’accessorio, e un secondo di un metro di lunghezza più comodo da sfruttare se lo si usa come docking station fissa. I difetti? Il supporto degli 85W in PD che non consentono di ricaricare il MacBook Pro da 15,6” e da 16” e il prezzo, non propriamente in linea con gli altri prodotti del settore, ma più che giustificato dalla qualità del prodotto.

I bought this dock on the recommendation of a friend, and it's good in that unlike some cheaper docks it does what it promises and doesn't seem to overheat – it's got an heat transmitting aluminium casing for this reason. However, I didn't notice in the specs that it only provides 30Hz refresh rate on the HDMI port if you're doing 4K resolution. As a result, the mouse pointer and scrolling etc is noticeably juddery on screen. Unfortunately the only way around this is to get a separate USB C to HDMI 2.0 converter that can support 60Hz 4K, or alternatively use a USB-C to DisplayPort cable if your monitor has a DisplayPort input. Everything else about it has worked well - the USB 3 and Ethernet works fine.

Ich benutze es schon seit fast vier Jahren und es ist ein super Ding.

Nie podobał mi się odcień bieli tego produktu.
