Dell, cleverly, can be charged via a standard Dell plug or its USB-C port. All feature the newfangled USB-C port, and all but the Dell comes with its own charger. We’ve also since added Dell’s newest XPS 13 and Razer’s Blade Stealth. Our USB-C-powered subjects included Apple’s MacBook 12, Google’s new (2015-era) Chromebook Pixel, HP’s Spectre X2, and the Huawei-built Nexus 6P smartphone. Still, a few USB-C-powered devices do exist, and we gathered them up to stage a “plugfest,” testing USB-C’s potential for universality.Īll three of these laptops have USB-C ports for charging, but does that mean their chargers are interchangeable? Let’s find out! From Microsoft’s Surface Pro 4 to Apple’s MacBook Air 13, the vast majority of laptops still use proprietary chargers.

It’s pretty normal that it gets warm especially when all ports are in use, but it doesn’t get blistering hot.


Now I'm thinking about getting a USB-C Hub WITHOUT any PD just to be on the safe side.ĮDIT 2: I went with this option from UGREEN as it has all of the ports that I need and it doesn't have any PD.ĮDIT 3 (08/08/22): Pretty happy overall with the UGREEN USB-C Hub. Thank you!ĮDIT: I checked out these threads and it looks like a small percentage of users have experienced bricked M1 MacBooks while using the USB-C hubs for power delivery and passthrough charging.

I would also need the best quality pass-through charging. I need an HDMI port, micro/SD card slots, 2 USB-A, and 2 USB-C ports (for charging and for data). I was researching about what USB-C hub to get. Hey guys! I just recently ordered my M1 MacBook Pro in space grey and I'm super excited to receive it in a couple of weeks (blah international shipping).
