I use a MacBook Pro as my daily driver, and as I've said several times, I'm really happy with it. It's a 2017 13-inch Non-Touch Bar model, which means I only get two USB-C ports, and also endure "dongle-life" taunts at least once a day. Many times someone from the video team will come up to me and hand me a USB drive with a rendered video clip only to have me rummage through my bag for a USB-C to USB-A dongle. If it turns out to be an SD card, I'll have to go to the video team and get a dongle from them and use it. So far I haven't invested in a dongle simply because they didn't seem to give me everything I want in a dongle, or because they were priced way too high. That's where the BitLoop USB-C hub came to my attention.

Being in the industry I'm in, I've had the opportunity to try more dongles than I thought possible, but the BitLoop USB-C hub caught my attention much better than any of the other dongles had.

For starters, the BitLoop USB-C hub looks and feels great. It's built from aluminum and looks right at home when connected to my MacBook Pro. Plus, unlike most dongles, it brings with it just about every single port you'll ever need. It's like a swiss army knife of MacBook Pro dongles. Here are all the ports that the BitLoop USB-C hub comes with:

There are some things to note here; First, the Thunderbolt 3 port on the dongle supports pass-through charging, which means you don't have to disconnect the dongle if you need to charge your MacBook. The HDMI port on the dongle supports 4K output and takes advantage of the Thunderbolt 3 bandwidth that the MacBook Pro offers, and since there are 2x USB 3.0 ports, you basically have more ports on this dongle than you would on a 2015 MacBook Pro, so it's pretty cool, and both USB 3.0 ports are high speed so data transfer is a non-issue.
