After my company changed my MacBook Pro to the new 16″ M1 Pro MacBook Pro, I can no longer use my Razer Core X Chroma since Apple M1 chips don’t support eGPU. Besides using my Razer Core X Chroma as my eGPU, I also use it as a 4-port USB-A Hub.
So I needed a 4-port USB-C to USB-A Hub. My usual first place to search is Ugreen shop on Lazada. I use their cables, chargers, and USB-C hubs, and their peripherals haven’t disappointed me yet.
There are two variants of the Plugable DisplayLink 4K DisplayPort and HDMI Dual Monitor Adapter. One with 1Gbps Ethernet Port (USBC-6950UE) and one without (USBC-6950U).
My guess is the one without an Ethernet port should be cheaper, but sadly I can’t find it on Amazon.sg. I only found the one with an Ethernet port on Amazon.sg retailing for S$139. After a 5% discount voucher, I got it for S$132.05.
I was looking around USB-C to HDMI Cable to replace my spoiled Choetech USB-C to HDMI Cable.
After doing some searches on Lazada, I chanced upon the Sumlett USB-C to HDMI Cable selling for less than S$10 and the reviews are good too.
I think Keychron K7‘s battery life is bad. Using it for about 8 hours a day, it could not even last through a 5-day work week on a single charge.
I disabled the auto-sleep mode because, for some reason, when the keyboard wakes up from sleep, it refuses to connect back to my MacBook Pro via Bluetooth.
The second Moshi Integra cable I have is the Moshi Integra USB-C Cable (2m).
There are two lengths available, 1m and 2m. The 1m is available only in Jet Silver, while the 2m is available in Jet Silver and Titanium Gray.
Moshi Integra is Moshi’s line of braided cable.
I have the Moshi Integra USB-C to Lightning Cable (25cm) which is the perfect length for bringing it around.
The Moshi HDMI Cable is the second HDMI Premium Certified I have after Cable Matters.
It retails for S$40 and is made in Taiwan.
Bought the Ugreen USB-C to USB-A Adapter from Lazada during their 8/8 sale for S$3.99 with free shipping to Singapore. Their usual retail price is S$5.39.
This is a USB 3.1 Gen 1 On-The-Go (OTG) USB-C to USB-A adapter, and hence it supports any phones, tablets, and laptops with a USB-C port.
Moshi Symbus is Moshi’s range of USB-C Hubs and Docks.
The only product available right now outside of US is the Moshi Symbus Mini 7-in-1 USB-C Hub.
It has been a while since I heard the brand Verbatim. The last time I heard about it is during the floppy disk era.
I am glad they diversified into mobile accessories.
