Reddit mentions of Cable Matters USB C Multiport Adapter (USB C Dock with USB C to HDMI or USB C to VGA), USB 3.0 and Ethernet Black - USB-C and Thunderbolt 3 Port Compatible with MacBook Pro, Dell XPS 13, 15 and More

I have this one and the ethernet works just fine. Haven't tried the other ports.

Except it actually makes sense since there are few USB-C cables which won't fry your device. Also point out that I know apple overchargers for their stuff and yet it's still over twice the price compared to what nintendo is offering.

Let's use 'generics' from amazon to satisfy you:

Top rated result for USB-C to HDMI Adapter: $44

Top rated result for USB C wall charger: $20

So $64. Which is almost exactly what I priced the cost of the USB-C interface at in my post. And for cables which may make your switch go bust.

I'm 18, I'm a student and a IT guy (pretty good one too). I like fixing stuff


What I put in my pockets


Verizon LG G3 An oldie but goodie, been weilding this phone for a little over 2 years. Currently is running Cyanogenmod 13. Also has a 3rd party Anker battery inside which are a bit nicer than the one the phone comes with

Buxton Tri-Fold wallet Very sturdy and nice feeling wallet. My grandparents got it for me half as a joke as my last name is Buxton. Holds a second battery for my phone in addition to all the money I dont have.

Keyring with 144GB of Flash Storage on it. Keys for my house, and assorted flash drives. 2 8GB and 2 64GB. One 64GB is for my portable build of Ubuntu, the other is for Storing files on the go. One 8GB is for Hirens Boot CD, and the last one doesnt work and i'm too much of a lazy ass to take it off. Plus it looks cool.

Feild Notes I think everyone on EDC has one of these. Super handy. Above it is my handy Pilot G2, my personal favorite pen. Ive been using that one for about a year and it shows it with all the chew marks at the top.

Random Skullcandy Headphones.

Things I put in my bag


iFixit Pro Tech Toolkit Probably the best toolkit for computer repair, has literally every single screwdriver tip imaginable, plus some really handy tools for things like phone and tablet repair

2016 Razer Blade A wonderful gaming laptop, that can actually be used in the real world. Is very thin and light considering what's on the inside. Holds a 5ish hour battery life, so I'm not tethered to a wall all the time.

Steam Controller Wonderful for Gaming on the Go. It's a very good controller for PC Gaming, but only for certain people. First person shooters would totally suck on this controller (but then again they suck on every controller), but works very nicely for the games I play.

Logitech MX Master Probably the nicest mouse I have ever used in my life. Fits super well in my rather large hands, and the thumbrest button, speed adaptive scroll wheel, and horizontal scroll in addition to wonderful tracking and bluetooth support make it my favorite mouse of all time.


Cable Matters Thunderbolt Dock Very handy for a laptop that doesnt have Ethernet or VGA output, and an Extra USB port never hurt anyone either.

USB 3 & Micro USB OTG, SD Card and Micro SD card Adapter. Can plug into either standard USB or Micro USB, works as an adapter for a Micro SD or an SD Card. Also useful for a computer that doesnt have an SD card slot.

Microfiber cloth. The Razer Blade is a fingerprint magnet, so this comes in handy quite often.

I use this for Ethernet, VGA, and an extra USB port. Does the trick and is pretty good price for what it is.

If I just need a keyboard/mouse.

I use this for my 9350, works great. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01C316EIK/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I have this adapter; HDMI, VGA Video, USB 3.0 and Gigabit Ethernet: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01C316EIK/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I love.

The display was the biggest upgrade for me. The display brightness is higher, the high PPI and amazing viewing angles are great, and the whole macOS UI scales well with the resolution.

The larger trackpad is useful when paired with BetterTouchTool. I use the extra real estate space for more complicated gestures. Pressing top left or right to switch tabs for example. The trackpad doesn't click anymore; it's force-touch now with audio feedback but you'll get use to it. I prefer the new trackpad because I don't actually have to use much force to click anymore.

The keyboard is definitely different from the older model. The key travel isn't nearly as large but it is larger than the first generation butterfly keyboard. Eventually I got use to it and can switch between a regular keyboard and the new one just fine. Personally, I like the new one for a few reasons: the keys don't feel as mushy and the whole platform depress uniformly no matter where you press.

The weight, or lack thereof, is a huge bonus. I can definitely feel the difference on my back. The 2011 was way heavier by comparison.

The USB-C situation isn't a big inconvenient for me. I switched to using a USB-C to microUSB for remote play so that isn't an issue. For all other USB-A or HDMI/VGA uses, I got this.

Finally, battery life and software stability are great. I never had an issue with them. The last time I fully powered my Macbook off was 2 months ago. It's been on and off the charger with no restart since. I wake it each morning for work and put it to sleep by closing the lid each night. Leave it in my backpack overnight and use it again in the morning.

So, to reiterate. I love it. For me, the price was worth it.

Dell charges about the same (list price $75) for their USB-C to HDMI adapter. Then factor in the HDMI and AC adapter, along with any snapping mechanics for the docking of the Switch itself and they're about equivalent.

You could go for the cheaper one at $45 or [even the $26 one] (https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01GKSPMCQ/ref=mp_s_a_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1485170502&sr=8-4&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=usb+c+to+hdmi&dpPl=1&dpID=31nWVKLFDiL&ref=plSrch) but you're losing some quality assurance here. Remember these need to be 100% reliable, even with 5 year olds treating them like the rest of their toys.

A good adapter with a vga, hdmi, USB 3.0 and Ethernet ports

It might be the adapter itself. I have this one and it works perfectly.

If that is a second gen vNitro get this

you only have to hook up power and the type C adapter, makes hooking up and taking with a lot faster and easier, you can get a type c extender and then you can hide the adapter behind your desk.

They made a USB-C to HDMI that is proprietary? Wouldn't that in some way make it either not USB-C or not HDMI?

This doesn’t have 3 USB ports, but here is what I use for my XPS 15 and it works great

Cable Matters USB-C Multiport Adapter with 4K HDMI or VGA Video, USB 3.0 and Gigabit Ethernet (Thunderbolt 3 Port Compatible) in Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01C316EIK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_V7HhAbM4WT3S8

https://www.amazon.de/Cable-Matters-Multiport-Thunderbolt-Port-Kompatibel/dp/B01C316EIK

this is the first result on Amazon (Germany)... just search for usb type c to ethernet or something like that on the Amazon page of your country, I am sure you will find something

If you are using a splitter you have only one HDMI connection and can have only one display on it. You can have two screens but since they are one signal split into two they'll show the same thing. If you have another display port in your laptop (hdmi/dvi/vga) you can plug that into the second monitor.

If your laptop has USB C you can get a graphics adapter like this one: https://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-Multiport-Thunderbolt-Compatible/dp/B01C316EIK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1483866212&sr=8-1&keywords=usb+c+video

That'll let you use the second monitor.

Edit: My bad, I didn't see that there were regular USB 3.0 HDMI adapters: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00H91BQ7Y?psc=1

I bought this one and it works flawlessly. Not the cheapest option but comes with VGA, HDMI, Gigabit Ethernet, and a USB 3.1 Type A. Well worth the extra cost. Also remember you get what you pay for. This one is well constructed and reliable:

Edit: Also forgot to mention. I've got an XPS 15

I don't use a hub, I use two USB-C adapters.

MBP 15" TB here, I'm mostly using it for "office" work, frequent 2-hour presentations on projectors and the occasional VMware for programming in Windows. I do not have any major problem with the USB-C, instead I got some extra convenience.

I got this adapter to replace the thunderbolt-to-ethernet and thunderbolt-to-VGA adapters that I used before (with the old MBP). Overall the "dongle hell" is about the same volume as the previous "dongle hell" and quite more organised.

On the other hand, there are some advantages. I bought an Anker 60W charger for the office and an Anker 24W charger for my backpack as a backup. This only manages to slowly charge the laptop when it is sleeping but it extends the battery life when I'm using it by about 200-300% - which is good enough for backup "on the road". I also bought some extra cables, so maybe altogether I spent about £120 extra but my setup is now a lot lighter and a lot more resilient to mishaps. Also, I probably spent less than how much the adapters, extra chargers etc had cost for the old MBPr.

Still need to buy an SD adapter.

I currently use this for my yoga 720 15:

No, just one external monitor (plus the primary display) and Ethernet simultaneously (also extra USB devices, but I rarely if ever need those ports). Other dongles I tried would kill ethernet when the external monitor was active and vice versa. This one has a second (VGA) port that presumably would work as a second external, but I have never tested that as I only have one additional monitor at any of my workstations.

I suspect USB-C doesn't provide enough power natively to push two independent HDMI/DVI displays simultaneously.

Hi there again (4 months later),

The problem was not the usb type-c neither GNU/Linux. The problem was the Dell DA200 adapter, so after researching I found a lad who bought a cabblematters adapter and it worked perfectly. If anyone is interested here it is the solution: https://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-Multiport-Thunderbolt-Compatible/dp/B01C316EIK

Try something like one of these, they will let you plug in an HDMI cable

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Cable-Matters-Multiport-Thunderbolt-Compatible/dp/B01C316EIK

I've used these on multiple DMPS's without a problem.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01C316EIK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_2mRCzbJCKF30X

those exist already, they even have some with an ethernet port.

I’m using a Cat6 Ethernet cable, connected to this adapter from Cable Matters:

While I haven't installed Arch on my 9350 yet, a verified reviewer states that the one linked below works on Linux.

BTW, if anyone wants to swap a 512GB 2260 M.2 drive for a 2280 M.2 drive, that'd be great...

Thanks. So will this one work?

Do you recommend anything? Is that the price point I am looking at? $50?

Lots out there. Thunderbolt accessories aren't widely available and ones that are (like the TB15) suck for the most part. Not to mention they're steeply priced.
