Nope, you're falling for marketing.

The only reason you see those hubs for as much as $70 is because the only people that need them are recent MacBook owners who, stereotypically, will pay that much for a little hub. (don't hate on me for this, I own a MacBook and just think the majority of owners don't know/care how much tech should cost). Also can find them for under $30 on Amazon in about 20 seconds.

Also you must have no clue how manufacturing works if you think it's $10 worth of plastic lol. It's probably closer to fifty cents.

Lasty, you can't just say something cost $100 to make if consumer products you could sorta make duck tape together would add up to that amount. Each product has it's individual manufacturing cost and product margin factored into the sales price.

So no, it's not a good deal.... but it doesn't matter because due to the propriatary nature of the chip no one else can make a competing product. Nintendo probably makes an enormous profit on a low volume of sales because some people will buy it no matter what price. It sucks for the consumer but it's probably great for Nintendo.

$7 HDMI cable,$9 USB cable, $14 charger, $28 for a hub that splits USB-C into HDMI, USB-A, and USB-C, leaving $32 for the plastic shell.

Over priced? Yes. But honestly by not as much as I'd have thought before breaking it down.

u/WellTimedPoop · 5 pointsr/NintendoSwitch

Yeah, I'm really hoping in the near future somebody (if not nintendo) releases a dockless dock. Like, a USB C to HDMI adaptor like this.


I'm going to visit a friend four hours away tomorrow night, and it's a bit of a bummer that I have to pack up the dock and everything so we can play MK8 on his TV

This one

Works for me under Pie, but there's some AR problems. Fiddling with SecondScreen improves it somewhat.

Haven't tried under Oreo. It could be perfect.

u/MrCrudley · 2 pointsr/macbook

I have this one for my Spectre x360. Haven't even used it yet cause I really never use USB or hook up to an external monitor. But figured I'd grab one just because. The dongles very well built and looks nice, good for on the go.

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.

u/NotRoryWilliams · 2 pointsr/applehelp

I got this one on Amazon for about $27 and it works perfectly with my MacBook Pro. I see no reason why it shouldn't work on your iMac. But for $27 I say order one and give it a try, just return it if it doesn't work.

I've not tested the desktop mode (not enrolled in the beta) but can't see why it wouldn't work with this.

​

I've been able to screen mirror with it. I can also do power+video+data through it.

u/DeviceManager · 1 pointr/essential

Yes, i ordered one that works 100% off Amazon for $16.99 and it includes a c-type charger port and USB-A Port...

u/infernogott · 1 pointr/gpdwin

Yeah, that's what I thought as well.

Is it possible to use a USB-C to HDMI Adapter and use the USB-C instead?

Maybe something like this to be able to charge it while connected to a monitor? https://www.amazon.com/Travel-Inspira-Recharging-MacBook-Chromebook/dp/B01GKSPMCQ/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1483157142&sr=8-6&keywords=usb+c+hub+hdmi

What I'm expecting is a USB-C port on the bottom of the Switch tablet and a USB-C power adapter included in the box.

The dock itself will have a USB-C male port facing upwards that goes into the tablet when the tablet is slid into the dock and the dock will also have a USB-C female port on the back that the charger is plugged into.

The dock will also have an HDMI output port on the back, two USB ports on the side, and possibly two more USB ports on the back. The single USB-C connector on the tablet can provide for all that as USB-C can simultaneously do video output, charging, and USB connectivity too. The dock will need some simple electronics in it like a USB hub and maybe something for the video.

When you're on the go, you can unplug the AC adapter from the dock and take it with you to plug directly into the Switch's USB-C port to charge it. If we're lucky, Nintendo will use a very standard implementation of USB-C which would allow someone to use a dongle like this for traveling.

This one is $30 but I have had no problems with:

This one I got for $10 and is also great for quick USB port usage, including charging:

I don't know if they'll power your external HDD but they do suffice for charging my S7 Edge so I don't see why they wouldn't charge an iPhone.
