Innovative stand hub by Satechi. Works well for my iPad Pro ! 🙂
Excelente producto, un acabo muy bonito, lo que necesitaba para mi trabajo, lo recomiendo al 100%
USB-C Port is for Power Delivery ONLY. NO USB Features here. If you need more than the ONE USB-A port they provide, then get a USB Hub. If you are just using USB Thumb Drives and other low power accessories, then this will be enough, but if you are planning to use USB HDD’s and other stuff, get a powered hub. 🙂
If you are looking for a full blown Desktop Solution that you can keep your device in on your desk, this is nice, but lacking in a couple areas:
1. Lack of additional USB ports. You can take out the Headphone Jack and give us another USB Port would be more helpful. Or better yet, a USB-C and keep the UISB-A?
2. Lack of Ethernet Port. If you are planning to use this as a serious “desktop” solution, you need ethernet.
If you are using this as a portable hub for other stuff to add to your carry-around kit, then it’s fine the way it is.
This is a great product and very happy with the quality and the peformance. One issue I have had with other stands is they require you to remove the cover. This one supports the ipad pro with no problem, case included.
The video and charging also work great so all in all, good product.
Overall, I like this product. Unfortunately because I use it to review and annotate documents, having to use it in landscape cuts down on screen visibility
Fonctionne bien, fait ce qu’il a faire.
Je recommande pour une Ipad Pro.
Je ne regrette pas cette achat. bonne continuit.
Produit de confiance.
Je n’ai que de bonne recommendation.
Zuerst: Ich habe mir dieses Dock fr mein 2021 iPad Pro 11 Zoll gekauft als Alternative zum Magic Keyboard von Apple.
Das Dock ist mechanisch toll gemacht, bis auf den Plastik Einsatz im Boden aus Metall und es lt sich bei Nichtgebrauch oder zum Transport kompakt zusammenklappen. Am Boden ist eine Art Moosgummi, das verhindert Kratzer und sorgt fr festen Stand. Das USB C Kabel ist leider fest installiert, recht steif und kann bei Bedarf in einer Rinne im Boden verstaut werden. Da das Dock aus Metall ist, ist es ausreichend schwer, um auch mit steiferen Kabeln nicht auf dem Tisch herumgezerrt zu werden.
Alle Anschlsse funktionieren wie es sein soll, auch die Transferrate vom Pad zu einer externen Intenso HDD ( nicht die allerschnellste ) per Dock und umgekehrt geht recht flott, 280 GB haben bei mir +/- eine Stunde gebraucht, fast genauso schnell wie am MacBook oder direkt vom oder zum iPad ohne Dock. Auch mit meinen verschiedenen Kamera SD Karten war kein groer Unterschied zu beobachten.
DIe Sttze fr das Pad lt sich nur in eine Position stellen, nmlich voll aufgeklappt, aber das ist genau richtig fr den Schreibtisch. Die Sttze ist auch mit einem Streifen Moosgummi versehen und der schtzt so den Pad Rcken. Unten steht das Pad in einer mit dem selben Material ausgekleideten “Rinne”. Da der Schwerpunkt nur ein oder zwei cm ber der Tischplatte liegt, steht es recht stabil und sieht recht gut aus, besser geht es nicht; das Pad liegt aber trotzdem nur lose im Dock, eine Art aktive Halterung oder “Klammer” gibt es nicht. Fr den Schreibtisch ist es aber 100 % ausreichend. In einem rumpelnden Bus, einem Zug oder Flieger wre ich vorsichtig, aber dafr kann das Dock nichts.
Warum trotzdem nur 4 Sterne ?
So toll wie das Dock sonst auch ist ( gut, ca. 100 sind auch schon recht tapfer ) hat es fr mich leider zwei grere Nachteile:
Der erste ist, da das Kabel gerade ausreicht, um das iPad quer auf dem Dock auszurichten, senkrecht geht leider nicht, dafr ist das Kabel zu kurz. Beim 12,9 Zoll iPad Pro wre ich auch fr quer skeptisch, aber ausprobiert habe ich es nicht.
Der zweite ist, da, selbst wenn das iPad im Flugmodus ist ( Bluetooth, WLAn, LTE Mobilnetz alles aus und keine andere Anwendung luft, am Dock ist nichts angeschlossen ), das Dock scheinbar fr irgendwas Energie verbraucht. Mein iPad braucht im Leerlauf im Magic Keyboard von Apple deutlich weniger als 1 % pro Stunde, im Dock werden gut 3 % verbraucht, nach gut 24 Stunden waren 73 % “verschwunden”. Das Dock soll doch nur als Verteiler dienen, also kann mir jemand das bitte erklren ? Das Pad angeschaltet im Dock aufzuheben verbietet sich also irgendwie von selbst, ausgeschaltet ist natrlich alles o.k.
Da es also nicht “hochkant” geht und irgendwie Energie frit habe ich es schweren Herzens zurckgeschickt, ansonsten htte ich es gerne behalten.

Like a lot offers a lot of functional options and it’s solid like a brick I practice guitar so I can plug my headphones cable into it run along to my Tasman GT Guitar CD player with my electric guitar plug into Tacam CD Guitar player while my IPad Air is plugged in it for power. So I am able to watch Tabliture on IPAD hear my guitar and the music all at same time. As I was able to with an older generation IPAD Air that had a headphone jack. Device is clean looking offers me more options as now I can send image to my TV through HDMI cable.
The product works as advertised and will work with anything with a USB-C
producto de alta calidad relacionado con el precio elevado….
funciona perfectamente con mi chromebook duet.
Excellent foldable stand, iPad held securely. Charging and audio passthrough work great, no issues at all. Highly recommend.
Must have for iPad Pro
I have 12.9 iPad Pro M1 2021 and works great.
keep in mind you may see black panels on the left and right side of the screen on external monitor because of the resolution.
Apps like Amazon prime video, Netflix videos are shown full screen without black panel.
Having said that you can also use laptop to connect to external device.
This stand works great with the S6 Lite, which has a USB C connection. Sits at the correct angle. Some times I want it a little more upright and place a folded index card behind it as a shim.
Appareil trs bien conu, il ne manque qu’une ou deux positions pour l’cran.
S que es un accesorio algo costoso, pero la realidad es que es sumamente porttil, es fcil de usar, permite dar entrada a HDMI, salida de audio y lector de tarjetas de memoria, por si fuera poco es capaz de cargar el iPad incluso durante su uso.
Un inconveniente que encuentro es que el cable del adaptador, al ser muy corto e ir resguardado en una canaleta pequea “y a la medida” para cuando no est en uso; pareciera desgastar o daar de a poco dicho cable adaptador, entonces a largo plazo temo este conector se dae y el adaptador quede inservible. Espero estar equivocada y que el adaptador dure el tiempo de vida de mi tableta Apple.
Buena calidad en acabado y construccin, empata genial con el color de mi iPad Pro y su trabajo de hub y stand lo hace muy bien. Buena alternativa para considerar el trabajo en escritorio y a un buen precio por su servicio.
I picked this up and tested it out with a few of the tablets that I have around for testing. I found that much like mots of the other Satechi products; the build quality is quite good and it works as intended. However considering the feature set of this particular device; it is on the pricey side (at time of writing this review). This means there are definitely cheaper options that are also good; however I haven’t had much of an issue with most of the products from this company and this dock is definitely solid.
I used various USB drives, a portable HDD and used it to output video to a TV. YMMV depending on which device you plug this into. Some of my tablets supported video out and others did not. I don’t have an iPad to test this with so everything I used was Android outside of one Windows laptop I plugged in just to confirm its basically a regular USB-C Hub/Dock on a stand.
All in all its a good device that gets the job done, the integrated charging is a nice touch especially with so much power. It has no issues with something like a surface or other high end tablets.
Perfect as an iPad holder and hub. Stand and hookup your iPad via USB and you’re ready to work. It’s also portable, allowing you to work wherever you are at any time.
I like the Satechi aluminum stand & hub because it’s easy to use, very light! No need for any connectors, it’s all in one. Wouldn’t change it!
This gives me all the options that I need with my iPad. This has transformed my iPad into a laptop.
A cool way to give your iPad Pro more ports for when you need to use it as a full blow computer. It’s a tablet stand and a USB C hub with Power Delivery and HDMI video output. It’s lightweight and folds up into a a small size, so you can keep it in your bag with your charger and other things that you carry daily. The quality is very good with most of the stand being made of a space gray colored aluminum. Only a little bit of the product is made from rubber/plasitic. It looks to be very durable and should last the lifetime of your iPad, and then some. It will work with any tablet that has USB C that supports video output, but NOT with iPads that have a Lightning port because this is meant for the iPad Pro/iPad Air 4. Keep in mind that iPad OS is still limited and this dock will not turn your iPad into a Mac, you can thank Apple for that. They insist on enforcing unnecessary limitations at the system level, making it impossible to truly utilize an iPad Pro in a Mac like way. The file system, lack of windowing, RAM limits per app, and lack of true support for external displays (being able to use the full screen) really hinders what you otherwise could do on the M1 iPad Pro or even the A14 on the iPad Air.
I have several Satechi products and they are all outstanding this one is no exception.
Light weight and portable if required I would hight recommend this produc
I love this, makes it so easy to store my laptop!!!
Cons
– Only one usb-c input port, so if you are charging, you cannot attach something like an external drive or a specialty card reader w/out unplugging the charging cord. Usually drive run a bit slower if you are using them while on battery vs powered. You can use a reg usb-port via an adapter to run a drive off of, but then it would be much slower. Really needs one port to keep it all powered and one additional to run a drive or any secondary device.
– the hinge appears to me made of plastic and I am not sure how long it will last, feels a bit cheap given the price of the unit.
Pros
Unique concept
Built in usb c cable for connecting to iPad
Lightweight and easy to store
Produktqualitt absolut top. Alle Anschlsse funktionieren wie versprochen. SD Karten und Sticks mssen natrlich in einem Apple konformen Format vorliegen. HDMI sollte zwingen mit einem 2.0 Kabel angeschlossen werden. Mit einem 1.4 hatte ich kurz Probleme. Kann allerdings sein das es am Monitor gelegen hat. Mit 2.0 Kabel dann alles tadellos. Getestet mit IPad Pro 12.9 (2020) und IPad Air (2020).
Gemessen an dem was das Stand an Qualitt und Mehrwert bietet ist auch der Preis nicht wirklich zu hoch.
I found this to be good that it’s got a small footprint, and it’s exactly as described. But I decided to get a full keyboard from Logitech instead for a complete computing experience instead.
This is actually a pretty useful stand that can be used for a bunch of different purposes.
I’m currently using it with a 2021 iPad Pro 12.9″ M1 device and it’s great for that!
