One review says otherwise:So it seems the Apple Multi port Digital A/V adaptor is the only adaptor that can pass through the 87watt for the 15" MacBook Pro.

Not sure how reliable that is, of course. But really, I easily get through the day with a 3rd party 45W power adapter. As long as you don't charge multiple devices off the MacBook, you'll get by.
As far as I know, all limited to 60W. But yes, you could use them. They all have one surprise or another, like getting hot, having an Ethernet port needing a driver, getting hot, having a short captive cable, limiting 4K monitor output to 30Hz, not able to copy files from one connected drive to another, needing to reconnect after sleep, et cetera. Study and read the reviews, and make sure to test your particular setup before the return period endsSo its the case, then I could use any usb c adaptor like the HooToo adaptors or the satechi adaptors then.
Does it pass threw power for the 15" TB MBP ?

Yeah it does pass-through power. Charges my MBP just fine. But since I plug it in my laptop direct to a USB-C port and use the hub for the other USB-C port. I don't have many USB-C devices yet so I just got really 2 opened plugs.
Sorry to nitpick, but you can't make that assumption. The MacBook uses USB-C Power Delivery. It simply will request which wattages are supported, and ramp up its usage to the limit of the attached charger. Devices between the charger and the MacBook can certainly limit the wattage.So it passes threw the full 87watts then

Just because it charges, does not mean it charges for the full 87 watt. You can check this by connecting any charger, going to Apple menu -> About this Mac -> System Report. Then in System Report, check the left side. There's a Power item. When you select that, you can see at the bottom how much it's able to pull.
I just supported it for 69$. Im returning my usb-c card reader for 10$ and my usb-c to usb-a for 15$. Seems like a really good hub as i wanted an hdmi adapter and was willing to pay 20-30 for one. so 70$ doesnt seem bad for all that it does. Hopefully the 4k works wellSorry if this was mentioned in previous posts
What do you guys think about this hub? Looks fine

So it passes threw the full 87watts then. So this adaptor is better then the apple a/v one and how does the SD card reader work ? If it all works fine I am going to take back the apple a/v adaptor and get this one instead plus a usb c to ethernet.
HDMI on a dock meant for a computer doesn't make much sense as HDMI is a multimedia interface. For computer displays you either use DVI or DisplayPort. The beauty with DisplayPort is that you can have a DisplayPort++ port (DP++) which just means that it can do VGA, HDMI/DVI and DisplayPort. The only thing you need is a cable with the proper connectors at each end. Since OWC has settled for mDP you shouldn't have trouble finding those, in fact, most people can still use their existing cables.Can't believe it doesn't have HDMI but it has firewire.
What cables/adapters would you recommend for hooking up to a projector?Most dongles (USB-c) with VGA output won't work if used with 2meter + cables
I've tested 5 of them, and only the apple vga adapter works well on all situations I've tested (class room and conference rooms)
The MacBook Pro 2016 with the Radeon pro 460 isn't able to detect the video projector (macOS and windows) reverting to 640x480
How is the original Apple adapter connected to the MBP? What adapter from the USB-C to the original adapter?For me only the original apple adaptor worked.
These are what I ended up ordering. Hopefully it covers all my bases:
• Cable Matters USB 3.1 Type C (USB-C & Thunderbolt 3 Port Compatible) to DVI Adapter in Black
• USB Type C Adapter, AllSmartLife USB C Type to Mini DisplayPort/Mini DP Adapter Cable
• Cable Matters USB-C Multiport Adapter with 4K HDMI or VGA Video and Gigabit Ethernet
HDMI, VGA, DVI, and Mini DisplayPort. Hopefully these cover my bases for presentations. Any thoughts?
