Works great with my MBA 13 inch

I wanted to use a 2nd screen with my new Mac mini. All I have is lighting ports and HDMI port. The HDMI is also on my computer screen. You can use a lighting port for a screen. You need THIS adapter. THIS WORKS. It took me 3 tries. Please get this!! It works great!!!

This dongle does not [currently] work for the Surface Book 2. I have contacted support and they are planning to update the firmware on the dongles to make them compatible, but until then they do not function at all.UPDATE 12/6/17: Plugable support has been really great, and they are sending me an updated dongle. Will update my review once it works. It does currently work great for an HP x360 and Razer Pro laptop, so if you have one of those, go for it!UPDATE 12/8/17: The new dongle is in and works great with the Surface Book 2. I am told they will be updating the rest of their stock to be sure they are all compatible in the future, but I would not advise ordering one for the SB2 until you are sure it will work. Plugable support has been great, and they went to great lengths to fix the problem!

Excellent item

I had gone through 3 adapters until I ran into this one for my 2016 MacBook Pro. They all "sort of" worked, sometimes connecting, and other times requiring me to reboot my Mac to send an image to the monitor. However this adapter connects my Mac to my monitor everytime.Bottom line: Reliable, it works everytime.Bonus: I also have at home a 40" 4k Samsung TV with HDR and this adapter correctly connects right away to it at 4k resolution and 60Hz with HDR.

This is a small and lightweight plastic adapter. I previously had a uni hdmi 4k60hz adapter that was much nicer with metal housing and a braided flexible cable. It worked on my lenovo ideapad 720s but did not work on my samsung galaxy book, only giving me 30hz. I thought it was because of the usb 3.1 gen1 ports on the galaxy book lacking bandwidth, but regardless of gen or bandwidth, if the usb-c port can support video, it should be able to replicate a dp 1.2 signal with the four lanes available, which does go up to 4k60hz. And yes indeed the galaxy book CAN support 4k60hz and this plugable adapter made it happen with zero fuss. The uni adapter is much more popular but I don't know why it didn't work. Blame the terrible headache known as usb-c standards, or lack thereof. Even though the uni is built much tougher, the plugable has its charm, as it is feather light and half the size. And if you happen to own a galaxy book, you kind of have no choice.

I'm a Plugable fanboy; that's why I bought this adapter when I could have nabbed a returned Microsoft for just a bit more. This is the first Plugable product that has disappointed me. I was already happily outputting 3840x2160 @60 Hz from my Dell tablet, using a well-shielded, ferrite-cored HDMI 2.0 cable connected through an unpowered USB-C multiport adapter (1 in, 1 HDMI out, 2 DisplayPort out) by CableMatters. But the multiport adapter was big and clunky. To free up some desk space, I swapped in the Plugable USB 3.1-to HDMI 2.0 adapter cable. The stable Ultra HD image was replaced by what appeared to be a 640 x 480 image that would be briefly replaced by gray noise about once a second. Restarting didn't help. Reversing the USB-C plug's polarity didn't help. Lowering the refresh rate to 30 Hz did. But who's happy with 30 Hz in 2023? I'll keep the adapter as a travel aid because it's too much hassle to return it.

Works great no issue so far on my ipad mini 6 gen
