New QacQoc GN28K USB-C hub for MacBook Pros with HDMI

A few months ago we saw one of the most interesting hubs for MacBook Pro, with the best design and quality of materials that we can find on the market, the QacQoc GN28A. On this occasion the manufacturer has modified its hub adding a port HDMI 4K (30Hz) that can be used in any of the new MacBook Pro 2016 or 2017.

This is undoubtedly the most outstanding novelty in a hub that we really find interesting for those users who need to have more connection ports in the new Apple equipment apart from the USB C itself, but it is not the only one. This QacQoc model has a very elaborate design and some really interesting manufacturing materials totally in line with Apple's design line.

QacQoc GN28K layout

We are facing a design very similar to the model we saw previously, the advantage or disadvantage is that it has the HDMI port on the top of the hub and this makes it larger overall compared to the QacQoc GN28A (which does not have this HDMI). It should be clarified that the measurements in the model that does not have HDMI GN28A are: 9,6 x 2,4 x 0,8 cm, and in the case of this new model the measurements are somewhat higher: 11,4 x 2,9 , 0,8 x XNUMX cm. Evidently the having an HDMI port adds some size to the whole but nothing alarming.

The material is aluminum and it feels really well designed, we have the hub available in two colors for both MacBook Pro shades. en space gray and silver. The location of the USB C, USB and card ports SD and Micro SD It varies a bit with respect to the previous model, we leave an image of both QacQoc so you can see the differences:

Available ports

In addition to the HDMI the hub adds a port USB C Thunderbolt3 up to 5k or 2 x 4k @ 60Hz video, data transfer rate up to 40Gb / s. Add all the good from the other version and also the new port HDMI 4K 30HZ, 1 USB-C port up to 5 Gbps, 1 SD card reader, 1 microSD card reader and 2 USB 3.0 type A ports. It also includes a nice cover with which we can transport our hub and protect it.

Keep in mind that the delivery of USB-C power for MacBook Pro may be able to simultaneously transfer data and charge based on USB power specifications (USB PD protocol). It is not compatible with devices based on the QC (Quick Charge 2.0 / 3.0) charging protocol. 

Conclusions of this QacQoc

The previous model already seemed good to us and this QacQoc GN28K definitely improves usability thanks to the faster USB type C Thunderbolt 3 port, but also adds this HDMI that is so necessary for many users. In any case, it seems to us a very interesting product for users who need to have more ports apart from USB C. One more option for all those who need these ports today.

We can find this hub directly on Amazon for a price of 89,99 euros at present, but in this case and thanks to QacQoc we have a discount code for readers soy de Mac so the final price adding this code: Q79OA5AN will be discounted from the price a good peak remaining at 53,99 euros.
