One of the things that a MacBook Pro has to look for is to increase its connection options – we talk about the physical possibilities and not the wireless ones. This is what JoyDuo comes to solve, a small and economical accessory that acts as a hub and has really attractive details for those who use a laptop with macOS.
The dimensions of this product are small, as it fits in the palm of the hand. Finished with quality materials, JoyDuo consists of two parts that are decoupled to connect to each side of the MacBook pro and, in this way, that everything is symmetrical and well placed (without affecting the usability of the laptop).
In addition, the rear separation of the equipment is slightly increased, which favors offering greater heat dissipation. By the way, compatibility with Apple equipment ranges from 13 to 16-inch models manufactured between 2017 and 2019.
This two-in-one model includes a good number of connections that are sure to cover the needs of the vast majority of users. Next, we leave the connectivity that is gained by using JoyDuo:
- Native HDMI port with 4K resolution
- 2 x USB Type C (one of them compatible with Thunderbolt 3)
- Ethernet input for wired network use
- 3 x USB Type A version 3.0
- Headphone jack
When using JoyDuo, all this is achieved, which, as we have seen, is an excellent list that allows us to significantly increase the usage options offered by MacBook Pro with all kinds of accessories.
Additional details offered by JoyDuo
One of them is that the use of this hub does not reduce the possibility of recharging by using a USB Type-C port. This is because JoyDuo is compatible with Power Delivery , so this interface can be used to refill the battery with a power of 100 W, which is an excellent brand.
In what has to do with the transfer of data, the options offered by this accessory allows work with a speed of 40 Gb / s , which clearly exceeds USB 3.0.
Additionally, it should be known that the speed of the RJ-45 network socket is 1,000 Mbps , so the speed is excellent as a solution when wireless networks are not stable for work or play. And all this, with full compatibility both when connecting to MacBook Pro and when using accessories such as mice or external disks.
