Hey AndyLou - great vid. You should probably add to the title “Intel Chip” after the 2020. This adapter does not work on 2020 M1 Chip Mac Book Pro’s - only the Intel Chip models. Lot's of issues with Dual Monitors for MBPro 13" - M1 chip 2020. If you want “Dual Monitor” capability and compatibility for the M1 2020 MBPro 13” - you need a dock that supports Display Link Technology and you’ll have to download the Display Link Software/Driver along with it. I’m sure if enough owners of the M1 MBPro 13” complain and provide Apple with feedback to provide firmware / software update - down the road it may get supported.
Great video, Andy. I appreciate producers like you dealing with these issues and trying out different products. Were you running the new M1 Mac Book Pro? And if so, did you have to use any display port software to get dual screens to appear?
@@_andy_lou, the challenge for dual monitors is with the M1 MBPros. Your review was still very informative. To run dual monitors on the new M1 Macs you need to run Display Port software.
How is the falwedi hub do when your MacBook go to sleep and you try to way it up with an external keyboard or mouse without opening the lid? Does the MacBook pro wake up and does the 2 external monitors also come back on?
@@_andy_lou One last question. Do you know of any other hubs or docking station out there that would works with 3 monitors or more? The reason I’m asking is I’m thinking of using 3 monitors with the laptop lid close.
Great Review. I'm currently looking for a Dock that can run 2 HDMIs for my Macbook pro 16" 2019, but also be swappable to connect to my Windows PC to allow me to swap peripherals quickly. Having trouble finding anything that might work. Seems like a lot of Docks with 2 HDMIs just do Mirrored displays (for Mac) rather than extended.
@@_andy_lou What I'm thinking is going with the Falwedi Dock you reviewed + a USB A 3.0 dongle for the swap peripherals. So I can have monitors on the dock + wireless Kb/M, then the additional peripheral a Cintiq which requires HDMI+USB on the dongle so I can swap those as needed. May or may not work I'm unsure.
I was not expecting this haha, I also have high hopes for the Totu...just got it off Amazon for less than the Falwedi. I'll see what happens, at least I know with what dock to go with if I have to return it. I just like the premium/compact look of the Totu
I can't get my monitors to work at all only when I plug direct into my laptop working with windows 11
Which hub/dock are you using?
My MacBook Pro won’t recognize the totu dock Any tips?

You can use the Falwedi with the M1 MacBooks but you are still limited to only one external monitor
Totu has the same Falwedi hub which is no doubt made by the same manufacture just rebranded.
How is the falwedi hub do when your MacBook go to sleep and you try to way it up with an external keyboard or mouse without opening the lid? Does the MacBook pro wake up and does the 2 external monitors also come back on?
@@_andy_lou thanks for clearing up my question. i definitely look into getting the falwedi hub then when i get my macbook pro.

Well done young man, thank you very much, saved me from wasting time..
@@_andy_lou Thanks, actually was thinking to use it for pc with 3 monitors..

So to be clear the docking station with VGA won lol
If I sow the video before. I wouldn't buy TOTU docking station it was bad experience for me. Don't buy it!! It is waste of money..
