Just book mba base model today

Will it be possible to connect more than 2 displays, someone knows?

my macbook air just got bricked yesterday,

connect to my usb-c hub with hdmi cable on it, leave it to sleep and charge, next morning dead

the laptop wont turn on and there is a ticking like noise when i press the power button

looks like the issue is related to usb-c port with PD (power delivery),

so pls get a proper usb-c hub and certified apple thunderbolt devices.

Other than that i love everything about it, doing work, compile some huge code works so much faster than my own desktop

Mind share out what brand and model hub u using?

its a generic one, works fine on my other gaming laptop,

most probably the issue is the same as nintendo switch usb-c implementation where the usb-c standards are not followed or low quality material used in the making of any kind of hub or adapter

I missed Dashboard...

Sorry for getting a lil bit confused. But what you meant was, the charger is connected to the PD port of the ALX Hub alongside with HDMI and then it got bricked? Thats terrifying

Oh dear... I was just reminding ppl in the macbook pro thread about this and it happened to you...

But then what is a proper USB C hub... Even PD charging via a LG Monitor also bricked the macbook according to reddit

Oh yes, i read ur post in MBP thread. I think this have to be connected to Big Sur bug.

Oh dear.. But i heard that apple kinda acknowledged this issue already

Hi, is this normal? Just on battery for 38min and power drop to 93%, with 5 hours more to go.

Just doing normal web browsing, but plugged in USB-C hub with HDD.

yup, if you need to connect to a monitor via usb-c then better get a proper one from apple for now

I've bought a non PD dongle from Ugreen and a USB 3.0 to USB C adaptor...

Thanks for bringing up the issue with PD charging on the M1 guys.

I'm a bit bummed 'cos I already purchased all my adapters with PD charging - but it's ok. I can live with it. I've taped up all the USB-C ports on the adapters just to be safe.

Noted on that. However, if I'm planning to only use the usb-c on the hub to connect ssd, will that also might brick the macbook? Or is it just PD charging related.

Same same. Don't want to take any risk. But maybe can still use the USB-C ports for peripherals?

the risk is more on the PD charging issue...

i wont bet my luck on that

most likely the issue i see so far on the net is related to PD

Ive read, even Anker USB C hub with PD can brick your macbook.

Just dont use PD charging.

So, can use warranty?
