Hey guys, correction on the dbrand price (at 00:45 mark). It's in US dollars and I made a mistake that I said it's in Canadian. Sorry about that. Just fyi.

[@matanissler]

The usb type c hubs that attach to the macbook chassis seem very convenient, but they eventually destroy the usb type c ports of your MacBook because of the pressures they absorb, therefore I recommend buying a hub with a short cable that separates the MacBook and the hub.

[@BernieHipos]

@Matan Issler, I’ve been using it for weeks now and never had problems. You just have to be careful when you put it back on as well as when you remove it. So far so good in my case. I will update this comment if ever I will experience that in the future. But right now, it’s safe to say that it works. Thanks for watching and commenting! 🙏🏽

[@Grug9]

I thought this comment said it will kill the MacBook, phew.

[@BernieHipos]

@Vid, don’t worry it won’t. Hehe… The hub that I have in this video still works fine and I still use it up to this day. You can also use a hub with a cable if that’s what you prefer, both will work just fine not unless there’s really a problem with both hubs.

[@MarqNash]

That rebrand skin is not the move, it's just a sticker (in my opinion) and offers no protection especially for the corners..I prefer a snap on hard cast to protect my device. But cheers to you for doing this vid

[@BernieHipos]

@Marq Nash, yes I totally get what you're saying and it's not for everyone. I really like the look of it and it protects my Mac mainly for scratches, either the top or bottom. The main protection that I use is the Tomtoc sleeve which is really great in my opinion. I appreciate your comment and thank you for watching! 🙏🏽

[@urmumgey1119]

Best option is get a wrap to customise it and make it yours and put a clear plastic hard cover over the top :)

[@BernieHipos]

@@urmumgey1119 That’s a good idea! But this will do for now since I also have the Helm case installed alongside the dbrand skin. 😀

[@yominrak7975]

err sticking a skin on the trackpad does not affect the precision and sensitivity? you have no issue doing the gestures, clicking and pointing?

[@BernieHipos]

@Yomin Rak, thank you for your question! Yes it does affect the gestures and most of the time it zooms in and out with just a slight move so I removed the trackpad skin and no longer use it. I just have the top and bottom still installed up to this day and works great. Although after removing the trackpad skin, it’s still does it from time to time so I’m guessing it’s the trackpad’s issue itself and that it’s really sensitive with or without the skin. I hope I answered your question. I appreciate you checking out the video! 🙏🏽 Cheers!

[@GuyCruls]

so this vlog was not recorded using the Fifine K678 microphone? if not, how is one to be convinced?

[@BernieHipos]

@Guy Cruls, hahaha… 😂 There’s a specific use for a USB microphone and besides can’t use it if I’m trying to show it at the same time right? That means I have to change microphones afterwards. 😂 Not every tool fits all jobs. There are different uses for each one. And also my home studio isn’t treated yet so it’ll introduce a lot of echo. This mic has to be closer to my mouth to get the best audio possible. That’s why a lavalier mic is perfect in this situation most especially if you’re demoing certain products. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching and commenting! 🙏🏽 Cheers!

[@derwynhinton759]

Hey dude, can u tell me what connector, & cord I need to hook my MacBook Air to my tv by cable. I have a Toshiba tv? Thx, Dwhyz1

[@BernieHipos]

@Derwyn Hinton You can use the same hub that's on the video. It has an HDMI output and you'll need an HDMI cable to plug in from your Toshiba TV to the MacBook Air or if you don't have the same hub that's on the video, you can get this instead: www.amazon.com/Anker-Aluminum-Pixelbook-Compatible-Thunderbolt/dp/B07THJGZ9Z/ref=sr_1_3?crid=R7E1JGRXQRBY&keywords=usb+c+to+hdmi&qid=1655582443&sprefix=usb+c+to+hdmi%2Caps%2C98&sr=8-3 It's a USB-C cable to HDMI adapter that you'll plug in to your MacBook Air since it doesn't have an HDMI port. Hope this helps. I appreciate your question and thank you for watching the video! 🙏🏽 Cheers!

[@hmm9823]

Should i use a screen protector and case for the macbook air m1 or not ?

[@BernieHipos]

@Bharath Gowda, you don’t have to. Mine doesn’t have one and the screen is solid and still works up to this day. No problems at all! 👌🏾 As for the case, I use the Helm from Andar and it fits well even with the dbrand skin installed.

Do you find the trackpad still responsive with the sticker? Do trackpads suffer from scratches? Thank you

[@BernieHipos]

@Blaize Pascall, I removed the trackpad skin and no longer use it. The trackpad is actually too sensitive even with the skin on so I removed it and I thought it was because of it, but apparently that isn’t the case since it’s still sensitive even without it. Also, the trackpad doesn’t get scratched at all as per my day to day use. I hope I answered your question and I appreciate you watching the video! 🙏🏾

I've always been a bit wary of these "stick-on" hubs because of the danger that I'm damaging both my ports when I bump it into something.

[@BernieHipos]

@Bom Cabedal, I appreciate you checking out the video! You actually have a point and that's a great worry to have, but so far in my experience and most of the time it's plugged-in to my USB-C ports, I never had any problems at all. And once I have everything attached like a hard drive as well as an SD card, I just don't move my Mac too much haha... But yeah, really it's a non-issue for me and I had the hub for more than a year now and still works great as well as the USB-C ports on my Mac. Thank you for sharing your thoughts by the way! 🙏🏽 Cheers!

[@omarjairchavezmancisidor1671]

Hi, do you really recommend buying the skin? does it protect against scratches?

[@anvardheenj6213]

Some type C usb hub has single ports .. can we use single type C port hub for multi operations?

[@BernieHipos]

@Anvardheen J, I'd say you don't need a hub at all if it's a single USB-C port since the M1 MacBook Air has 2 already. And you can definitely use it for different purposes like plugging in your hard drive as well as for charging. Also, a USB-C hub is only useful in my opinion if it has multiple ports. I hope I answered your question. Thank you for watching the video! 🙏🏽

Is the laptop skin recommended for the new macbook air M1's? I have been reading reviews where it is mentioned that skins or hard cases are not recommended

[@BernieHipos]

@Saurav Banerjee, thank you for your question! In my case the skins work perfectly fine and had no issues when installed. Both front and back of my M1 MacBook Air are protected from scratches and aesthetically they look good in my opinion. However, if you want full protection, a hard case is good to have as well. I’ve my skins installed, as well as use a case on top of the skins without any issues at all and still fits perfectly and will protect from bumps as well. I appreciate you watching the video and for your comment! 🙏🏾

[@gabriellemariedayanmoquial1679]

Hello po! Why did you prefer putting on a skin rather than a case? Just want to know the pros and cons.

[@BernieHipos]

@Gabrielle Marie Dayan Moquiala, good question! 1st is to protect the mac from scratches (only what's covered though). 2nd, I really like the look of the dbrand and the feel while holding the mac, really looks classy and premium. 3rd, is that it's so thin and you can actually put a case on top of the dbrand skin, like what I have right now which is the Helm case. I interchange them once in a while depending on where I go. So far both work great! Thanks for watching and for your comment! 🙏🏽Cheers!

Hi there, would the ZMUIPNG USB-C hub fit if the Apple Mac air has a hard shell case? Thank u

[@BernieHipos]

@ShowNoMercy, it won't fit if the top and bottom of the case are both in place so I always remove the bottom part whenever I use it. I have the Helm case and I would say that it's the same size as most of the hard shell cases out there. Thanks for watching and commenting! 🙏🏽 Cheers!

@W Claire Kakei, yes the M1 MacBook Air has a 3.5mm port and your cable should work if it worked before and you might want to get a 3.5mm male to male cable like this one amzn.to/3peBL0A to connect your Logitech soundbox to the Mac.

I always like viewing “Accessories” video, as ya never know when you might find something useful. In this case although I like the LOOK of the skins, I personally don't like “sticking” things to my Mac laptops, prefer cases. However, the "ZMUIPNG USB-C Hub" I find very interesting for many reasons, and after looking at the Amazon reviews, it could be something I may pick up as the hub I used with the MacBoook Pro I'm trading in for a M1 16gb MacBook Air might be a better fit as I see the hub can charge the laptop plus much else. Like I said, in these type of videos, one might find a GEM. Thanks

The case works well too like what I have in the video and I still use it after 6 months since I like it a lot. As for the USB-C hub, it works well for me and never had a problem with it or whatsoever. I remember there were issues with third party hubs but those were solved with a software update but I haven't experienced it that's why I can't recommend the hub enough since it works really great. One of my favorite accessories for my MacBook Air thus far! Thank you for watching the video and for your comment and I'm so glad that you were able to find at least a USB-C hub in the video! 🙏🏽 Cheers!

[@nowitsokgaming5130]

@@BernieHipos well, Bernie Hipos, been thinking. Might HAVE to go the skin route after all, if I decide to go with that HUB. With that type of hub that plugs into both ports CASES generally prevent the hub from 'seating/connecting' correctly. I've seen videos of people with corded hubs with VGA sockets. WAIT VGA in 2021, that's nuts. So I've saved the skin's URL also and will have a look. Thanks again.

[@BernieHipos]

@@nowitsokgaming5130, no worries! The skin works well with the hub. I have the skin as well as the Helm laptop case and I use both all the time (I know maybe overkill, but I like that case since it protects the sides from accidental bumps very well) but the bottom part of the helm case is in the way so there's no way to plug the hub if it's installed. I just remove the bottom part to accommodate the hub whenever I want to use it and it works well all the time.

[@nowitsokgaming5130]

@@BernieHipos I wonder if a talented person could "cut away" a part of the case so that the hub would work?

[@BernieHipos]

This bottom cover will reduce you laptop lifespan. Heat dissipation is reduced by adding additional isolation.

[@BernieHipos]

@Rafal Korzynski, so far so good on my part. I haven't experienced any heat issues at all even when doing heavy 4K video editing. The bottom skin doesn't block the exhaust. I appreciate your concern. Thanks for watching and commenting! 🙏🏽 Cheers!

[@shuvamroy999]

Does it affect macbooks body ( colour coming out/ or get sticky ) after peeling off?

[@BernieHipos]

@Shuvam Roy, I haven’t peeled it off the top or the bottom. The only skin that I peeled off was from the trackpad because it’s messing it up whenever I use it and it didn’t change the color and didn’t get sticky at all. Thanks for watching and commenting! 🙏🏽 Cheers!

im planning to buy a usb hub, but most i've watched on yt that they are having a problem after using. the black screen and they cannot open the unit anymore so they tend to return and change for a new one, unfortunately they can't save files anymore.

[@BernieHipos]

@khry ville, in my experience the USB C hub that I'm using right now (the one in the video) works great and I'm happy with it. Also, I like that it doesn't have a cable and it's so easy to use, just plug and play. I highly recommend it! 👍🏽😀👌🏽

@@chris171974 Wow, I really appreciate your comment! 🙏🏽 Thanks so much!!! Yes, I charge my M1 MacBook Air using the hub and it works great, I've never experienced anything bad so far.

I know how frustrating it is if your gear or any equipment doesn't work.

Can I put a case on top of the dbrand skin? Like one of those Misiso cases from amazon on it?

[@BernieHipos]

@Cizling, I don't know about the Misiso case since I haven't used one but I did an unboxing and review of the Helm case from Andar and it fits well even with the dbrand skin installed. You can check the video at this link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/anPZZ4SBqNWroLs I'd say it will fit other cases of the same size as well. Thanks for watching and commenting! 🙏🏽

[@ChaseFrances]

I've seen a lot of things about those usb hubs bricking peoples' macbooks which is pretty scary, so I haven't bought one yet. I've only had my macbook for a few days but I'm still watching every video I can find on them, and I think after doing some research I'm just going to get some separate USB A/HDMI to USB C adapters, since that's all I really need to use with my computer and I feel like there's less risk there than using a whole usb hub. Apparently people mainly had the problem of their macbooks bricking when they used the pass through charging features that some hubs have, so when the macbook is trying to take in power through the hub to charge while also putting out power to a USB drive or something else through the hub, it seems to confuse the macbook or something. either way it's not something I'm ok with risking lol still tho, really good video dude! Idk why you don't have more subscribers, but you have one more now :)

[@BernieHipos]

@Chase Frances, awesome Chase! I appreciate your comment and I hear you that you just want to be cautious and that's great really. In my experience though, the USB hub that I use works perfectly fine with my 2020 M1 MacBook Air and no issues at all from day 1. But yes, a separate USB A to USB C adapter will work just fine too. As for the USB hub (same one I use), as far as I know, once you have the latest firmware installed on your Mac, you should be good. But I really understand where you are coming from. I thank you for your comment and for subscribing as well! Means a lot! Also, thanks for checking out the video! Enjoy your MacBook Air! Cheers!

[@BernieHipos]

Hi @vhic soriano, it depends on how you’ll use your MacBook Air. Sa akin kase I have both and if I want to fully protect my Mac from bumps and if I’m outside I usually have the case on. The skin only protects what’s covered and not the sides. I highly recommend for better and full protection, it’s better with a case talaga. But it would still be up to you and sometimes if I don’t have the case on I just put it inside my Tomtoc laptop sleeve and it works fine naman. Hope I answered your question.
