## Description

desertcart.com: Plugable USB C Power Meter Tester for Monitoring USB-C Connections - Digital Multimeter for USB Type C Cables, Laptops, Phones, Chargers - Driverless : Tools & Home Improvement

Review: Works as advertised, latest model has correct display - This updated review is for the second unit sent to me in response to comments about the usability of the item posted in my original review below. The revised edition of this USB-C V/A meter has three notable and visible improvements. (See second and third attached photos, and fourth photo) 1. Display orientation has been reversed, such that the digits read upright when installed on the left side of a laptop. 2. the digits display has been changed to a different font that is a bit smaller but more easily legible. 3. The OLD model had a display that alternated between the V/A and a line indicating power flow. The NEW model has V/A and an arrow all on the same screen, thus no more irritating flipping back and forth between two states. Aside from those three things, which are fairly significant, all else seems to function normally and as expected. This is quite a nice little unit. As some others have remarked, having total mAh transferred would be nice. Further comments on the construction and design. 1. The construction is solid. The shell is an aluminum extrusion. Endplates are hard plastic. 2. Plug and socket are snug and wiggle free. 3. The USB-C plug is offset, closer to the top surface of the device (display side). ************ Original Review Follows ************* Does what it says, nothing more, nothing less. I use this with a 2016 MBP 13" with TouchBar and it shows how much the system is drawing at idle, during typical surfing, writing, as well as maxed out during processor-intensive tasks like gaming. TAKE NOTE: The images of the power meter on the product page you see here are inverted from what the device actually displays. That is, in the images, it looks like the display is upright and readable when plugged into the LEFT side USB-C Thunderbolt ports of your laptop. These images are NOT ACCURATE as I found out in contacting Plugable. See my question above. The display actually is readable when plugged into the RIGHT side of the laptop. This is unfortunate for two reasons. First, on MacBooks and MBP, the ports are on the left or left+right sides. On the 13" MBP, the full-speed ports are on the left. This means users are inclined to make their single-cable connection on the left side. This means the Plugable meter display will be upside down. Second, if you install it on the right side ports, then it interferes with where most folks who are right handed (the majority of the population) keep and use their mouse. I don't know why Plugable flipped the display. It was better for more users as originally depicted in the product images. Unfortunately now I find myself not using it because of the display orientation. I will purchase the Satechi unit since the display is in the better orientation.
Review: A very useful tool to aid in fixing USB-C products - After seeing this used by repair folks on YouTube to monitor laptop operation, I purchased one when my laptop died. It was very helpful in aiding the diagnosis and will come in handy for other USB inquiries. It is well worth its nominal cost. I also like how the display reverses at the press of a button so it can be seen in either of 2 directions.
