" ... I searched Amazon and discovered that they make adapters for my mac book air that had no usb outlets just the plugs to charge it I knew that this was going to work out pretty well. ... "
" ... I plugged my power into the hub as well just to test it out and it did not overheat while I was charging it. ...

I probably won't be plugging my charging cable into the hub directly anymore for this reason. ... "
