Review on TOTU Upgraded Universal Charging Extended by Curtis Donjuan

Revainrating 5 out of 5

works with two LG 27UK850-W 27 " 4K UHD IPS monitors

The 1st release version (not updated) didn't seem to be able to run both monitors at the same time (I couldn't figure it out after an hour of trial and error cable swapping), so I had to plug one of the monitors directly into my Yoga C3906 13IKB (USB C) and the other into my Totu, making it pointless to have a docking station (I now had two Cable to connect to my laptop This is an (updated) device that controls one monitor via HDMI and the other via DP cables, which is clearly communicated in the photos in the listing You can't seem to control both monitors with HDMI, and it seems that different laptops and monitors aren't always compatible with all docking stations, so I was happy to find a solution.For about a week I've had my external keyboard connected to the USB port It was powered by a connector on the back and then one day it stopped working so I'm now powering it from the USB port on the front of the Totu. So I mention this mu, this is a reminder that there is a mix of USB B3.0 and USB2.0 connectors and you need to check the specs to make sure what you are trying to connect will work with the matches what's available, and I also suspect the port is powered. The keyboard was overloaded and I haven't checked if it's powering anything at all. This Totu also charges my laptop so I only have one (USB-C) between my laptop and Totu and have multiple devices connected to Totu. Finally I left Totu without updates because I liked the stability. and functionality and I will be using it in my home office where I don't have a separate display but I have many other devices to connect to. The box itself appears to be cast aluminium, it is a very neat and clearly high quality kit. It sticks well to the countertop so it doesn't slip when you plug in/unplug.

Pros
  • New
Cons
  • poorly designed
