Good USB-C hub for PC. Can handle more power than the included power adapter can supply.

This model was pushed by the seller's support department after I was unsatisfied with another model. This model is perfect for my needs when using it with a Dell Inspiron 7405. Although I haven't tried all the ports, I've been using the following for the past few days: 2 HDMI ports, 2 USB 2.0 ports for keyboard and mouse, GB Ethernet port for network (can fully utilize my 200MB internet connection) and a USB-C power port that connects to my own 100W power adapter to transfer power. I like its form factor, small size, and relatively low placement of the HDMI ports, which helps keep it from tipping over under the weight of my HDMI cables. The only design improvement I'd like to see is the placement of the card reader slots on the user-facing side rather than the wall-facing side. Please note that the description of power transfer to this hub's listing is confusing. It comes with a 65W power adapter but can output around 100W when using a 100W power adapter. My laptop swears at boot when connected to less than 65W USB-C power delivery. With some hubs, it complains despite being connected to my 100 watt power supply, because the hub itself limits the (charging) current let through to 60 watts or less. This hub should let through at least 65W because the laptop won't complain. I haven't tested the power adapter that came with this hub, but past experience tells me that its 65W wouldn't be enough to power both the hub and my computer. Notebook. I'll keep it for use as a laptop travel charger or something. This isn't a complaint as many competing hubs don't come with any type of power supply. I see it as a bonus and it's probably big enough to use with a hub for many other laptop models. I've tried several inexpensive USB-C hubs/docking stations. This is the best I've found for less than $200.
