Anker products are still a step ahead of their foreign competitors Revain

Now it's not a laptop, mesh network or anything too complicated. But the reason Anker's slight premium over similar products here is worth it, in my opinion, is the attention to detail - both in the device's function and aesthetics. Have a few Anker items from boost packs to BT headphones, chargers and cables. and still use them years later. You don't normally expect that from a manufacturer with no name. Giving the benefit of the doubt (and lots of money) to the nameless who don't deserve it. Anker is someone who has consistently produced good, solid kits. This hub is z. B. a little warm, slightly above body temperature - nothing like my unnamed USB-C to MagSafe charging adapter, which gets almost too hot to carry around. Such manufacturers base their technology on the all-too-common standard that lures buyers with low prices: nickels and pennies become barely functioning time bombs. Other Anker IME products seem to resist this temptation and charge a bit more for decent development, which of course is preferable. when plugged in, and the USB connector fits perfectly into my Mac's 4 standard ports. The cable feels solid, with a bit of spring in it, but it also flexes a little so it feels like it's going to stand up to daily flexing and straightening for a long time. I can't even get it in Apple technology right now. : / bonus accessories, included in the anchor kit. Nothing extravagant. But for example this hub comes with a nice faux suede case with a small extra sewn on pocket on the outside to hide and protect the cable and plug. If you put the cable into the main body along with the device, the connector may scratch it. A very simple gesture, but a thoughtful design that people will actually use. Now I refrain from raising the prices of major brands of anchors when I can, as lowering seems to be the norm when the major manufacturer gets lazy and wants to rest on its laurels. As long as Anker continues to make products like this center, I will continue to buy. Interconnects. If you put the cable in the main body together with the device, the plug can scratch it.
