Review on iVANKY MacBook Pro Docking Station, 9-in-2 USB C Hub Adapter with 4K Triple Display, 100W PD3.0, Ethernet, 2 HDMI, USB-C 3.0, 2 USB-A 3.0, SD & TF for MacBook Pro/Air by Ronnie Toups

Compact, light, efficient hub.

Nice little case. It has good build quality, feels solid (aluminum feels good) and does the job well overall. Personally I think I'll use it most when traveling - I have a bigger hub with more ports (and more power) that I use at home. It's good that it has 2 USB-A ports, but I really want it. It had another USB-C port for other USB-C devices, especially as more things are moving in that direction. The HDMI port is a nice addition. It could also be DisplayPort (as I understand it), but HDMI probably has a broader application. It has a good transfer rate for SD cards (see screenshot). My SD card can theoretically run at 150MB/s, but I think 80-90MB/s is pretty good (not sure if the bottleneck is the card or the hub). The specs say it can put out 100 watts, my laptop says it gets 92 watts (see screenshot). If I bypass the hub and plug my computer directly, it says it's getting 100 watts. It's still better than any of the small hubs I've tested, so I'll take it. Also, I don't usually use my laptop often when I'm away from home (if I can help it). Overall I would say this is a good centre, especially for the price. It only comes with a few minor caveats.
