The right product for me, the price suited me.

In general, the device is not bad for its money. But mostly for stationary use due to battery exhaustion.
I use it with a MacBook Air, which can easily work without charging for a whole working day, and you can not take a charge to the office. But in the case of connecting an external monitor through this hub without charging, there is no way - the battery hides in 4 hours (instead of 12-15 usual). You have to carry a charger with you. Now I'm looking for an adapter without such a problem.

Pros

1. Availability of ports. There is everything you need. 2. Quite reasonable price. 3. The presence of a PD port allows you to connect both charging and peripherals through it - only one wire is suitable for a laptop.

Cons

1. It emits a thin squeak during operation (it doesn’t matter if it is connected to a computer or not, if the charger is connected). With a MacBook without a fan (silent), this is annoying. 2. Sucks out laptop battery power. Very much. And it doesn't matter if something is connected to the dub or not. It is enough just to connect it without anything and the charge melts before our eyes. Because of this, there is a problem that it is impossible to use it without charging. 3. It heats up, but it does not interfere in any way, although, apparently, it is from this that it drains the battery. 4. Inconvenient location of the charging port in relation to other ports. It is located on the opposite side from the main ones and it turns out that when placed on a table, space is required on both sides of the hub, which is very inconvenient.
