Review on πŸ”Œ Tiergrade USB C Hub: 12 in 1 Triple Display Docking Station for MacBook & Windows by Adam Boesel

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Works great but heats up when plugged into AC adapter to charge laptop.

I've been using it for about 7 months for both work and personal use. As far as I know nothing is broken. Pros: It's great for connecting my 2 monitors via HDMI, mouse keyboard via USB-A, micro USB keyboard and mouse charging cable, and charging my Dell work laptop. The hub only works when connected to a laptop. Does not require a power adapter for its own power supply. The socket is small. The body and paint are durable. The case is very light. Cons: Gets hot when I connect my laptop charger's USB-C cable to the hub to charge my work laptop through the hub. It cools down relatively quickly. The maximum power transmitted to the laptop is 65 watts. As such, it won't charge laptops that require higher charging power (like the 2019 Dell XPS15). USB-A ports seem weak or don't support fast charging. The data transfer rate of the microSD card is very slow for transferring pictures and videos. The USB-C cable to connect to the laptop is short (about 5 inches).
