Gadgets

Welcome to The Gadget Professor Show #744 hosted by Don Baine.

About this item
【Who needs the 65W adapter version?】Because the other ports of THE DOCK will distribute some of the power away, so if you use the original 45W adapter, the host power will be reduced. So if you want to use all ports and still guarantee the original charging speed, it is recommended to use a higher power adapter.
【Enhanced Experience for Devices Up to 16inch】Supports USB-C devices ( iPad / Pro, Steam Deck, ROG Ally, Samsung, Portable monitor, Surface, etc.) It can be adjusted to any perfect angle, height, and orientation. 1）For sureface pro or portable monitor, you can put it on but it’s not stable enough. 2）For laptops, you can fold it down and use it as a docking station instead of a stand.
【Expand Your Connections】11-in-1 including 4.0 Reader for SD and TF, 4K@60Hz HDMI, Gigabit Ethernet, 3.5mm Audio, 2*USB-A2.0, 1*USB-A 3.0, USB-C 3.0 (also supports type-c headphones), USB-C Power Delivery (100W Max). Connect your monitor, projector, tv, audio, keyboard, mouse, hard disk, etc. to the device.
【High Speed SD/TF 4.0】We provide the latest SD/TF 4.0 interface, which can reach 300Mbps transfer speed. It’s about 3 times faster than SD3.0 (104mbps), allowing you to backup your camera SD card and transfer various files faster. This is rarely seen in hub. Also, please make sure your SD card itself supports high-speed transfer.
【Multifunctional Usage】You can use it as a tablet stand or as a USB-C docking station for tablets, game consoles and laptops, when it is folded up it can be easily put into a bag, desktop and portable multi-scenarios available, making you more comfortable than ever in multiple scenarios such as office, gaming, fitness, coffee breaks, and more, perfect for users who have both a tablet and a laptop and need a usb c hub.
【Intelligent E-Mark Cable 100W Max】The USB C cable with E-Mark chip intelligently supports devices by automatically adjusting the power supply, which is obviously a safer choice.The cable connects the hub to your device, in addition to the PD-IN on the Dock also supports 100W input, definitely not working only for tablets. Note: The full range of ports on the Dock consumes about 8W of power when working, please evaluate your adapter and device power when using it.

Compatible with Windows, Mac OS, XP, Chrome OS, iPad OS, Android, Unix, Linux, etc. Work with iPad / Pro, Steam Deck, ROG Ally, Legion Go, iPhone15, Samsung tablets, MacBook Air/Pro, Dell, HP, Lenovo, Surface, Huawei, Samsung, and other Type-C port devices (including Thunderbolt 3/4 laptops).
