Let me start by saying this hub is a lifesaver for my minimalist MacBook Pro setup. The 6-in-1 design means I can finally connect all my peripherals without daisy-chaining adapters. That 100W PD input keeps my laptop charged while I'm working - though I did notice it gets warm (like a fresh cup of coffee warm) during heavy use.

The good stuff first: The HDMI 4K output works flawlessly for my external monitor. I've binge-watched shows in glorious resolution without a single flicker. The Ethernet port delivers stable speeds - perfect for video calls where WiFi might stutter. And those two USB-A ports? They've happily accepted everything from my ancient flash drive to an external SSD.

Now for the quirks: That USB-C data port can be picky. My wireless mouse dongle works fine, but my external hard drive sometimes plays hide-and-seek. Also, the short 15cm cable forces awkward positioning - I've knocked over my coffee twice reaching for it. Pro tip: Don't expect it to charge your laptop if you're maxing out all ports simultaneously.

Port spacing deserves special mention. While decent, I wish they'd sacrificed some slimness for more breathing room. Trying to plug in a bulky USB drive while an Ethernet cable's connected feels like playing Tetris with my cables.

Final verdict? It's a solid 7/10. Perfect for basic office work or light travel use, but power users might want something more robust. At this price point, it's a good 'starter hub' before investing in premium docks.
