The hub offers an 18-month warranty, and it even ships with a carrying pouch. Cord length is about 8.5 inches, above the standard 6-inch length.Īnker’s hub was among the fastest we tested to deliver data under load, including simultaneous data transfer between USB-A ports while the SD ports were active. Ethernet is excluded, however, so you’ll need to use Wi-Fi instead. (The charger allows up to 100W in, but supplies 85W.) An HDMI port allows for 4K/30Hz video or 1080p/60Hz video to a single external display, standard for the category. There’s also a 5Gbps USB-C connection for data, plus a second USB-C port for power input at up to 85W rated. Overall, Anker’s hub is well designed, with adequate spacing between the two 5Gbps USB-A ports. Anker’s hub was among the coolest we’ve tested under load, at about 87 degrees. It’s also a bit more expensive than its rivals.
Anker’s 7-in-1 USB-C hub feels surprisingly weighty (3.5 ounces), with a premium metallic (aluminum and polycarbonate) sheen. Nobody wanted it though.Can a USB-C hub feel elegant? This one does. Using an HD dock that was very similar to Microsoft’s new Display Dock, owners of the Atrix could turn their smartphone into a computer in much the same was as Microsoft is now peddling.
If all of this sounds familiar, it’s because Motorola tried this a few years ago with the Atrix. The Display Dock effectively turns a smartphone into a Windows 10 computer, complete with legacy input devices. And Microsoft wants to capitalize on that.Īnnounced alongside the Windows 10 Mobile-powered Lumia 950 and 950 XL smartphones today was the Display Dock, a handy device that allows users to take their smartphone and plug things like keyboards, mice and displays right into them. If you really want it to be, it can almost replace your computer. Do you remember when smartphones were just that, smartphones? In a world where display sizes are increasingly encroaching on tablets and mobile CPUs are outperforming those in notebook computers, the smartphone is no longer just a smartphone.
