Ugreen 9 In 1 USB-C Docking Station
What is it?
A docking station to power and extend the capabilities of your laptop.
Good points?
The impressive power input of 100W ensures that your laptop and other connected devices not only stay charged but can also charge rapidly. This eliminates the hassle of continually searching for multiple cables as you can simply leave them connected to the dock.
With a data transfer speed of 10 Gbps, this docking station ensures swift and seamless file transfers. Additionally, its two 4K@60Hz HDMI ports deliver stunning visuals and support high-resolution displays.
Four USB ports and two HDMI ports, along with other hardware interfaces including USB Type-C and Ethernet provide you with a myriad of connection options.
Furthermore, the Ugreen docking station is compatible with a range of devices, including monitors, laptops, and MacBooks. Its ability to support multiple displays enhances your multitasking capabilities.
The passthrough charge feature ensures that your devices remain powered up, even during heavy usage, eliminating concerns about battery drain.
The upgraded cooling system helps maintain optimal operating temperatures, preventing overheating and ensuring the dock's durability over time.
Bad points?
The device is not just plug-and-play as there is a software driver that needs downloaded and installed before you get access to all its capabilities. This requirement is not very clear unless you meticulously read the manual.
Best for ...
Those with a slim modern USB-C device that has minimal ports and who want additional options when working from home.
Avoid if ...
You are looking for a hub with an SD card reader as you won’t find one here.
Score: 8/10.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
