[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I wish I had a greater need for the ports on this device because it is otherwise an overpriced SD card reader + USB-A hub. My laptop does not have a USB-C Power Delivery port; we don't us Ethernet; and our devices already have HDMI out so most of the ports on this hub aren't helpful. But it is solidly made and the connectors are sturdy and I would be very happy with it I needed its many capabilities.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is an excellent option for someone looking for a docking station that can easily be slipped into a laptop bag. It's small sturdy and versatile allowing me to utilize usb-C power as well as plugging in a monitor and charging usb-A devices. I was even able to pull out some old SD cards to use this docking station to transfer old photos over to my computer. Very happy with this device it's simplified my setup!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Staples 8-Port Multi Use Power Hub is a nice functional device. The quality seems to be good and the aluminum body gives it a modern look. I like having the ability to connect 8 devices in a small hub. It's great for traveling! I found the ports to be well thought out to meet today's demands. In my home office I was able to connect dual monitors while charging my notebook and the hub barely got warm. Overall this is a great hub!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This docking station is sleek and easy to use without taking up a ton of space on my desk. I love that I can plug in upto 8 different items at a time and the number of items plugged in does not affect charging time. This is perfect for all of my devices on my work from home setup. I highly recommend.

Great Docking Station

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Staples USB-C docking station is a solid choice for anyone looking to expand the connectivity options of their laptop without compromising on portability or build quality. As a user who regularly juggles multiple devices I was immediately impressed by the diversity of connectors it offers. It features multiple USB-A ports multiple HDMI outputs for external displays Ethernet for stable wired connections and 2 SD card slots. —all conveniently located for easy access. This broad range of ports makes it incredibly versatile allowing you to connect everything from printers and external hard drives to monitors and audio equipment all with one device. The docking station requires no complicated software or drivers; you simply plug it in via the USB-C port and you're ready to go. This plug-and-play functionality makes it perfect for people who need a hassle-free solution to docking their laptop. It's especially handy when moving between home and office setups as it quickly converts your laptop into a full workstation without the need to reconnect a multitude of cables each time. Portability is also a key feature here. The compact lightweight design of the docking station makes it easy to carry in a laptop bag or backpack. It’s unobtrusive but robust meaning you can take it with you on the go and not worry about it taking up too much space or getting damaged during travel. The build quality stands out as well. The metal casing feels premium and durable and there’s a reassuring heft to the device that suggests it’s built to last. All the connectors are firm and well-constructed ensuring a stable and secure connection with no loose or wobbly ports which I’ve experienced with cheaper alternatives. However one downside to mention is that this docking station does not support pass-through charging. While it handles data and video output just fine it won’t charge your laptop while connected. This could be a deal-breaker for those looking for a one-cable solution to both power and connectivity as you’d need to plug in your charger separately. Overall this is a great docking station that checks all the boxes for what I need it to do.

Useful portable docking station

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was so excited to get this docking station because it was exactly what I had been looking for - a compact portable way to add more ports to my Mac laptop. I love that I can plug this in to my laptop port and then connect many other devices to it. It's especially useful to me to have two regular USB ports so I can charge my keyboard mouse etc. And the HDMI port is great - I work from home but when I go into the office with my laptop this lets me plug into a monitor there really easily. Basically this has really opened up the ways I'm able to use my laptop in various settings especially away from home and it's so compact that it's easy to travel with. The one thing I wish were a little different is the length of the cord - it's pretty short so when I have my laptop on a stand it makes it hard for the docking station to sit flat on my desk. Not a deal breaker but it's something I noticed.

Great and useful docking station

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We were excited to get this docking station! We have a lot of devices in the house and this was a useful way to connect them. First off the docking station itself has a very premium feel since it has a metal feel. It is not plastic so it feels more durable and like it will resist scratches that make things look old and worn. I also like that it’s very slim and small and not bulky! We never connected 8 devices to this station but the flexibility and option to do so is such a plus since there are a lot of devices in our house. The charging time was fast and helped when the battery was running low. We used this in our Honda odyssey to watch movies and connect to streaming apps. It made everything simple and was not cumbersome in the car. This product has been super useful in our house and we love using it!
