Experience and use | 12in1 USB-C hub
The 2 HDMI ports are really useful. If you work from home and generally need or own several monitors, you can use additional monitors here HDMI connect. If you still have an old monitor like me and want to outsource a few displays, you can do this with the VGA port do. Great possibility to operate multi-monitoring with the 12in1 USB-C hub. The hub is easy to transport because it doesn't take up much space. Always with you when you travel. During use and depending on the connected devices, I could not perceive any real overheating or getting too hot. I was able to use the 12in1 USB-C hub with my Lenovo notebook.
An wireless keyboard or Mouse connect with the 12in1 USB-C hub easily to the notebook. Charging multiple devices such as smartphones, tablets, Bluetooth Headset or bluetooth music boxes are no problem. When I use my smartphone Huawei P30 Pro connected to the connection cable from the 12in1 USB-C hub, I was able to operate the smartphone with the mouse cursor with the mouse connected to it (click and scroll) write with a keyboard is the same. A cool alternative for better writing and handling in some online applications on the go without a notebook and monitor.
Keyboard + mouse + smartphone + HUB and you can work like on a PC or notebook. Think with a tablet, it should work the same way.
