The unboxing is also so easy and it is a pleasure to unox this. It is so easy and makes you feel good. I have an unboxing video of this in my channel. I was so happy to do this. Have check in the link.
Design
The design is so good that it will meet all your requirements I am sure about it. The first thing will be it is easy portable and it can fit in your carry case, bag, etc so easily. The round shape consumes less space it it can be used like docking station. So it occupies less space on your desk or luggage. This impressed me a lot.
The Cable Management is so good, the USB – C cable can be winded to this bottom so easily. Tt has got a specific design which hold the cable well. So no more cables running here and there, all Intact.
Features
Now let us look into individual features of this.
Wireless charging
Wireless charging is one of the great feature in this, it can fast charge at 7.5 / 10 Watts. This is a great feature. So it is just place your compatible phone on the top surface of it. All good. The top space is more and the phone sits on top of it like a charm. So no need to place it in right position, no alignment required. It looks so cool. Value for the money you pay, so there is no need to buy any separate wireless charger for your phones.
USB C
USB C is one of the most wanted connector now a days as it is used in many electronic devices. From Apple to all others now all are on USB C. It supports UBC-C PD 100 W delivery. So you can use it to charge your macbook pro and other devices when connected to a external USB C Power source.
USB 3.0
It supports 3 x USB 3.0 5 Gbps ports placed in the right locations. So there is no disturbance while plugging in all the 3 ports. It delivers the speed of 5 Gbps which is very good. so there is no need of any convertor for USB-c to USB 3.0. Now this is also covered.
SD Card Reader
Everyone will agree this is an important port that we missed in the modern devices. It is integral part of most of the phones and cameras. So with this the port is back and no need to run cables or look for another convertor. It works like a charm and very useful in making your memories come back from the SD card. it supports up to 480 Mbps which is fair enough.
MicroSD 2.0
It has MicroSD 2.0 port again it avoids one more convertor. So there is no need to convert MicroSD to SD and then read it on the device. So great and useful. This is one of the old one but still having this adds value. It also support 480 Mbps. So the real deal is there.
HDMI 4K @ 30 Hz
HDMI 4K support is the beautiful feature in this. It helps to connect to any external display that has HDMI Port. 4K Support adds more value to the display. So when used for Macbook pro models you will find it very useful and you will be amazed by the display output. This is one of the feature I missed with my Macbook Pro model when I got them in 2018.
VGA Full HD
This is an olden age port but still used in some places and monitors. So this will help you for backward compatablity. Do not throw away your monitors that do not have HDMI or Display ports. Still you can use them without any hassle. Because of Goobay USB C hub. The beauty here is it also supports Full HD. So you can connect to the projectors if you are doing some presentation. No need to search for convertors during your business meetings.
RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet
The next beautiful port that got lost in our sleek designs from Apple and other vendors is the RJ45 port. Now the world is full of Wifi but there are still requirements for this port. So that you can use the full potential of the internet bandwidth and to connect the computers on LAN. You know Wifi cannot deliver the full potential of your bandwidth. Because we lost the port we almost forgot about it. Now there is no need to worry. It is covered in this device which is a great thing. I love this option and use it for wired connections when I need more bandwidth.
Audio 3.5 mm
This is one of the mandatory ports that was there in all the multimedia and computer devices. Now it slowly started to disappear due to bluetooth and wireless technologies. So we almost forgot about this and all our old 3.5 mm audio devices are kept to get dust. Now with this you can un dust them and use it again and have the pleasure of enjoying the music on your old, much loved head phones.
My likes
This is one of the best USB C hub I used and it has got all the required ports, valuable features. It also helps to use my old devices and read SD cards without any hassle. Now there is no need of an extra USB 3.0 Hub, USB C to USC 3.0 convertor. So all my extra cables and convertors are removed. So now the cable management is so simple and able to connect all my devices in one place without any issues. I love the design and the portability. The Goobay USB C hub costs around 100$ which can be also cheaper. There are so many deals I could see. Worth a try and value for money. You will love this. With the new MacBook pro‘s also it will be more helpful.
