D-Link 5-in-1 USB-C Hub with HDMI and SD/microSD Card Reader

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

For £23.50 ex-VAT, this is exactly the kind of “get-it-working” USB‑C hub I’d recommend to most office users who just need reliable extra ports without thinking too hard. HDMI output and the SD/microSD readers are a practical combo for consultants, trainers, and anyone who regularly presents from a laptop while also moving files from cameras/phones. In day-to-day terms, it’s the sort of thing that saves you from swapping leads and borrowing adapters, and that alone is good value at this price.

That said, I wouldn’t buy it as a “serious desk dock” for heavy multitasking. Budget hubs sometimes show their limits with demanding displays and lots of peripherals at once—think occasional flicker, finicky HDMI handshake, or slower card reads when you’re moving big batches of media. If you’re plugging in external monitors plus USB devices and expecting it to be flawless 8 hours a day, spend a bit more on a better-quality dock. But if your needs are straightforward—HDMI for occasional screen sharing and card reading for file transfers—this D-Link is a sensible, cost-effective choice.
