D-Link 6-in-1 USB-C Hub with HDMI/Card Reader/Power Delivery

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

For £39.40 ex-VAT, this D‑Link 6‑in‑1 USB‑C hub is a sensible “grab-and-go” option if you mostly need the basics: HDMI for a second screen, a couple of USB ports for peripherals, and card reading without hauling a full dock. It’s the kind of accessory that actually gets used day-to-day—plug it in at your desk, it behaves like an extension of your laptop, and you’re not paying enterprise dock money for a feature set you’ll only use occasionally. If you’ve got a modern laptop with USB‑C and want reliability for common office tasks, it’s good value.

That said, don’t buy it if you’re expecting one-hub-to-run-everything performance. These portable hubs can be a bit hit-and-miss with “higher demand” setups (multiple displays, heavier USB devices, or finicky monitors), and cheap-ish HDMI/cable chains are where issues show up first—flicker, negotiation problems, or “it works until it doesn’t.” If you’re in a role with lots of A/V gear, spreadsheets plus external storage plus a projector all at once, I’d spend more on a more robust docking solution. But for typical office use—monitor, keyboard/mouse, and occasional media transfer—this is the kind of practical, low-risk buy that saves you faffing about with dongles.
