The Real Cost of a Poorly Managed IT Office Move

For £138.41 ex‑VAT, this StarTech 240W 4‑port USB‑C charger feels like a sensible “boardroom solution” rather than a desk toy. The biggest practical win is the mix of power and control: you can run multiple high‑draw devices from one unit without everyone hovering for a socket, and the EPR-capable single port is there for the laptops/tablets that actually need the extra headroom. The screw‑locking ports and mounting bracket also tell me it’s aimed at environments where gear gets plugged and unplugged frequently—meeting rooms, shared offices, training suites—where loose cables and “where does this cable go?” chaos are the norm.
Who should buy it: anyone reselling or equipping managed workplaces that want a fixed, professional charging point for a small fleet of laptops (and/or a couple of “bigger” devices) with less faff than docks. It’s also a good fit if you’ve got Surface‑type setups and want a cleaner install. Who should not: if your users only charge phones and light laptops, this is likely overkill and money better spent on a simpler multiport charger. And if you expect it to behave like a full docking replacement for everything under the sun, don’t—this is about charging reliability and distribution, not workspace connectivity.
