£16.03 inc. VAT
AI-generated summary
For £13.38 ex‑VAT this is the kind of no-drama USB‑C to HDMI adapter you buy when you just need a reliable “plug it in and it works” connection for meetings, hotel hot desks, and everyday laptop docking. The presentation mode switch is genuinely useful in a corporate setting—when you’re presenting, you often want the output to behave predictably without faffing about with display settings. It’s a sensible pick for staff who don’t want admin-level tinkering and for anyone running PowerPoint-heavy sessions.
That said, I wouldn’t treat it as a “for everything forever” solution. Cheap adapters like this can be less forgiving if you’re driving complicated multi-display setups, higher-demand graphics workloads, or you frequently hot-swap between displays/projectors. Also, if you’re doing anything more sensitive (creative work, video production, or needing flawless frame-to-frame behaviour), you’ll be happier with a more premium docking solution. But for straightforward single-screen HDMI use on Windows and typical business projectors/TVs? This is good value and very hard to beat on price—just don’t expect it to replace a proper dock.
