At **£33.89 ex‑VAT**, the D-Link 5‑in‑1 USB‑C hub is the kind of “just works” add-on you buy for day-to-day office use when you don’t want to pay Docking-station money. For most UK business scenarios—plugging into a laptop for an HDMI monitor and using a couple of handy extra ports—it’s good value. The HDMI + power delivery combo is especially convenient: you can run the display and charge the laptop through the same hub, so fewer cables dangling under desks.
That said, I wouldn’t buy it if you rely on a lot of “fast” peripheral work or you need rock-solid video reliability across different laptops. Entry-level hubs can be a bit sensitive to laptop/monitor combinations (resolution/refresh behaviour, occasional handshake quirks), and the overall experience tends to be “fine for spreadsheets/meetings” rather than “ideal for creative work or multi-monitor setups.” If you mainly want a **simple, portable** solution for **one external display** and basic connectivity, it’s a sensible purchase. If you’re managing lots of different device models in the fleet and want maximum consistency, you might be better off paying a bit more for a more robust docking product.
