For £25.52 ex-VAT, the Targus HyperDrive wired USB‑C dock is the kind of “good enough, dependable” accessory I’d recommend for people who just need a couple of practical connections at their desk or on the office commute. It’s a solid choice for admin staff, analysts, or anyone with a laptop that already does most of the work who mainly wants extra ports without paying for a full premium docking station. The wired approach also usually means fewer moving parts to worry about and quick setup—plug it in and you’re working.
That said, I wouldn’t buy it if you’re expecting a one‑dock-to-rule-them-all experience (multi-monitor setups, heavy peripherals, or “always flawless” performance under load). At this price, you’re paying for simplicity, not maximum expandability—so if you need lots of connectivity options or high-demand docking, you’ll likely end up frustrated and looking to upgrade sooner. If your use case is straightforward—bringing a bit more connectivity to your laptop—this is good value. If your setup is complex, skip it and go for a higher-tier dock.
