AI-generated summary
For £48.06 ex-VAT, this StarTech USB‑C multiport adapter is a pretty sensible “travel and meeting room” buy — the kind of thing you keep in a laptop bag and actually use. StarTech’s stuff is usually reliable, and this is the right class of device if you mainly want one external display via HDMI plus a single USB connection for your mouse, dongle, or network adapter. The 60W USB‑C Power Delivery is also a practical sweet spot: it tends to keep typical business laptops topped up without messing around with extra chargers, which saves faff (and desk clutter) when you’re working away from home.
That said, it’s not the dock you buy if you expect “desktop replacement” behaviour. You’re paying for a compact adapter, not multiple full-bandwidth ports or heavy-duty multi-monitor setups, and USB 3.x on a dongle has limits depending on what else you plug in. If you run dual monitors, dock peripherals heavily, or need tons of USB bandwidth consistently, you’ll likely be happier spending more on a proper dock. Overall: good value for someone with a USB‑C business laptop who wants reliable HDMI output and simple expansion, but it’s a “light-duty” adapter — not a workstation hub.
