Most Notebook Computers & Chromebooks Are Light & Thin & Really Short On Inputs!
I have WiFi in my Gizneyland studio, but it doesn't extend to my apartment next door. I ran a cable between the two apartments, which means I only have a hard-wired connection in my living space. So when I took my Acer Chromebook there, I remembered it's setup for WiFi only. That's where the OWC USB-C Travel Dockcame in handy. By plugging it into my Chromebook I would be adding an Ethernet port and more. The Dock E has a 100 watt power pass through, so you plug it into your USB-C powered notebook or Chromebook and then you'll added six ports, one of which is the USB-C power pass through. You don't even need to remember to bring a cable because one is built into the bottom of the unit. The six ports are: (2) USB 3 Type-A, 4K HDMI 2.0, SD card reader, Gigabit Ethernet, and 100 watt USB-C power pass through. So via its integrated USB-C connecting cable, this mini Travel Dock E lets you transforms one USB-C input into a decent mobile office with the ability to connect, charge, display, and import with USB-C equipped computers, tablets, and phones. MSRP: $64.99. If you don't need the Ethernet port, the V2 model w/o that port sells for $10 less on Amazon and most other retailers.
