has a previous history of producing great value products at reasonable prices, so I was keen to test the newest iteration of a card reader and dock all-in-one that's made in a handy carry-everywhere size. Sent in a relatively plain design but Apple-style premium packaging, it comes only with a 40 Gbps/100 W patch USB-C cable in black. I would have liked to have seen a quick start guide included or maybe a QR code where I could be directed to one online, but nothing was included.
This feels like a premium product partly due to the weight and the metal build quality rather than cheap plastic, but I would have liked to have seen a quick start guide with it included or maybe a link to other products they do, and they have missed a trick not including one here. With a shiny touchscreen, you don't want it getting scratched in a bag, so this would be a must for inclusion with the finalized product. In black, this looks sleek.
This has an 8-in-one slot operation with a touchscreen information/swipe replacement for a standard analog key, which is responsive and works well. The slots included are as follows This is impressive simply because I can carry around one small dock rather than two or three separate card readers (normally I'll have an HDMI to USB-C connector plus CFexpress and a standard card reader in my bag). The beauty of this device is that it has all of these ports in one unit.
I love that idea and will certainly be using this out in the field more. The one thing I did not.
