Seems to work well! I've only tested the passthrough power and the USB slots (for mouse and data). Compact and pretty smart design that seems like the protected cord will age well. My only complaint so far is that the charging rate is definitely significantly slower than the direct block straight to my Pixelbook, but better than nothing. I'll also add that when I plug into my monitor (Thinkpad screen with two USB C ports that support data, display, and power) it makes a disconcerting quiet buzzing noise, so I won't be doing that again, just stick with the laptop. Crossing my fingers that this hub is longer-lasting, since my last USB-C hub lasted just past its 30day warranty. Uploading a photo of the back of the box, which I think is clearer than the stock photos in its diagram of what ports this hub includes. Was ~$74 when I purchased (not sure I would buy at full price unless you know you're going to use all ports and need the passthrough power feature).

Handy. However, the cord connecting to my laptop is very short. Convenient way to plug in my cordless mouse and keyboard and HDMI to TV when I am using the laptop as my main PC at home and quick unplug when I need to just grab my laptop and go. Small enough to take along if needed though.

I have a work laptop that's very locked down, including having bluetooth disabled. So I've been living with plugging in a USB mouse and also an HDMI cable to an external monitor. At least once a day, I unplug everything including power and move to another location to work and that's been a bit of a pain. Now, however, this adapter works great as a dock for that laptop. I can leave the mouse and monitor plugged into the hub, then just quickly pull the power cable and USB-C (from the hub) and move the laptop. When I bring it back and reconnect the hub, everything starts working almost instantly which isn't always the case with some other hubs I've used. If you're looking at the DA300 model vs. this one, I think the only difference is the DA310 has an extra USB-A port as well as the 90W power pass-through capability which can be a very useful feature. You can plug a USB-C power source directly into the hub, then it powers your laptop through the USB-C out cable as well as anything else you have plugged into the USB-A ports. I'll include a picture from the quick start guide that shows the various options pretty clearly. For external monitors, the hub has an HDMI, display port, VGA port, and USB-C (if you're not already using it for something else). However, it's important to know you can only use one of those at a time for video. So this won't work for you if you're trying to add two external monitors to your laptop, for example. The hub itself is about the size of a Hostess Ding Dong if you're familiar with those. The very short USB-C cable that goes to your laptop is very cleverly rolled up or released by twisting the hub. In a few seconds you can have the cable stowed away and the hub's ready to go in your backpack. Overall, I'm very pleased with this hub and would not hesitate to buy another if I needed it.
