Your mobile device is nearly (if not more) powerful than your laptop. And, while its portability is impressive, that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t add an HDMI screen, a couple of USB 3.0 ports, SD expansion, 100W pass-through charging, and a trusty audio jack when you’re working at a desk. The Little Screen Becomes the Big Screen: The Plugable USB-C Docking Station with Tablet Stand or Phone Stand (UDS-7IN1) adds functionality to your Windows tablet, M1 or M2 iPad Air or iPad Pro. Let’s start with your screen—when it comes time to get actual work done, the pinch and zoom will only get you so far. Extend to a bigger screen with a 4K 30Hz capable HDMI port. It’s like going from fun-sized to full-sized. 8-IN-1: Your content is looking real sharp on that big, 4K screen, but a bigger screen is just the start. What if you could add a real keyboard? And a real mouse? Then you’d be ready to get some real work done. In addition to the 4K HDMI port, this hub lets you power up with 100W pass-through charging (91W output), add a mouse and keyboard (or whatever you need) to the two USB 3.0 (5Gbps) ports, expand with SD and MicroSD ports, and tune out with the audio jack. Hub and Stand in One: As a hub, you get port expansion. As a stand, you get solid aluminum construction that manages to be incredibly durable and still light enough to carry with you. But don’t let its potential for portability fool you—the UDS-7IN1 still has just enough heft to hoist your iPad Pro 12.9. And the feeling of quality continues through to the hinges, too. With enough tension to stay put when you tap away at the screen, you might be surprised by the satisfying slide you experience when adjusting the stand for the perfect angle. And if you do decide to take it with you, the UDS-7IN1 folds flat enough to fit in your bag
