Anker 555 USB-C Hub (8-in-1)

Vital pieces of tech for travelling and remote office working. Recommended.

This device overheats on my dell xps, causes my computer fan to roar, reduces mt battery life to 50% to what is was before using.

To make matters worse, no one will get back with me regarding a replacement or just send me a return shipping label.

Good quality item , works well with or without separate power. Has 100w input capacity so will also charge iPad and power devices if attached to appropriate plug/charger

This Dock is not compatible with KVM Switches! I reached out to Support for help troubleshooting this issue and was promptly told this was not compatible with my setup. They will only issue me a refund if I pay shipping and claim that it is documented even though it is not. This company does not care about its customers needs, look elsewhere.

Never really had any problems with Anker gear, I've come to trust the brand name. This little hub is almost perfect for use with my 2019 MacBook Pro, but where Anker really dropped the ball is by not adding one more USB-C port. I mean, there's two, but if one is dedicated to power devices only that doesn't really leave much room for expansion by only giving you one extra, I mean they were thoughtful enough to give you two USB-A ports. I do like that the USB-C and two USB-A ports are version 3.2 Gen 2 rated for up to 10Gbps transfer speeds versus Gen 1 at 5Gbps. The plastic casing does get hot, not sure if aluminum metal would be any better, but it would feel nicer, plastic just feels cheap. Also, a dark case with dark letter printing doesn't work because you can't see the writing, should have used lighter letter coloring. Otherwise, solid performer. I'll keep it along with my other one because having two hubs with a laptop is convenient so I don't have to always haul a hub around from place to place.PROS:• 1 USB-C port version 3.2 Gen 2 rated up to 10Gbps.• 2 USB-A ports version 3.2 Gen 2 rated up to 10Gbps.• Also includes, HDMI, Ethernet, SD and micro SD card ports.CONS:• Plastic casing, gets hot.• Should have one more USB-C port.• Port description lettering is too dark, gets lost against dark case color, should have used white or silver lettering instead.• No audio port.
