As technology continues to advance, laptops are becoming more and more powerful. However, as laptops become thinner and more compact, the number of ports available are drastically reduced. This is where the Shuomeng USB C Hub 6-in-1 Type C Multiport Adapter comes in to play. It claims to offer a range of ports that will allow you to connect to the devices you need to get work done. In this review, we will be taking an in-depth look at this product and assess whether or not it can live up to its promises.

First off, the product prides itself on being able to connect to a range of devices such as MacBook Pro/Air, Dell XPS, and other Type C devices. The reason this is important is that you don't want to have to buy a new hub every time you switch to a different product. The Shuomeng USB C Hub is designed to work with all Type C devices that have data, charging, and video output over the Type C port.

One of the most important features of any hub is the number of ports that are available. Shuomeng is offering 6 different ports on this hub, which is a significant upgrade for anyone who works with laptops on a daily basis. Included in these 6 ports is one Ethernet/RJ-45 port, one USB Type-C 100w PD charging port, one 4K@30hz HDMI port, and 3 USB 3. 0 Type A data ports. This means you can charge your laptop, connect to the internet and still have three additional USB ports available to connect devices such as hard drives and additional monitors.

The main selling point of this hub, however, is the 4K UHD HDMI Output. With the HDMI port outputting up to 4K@30Hz or Full HD 1080P@60Hz resolution, you can mirror or extend your screen to HDTV, monitor, or projector for Full HD movie, 3D video games, office meetings, and entertainment. This is perfect for those who may be working with multimedia as it can expand your workspace and allow you to have a larger viewing area for any presentation work.

Another important feature is the charging power the hub provides. USB C Hub Multiport Adapter supports 100W PD power delivery, power out (charging) is limited to 87W for safety. This means that not only can you connect multiple devices, but you can also ensure your laptop is receiving the necessary amount of power it needs to continue working throughout the day. With this much power available, you could theoretically charge your laptop and still have enough power left to connect additional devices.

The hub was also incredibly easy to use and set up, with no additional drivers required to use it. This is great for those who may not be as tech-savvy and want a product that they can easily plug and play with. The product worked with all types of operating systems such as Windows, Mac OS, Linux, and Chromebook OS.

Finally, we must address the price point. At around $30 to $40, this is fairly standard for USB hubs that offer as many ports as this hub does. However, this hub is unique in the sense that it offers 4K UHD HDMI Output, which means it is suitable for multimedia and presentation work. So, if you are someone who frequently works with multimedia, then the price point is actually a steal.

Overall, the Shuomeng USB C Hub 6-in-1 Type C Multiport Adapter is an excellent hub to purchase if you need to increase your number of ports and have additional multimedia capabilities. The six different ports on the hub provide enough functionality for any user to get work done, and the ease of use is a huge benefit. The 4K UHD HDMI Output feature is a standout feature, and coupled with the reasonable price point, makes this product highly recommendable. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to expand their port options on their laptop.
