Over the past few weeks, I’ve been putting the 5-in-1 USB-C Hub (Model Number: 10919) through its paces. This silver aluminum hub promises to transform a single USB-C port into a versatile workstation, and I was eager to see if it lived up to the hype. My testing involved various devices, including a MacBook Pro, iPad Pro, and several peripherals. This review details my experience, both the good and the not-so-good.

This hub boasts a comprehensive set of features, aiming to address the common connectivity needs of modern laptops and tablets. The inclusion of a 100W USB-C Power Delivery (PD) port, a 4K HDMI port, two USB-A ports, and a Gigabit Ethernet port is certainly impressive. The sleek, Mac-style design adds to its appeal. The build quality feels solid, with a premium aluminum alloy casing. The subtle LED indicator is a nice touch, letting you know the hub is powered up without being obtrusive.

The 100W PD charging worked flawlessly, quickly juicing up my MacBook Pro. The 4K HDMI output provided a crisp, clear image on my monitor, and the Ethernet connection offered a significant speed boost over Wi-Fi, particularly noticeable when transferring large files. The two USB-A ports were reliable, with no issues connecting and using a mouse, keyboard, and external hard drive simultaneously. During extended use, the hub remained cool to the touch, indicating effective heat dissipation. I didn’t experience any noticeable lag or performance issues when using all ports concurrently.

However, I did observe some minor limitations. While the hub supports 4K@30Hz, it would be great to see support for higher refresh rates in future iterations. Also, the cable’s length could be slightly longer for optimal flexibility in setup arrangements.

Pros:

• Fast and reliable 100W PD charging
• Crisp 4K@30Hz HDMI output
• Stable Gigabit Ethernet connection
• Two functional USB-A ports
• Sleek and durable aluminum design
• Simultaneous use of all ports

Cons:

• Only supports 4K@30Hz output
• Cable could be slightly longer

Overall, the 5-in-1 USB-C Hub (Model Number: 10919) is a solid and versatile addition to my tech arsenal. Its combination of fast charging, reliable connectivity, and a premium design makes it a compelling choice for anyone needing to expand their USB-C device’s capabilities. While the limited 4K refresh rate and cable length are minor drawbacks, they don’t significantly detract from its overall functionality. I would confidently recommend this hub to anyone looking for a reliable and feature-rich solution.
