Acer USB C Hub with 4K HDMI, 9-in-1 Laptop Docking Station with 1080P VGA

This Hub has it all! The hub features a solid case with RJ 45 jack (ethernet), USB, HDMI, VGA, SD, Micro SD and more. The new Surface Pro 11 Snapdragon X and Elite is finicky when paired with a Type C USB hub, after two others failed to connect or did not allow it to recognize the RJ45 port, I was not hopefully with this one. However, it exceeded my expectations and works! This dock/hub provides full port usage in a nice form factor. The cable is long enough to not hang on the port but short enough to not be in the way. It was a simple plug and play and within seconds the devices recognized it, not drivers to install or software to download. Utilizing a Type C thunderbolt charging block it told me when the one being used was underpower when connecting the device, usb and HDMI while charging. This was good to know, it DOES Not come with its own power brick which would have been great to get a PD 100W or 65W charger included, but for the price of under 30 dollars this isn’t expected. Compared to the Surface Hub it works much better and there appear to be NO random disconnects for this hub, like others. I tested it for compatibility to worked with the MBP (intel), IPAD, Android Phone, M3 MacBook, Surface Book 2, One X Player 2 (Ryzen APU), Surface Pro 11 and a few others and all devices functioned as required with it. It just works, this is the one to purchase Good on Acer for this HUB.

Lightweight, versatile docking station for my Chromebook. Supports an external monitor via HDMI or VGA, has SD and microSD slots, USB-A ports, and RJ-45 Ethernet port for wired Ethernet. All works like it should, except for occasional blanking on the HDMI. At first I thought this might be a cable or monitor issue, but the symptom occurs on two different monitors and two different HDMI cables. Sometimes when it loses sync it blanks the screen for a few seconds and then comes back. Sometimes after blanking it goes into a "snow mode". Shutting down the monitor or disconnecting the HDMI input will usually (97%) restore the display after "snow mode". I have a second docking station by another vendor with very similar features and form factor, and I never have any blanking issues with it and either of the monitors or HDMI cables. If it weren't for the random blanking of the screen this gem would get 5 stars for the value of its features. I'm using it as I type this review. It gets the job done, except for about 5 to 10 seconds per hour when the screen goes blank. It may also be the case that when it "blanks" it also loses connection with storage devices plugged into the SD slot or USB-A ports. I experienced some glitches with spontaneous disconnections earlier, but so far have not performed tests to verify and isolate the cause of those disconnections. Aug 2026 update: Gave this a second chance after my other hub had problems. All of the blanking behavior has vanished. Works perfectly now. The only thing that has changed is software updates to the Chromebook I use it with. So perhaps this was a software compatibility issue all along. Changed to 5 stars.

I have been using this for two years and it still works great. I use it to connect a screen to my laptop via HDMI cable, and I use it to connect an Ethernet cable. I also use it to connect anything with old USB ports into my computer. I make a conscious effort to keep the hub and the cord that connects it to my laptop supported so that there is no strain on the connecting cable. If you treat it well, it will work well. That’s been my experience.

Updated to 4-star: This Acer USB hub works on the Google TV Streamer and lets you view media on USB drives. I can connect like this: [USB-C power into]--[Acer USB hub which connects through USB-C into]--[Google TV dongle which connects through HDMI into]--[TV]. This setup lets me view multi-language MKV files on Google TV's VLC app from my USB flash drive. I could change audio and subtitle tracks! It worked great! Vizio Smart TV's own VLC app doesn't support multi-track MKVs for some odd reason, and Google TV didn't detect the USB drive when it was connected directly to the TV, so I needed the Acer hub to use the Google TV VLC app. It wasn't the original reason that I bought this hub, but it's useful now, so I recommend it for Google TV users. -------------------------- Original 1-star: The USB-C charging port does not power the USB-A ports. I specifically wanted a hub for external HDD, but this does not work for that. I had the hub connected to both power (into USB-C input) and my HP-Envy Windows 11 desktop computer (USB-C hub cable), but my 2.5" HDD would not power up. It tried to power up but it only made weak clicks, whereas it works normally when connected directly to my computer.

Has all you need

It’s been a mixed bag with this hub. My laptop would not recognize an external monitor through the hub’s HDMI port and had to plug the cable directly into the port on my laptop. Currently I have the following attached to the hub: a power cable for my external monitor, a cable for an external HDD that I use for backups, a printer cable, and an Ethernet cable. I friend suggested that I might have too much running through the hub and that I try disconnecting the Ethernet cable and plugging in the HDMI cable. I did but the monitor was still not recognized, so I went back to my original setup. Occasionally I loose the Ethernet connection and have to push the connector into the port. I never had that problem with this Ethernet cable when it was plugged into my desktop, so it seems to be a problem with the Ethernet port on this hub. I haven’t tried the other ports on the hub, so I don’t know if they work. I wonder if I have a defective unit or if this is a more widespread problem. I only turn on the external HHD when I do backups. With the Ethernet cable attached and 2 things powered on, the hub is noticeably warm to the touch. I wonder how hot the hub would get if I were also using the USB C and HDMI ports. In all, I’m not impressed with this hub. Update: Acer Customer Service contacted me. I didn't ask for a refund, but they made one anyway. It really wasn't a problem with the hub but a mismatch with the USB C port on my laptop. Acer's response keeps me as a loyal customer. They went above and beyond my expectations. I am changing my rating to 5 stars due to their excelent customer service.

When I first received this hub, it felt lighter than I expected. On my work laptop it performs well—HDMI output works, as do the USB wireless receiver for keyboard and mouse, headset, and USB-C charging. However, on my personal PC, the HDMI port doesn’t function, which may be due to my computer but still limits its usefulness for me. Another downside is the short cable. Since I keep my PC on a stand for better ergonomics, the hub ends up hanging in the air, which isn’t ideal. In the end, I think I focused more on the price tag than on whether it truly met my needs.

Excellent USBC Hub. Acer is a trusted brand, and the item is AUTHENTIC. You can utilize the added USBA ports, SD/Micro SD Reader slots HDMI Connection for an additional monitor, and am For newer PCs and tablets that have limited or no USB ports I highly recommend this hub!!! It consolidates multiple uses from one USBC port while still allowing for the device to be charged through that port.

This arrived in good time. It was small enough to fit through the letterbox. It works well.

I was looking for an RJ45 connector. I bought this one because it has all the other ports that my laptop doesn’t have. The RJ45 to LAN connector works fine.

Fa il suo, funziona molto bene, non ho riscontrato problemi. Mi serviva solo un adattatore Ethernet, ma da questa necessità ho preferito comprare un adattatore che avesse già tutto, per qualsiasi altra eventualità futura. Dispone di: Ethernet, VGA, 3 porte USB, HDMI, microSD, SD, Type-C. La porta Type-C permette anche di far passare la ricarica, quindi si collega il caricabatterie all'adattatore e quest'ultimo al PC. È completamente in alluminio.

This is a really useful accessory for macbook and new generation pc and mobile users,, helped me alot with my daily chores and handling my business work

Hub reconnu dès le branchement. Connexions Internet, VGA, HDMI impeccables. Utilisation en hub USB sans problème.
