QDOS PowerLink Combi

£49.99

The QDOS PowerLink Combi provides an all-in-one hub system for your all charging, data transfer, audio and card reading needs. Designed to cut down on the excessive need for multiple different wires with different ports or adapters to make them work, the PowerLink Combi does it all, all whilst seamlessly charging your MacBook.

Straight out of the box, the PowerLink Combi is lightweight in a subtle space grey colourway to match your Apple MacBook set-up. The slim device features 3 USB 3.1 ports, a USB-C port, a HDMI port, an audio jack, an SD Card Reader, and a Micro SD card reader. The unit also has a 10 cm built-in cable for easy use and attachment to your laptop and charging wires. Therefore, the PowerLink Combi has been carefully built to charge your devices and laptop quickly, sync seamlessly and display images with ease.

I took the PowerLink Combi with me on a recent trip, and it has saved me so much time and hassle. Often when I’m travelling, I have to strategically choose which device is the most important to charge, as with limited ports on my laptop I cannot charge all of them at once. However, with the PowerLink Combi, I had plenty of port space for all my needs in just one single unit.

Whilst I did not require it on this trip, the SD and Micro SD card reader is a great addition to the PowerLink Combi. The SD and Micro SD card reader would be essential for those who regularly take lots of pictures or videos whilst travelling. The reader lets you seamlessly transfer all of this media from the SD cards onto your laptop for safekeeping, so you no longer have to worry about losing valuable memories due to misplaced or full SD cards thanks to the PowerLink Combi.

I found the charging speed was pretty decent considering how many ports the PowerLink Combi can provide power. I did find the more cables you added the slower the charging was, but this is to be expected as you’re effectively splitting its power output between devices.

Overall, if you are someone who travels a lot for work or are in need of an all-in-one useful hub to make your laptop's ports just a little bit more effective, then the PowerLink Combi is going to be a perfect choice for you. With QDOS you know you are getting quality for the price point, and the PowerLink Combi is no exception.

Pros:

• 8 ports for a range of USB, USBC, audio jack, SD and Micro SD card readers and HDMI cables
• Seamless, stylish and lightweight unit perfect for travelling
• Great for those who work on the go a lot and need greater laptop port availability for things such as charging or data transfer

Cons:

• The charging speed is impacted the more cables you add to the PowerLink Combi unit, but this is to be expected when charging/using multiple functions of the device simultaneously
