Parting Thoughts
As someone who “can work anywhere” I appreciate the flexibility of an accessory like the EZQuest USB-C Multimedia 8-in-1 Hub because it makes my laptop much more capable. The extra USB ports and HDMI ports make it easy for me to work on a multi-screen setup with access to a printer and external hard drive.
I like that I can toss this in my bag quickly and not worry about the cord breaking down anytime soon. The reinforced connections and braided cable give me the impression that the hub will outlast my demands. But, in the event there’s an issue in the first 18-months, I can fall back on the generous warranty.
This is a pretty solid value for the money, and depending on your needs, it could pay off in no time at all. Your productivity should increase immediately, if not exponentially.
