With most ports you would want all in one place and running off a USB-C connection it is hard to go wrong. The hub seems well built and even has rubber buffers at either end of the short cable which would normally be the stress points. Little things like that show some attention to detail. All the ports are well laid out and labeled which again just shows some attention to detail.The VGA port is a nice extra as my laptop is only HDMI out and often you find yourself in a conference room with only VGA so I need to carry a separate dongle for that. This hub gives me that and more.It has 4 USB connection 2 x 2.0 and 2 x 3.0. I put 2 2TB flash drives into the 2.0 and 3.0 at the same time and a 64 GB SD card into the available slot all at the same time and was easily and quickly able to move files between any of them and the laptop.The hub does have a power connection or can run off the laptop power. It is a Type C power port so you can use any kind of power source that will run through USB C.I also ran the hub through a Type C to Type A connector into my laptop. All of the USB and SD slots worked fine, however, the Ethernet would not communicate with my laptop. I got the green power light, but no recognition that it was there. I am fairly sure this was due to the adapter. Though a high-quality adapter, often there are specific data issues. I just ordered a different adapter and will try it again when it arrives and update the review if there is any difference.Overall, a quality product that puts a lot of capability into one place and even comes with a nice travel bag.
