   My job requires me to carry around at least two laptops most places. This can get a bit annoying sometimes with multiple power adapters to wrangle and taking up space. So was really intrigued when I found the Avermedia charger. All of my devices now have USB-C charging available as either the primary or secondary option, so this looked like a great option. After unpacking it and doing some testing on it seems to mostly live up to the claims. It has 2 USB c ports that both are capable of pushing 100watts according to specs. I wasn’t clear before ordering if the claim was 100 each / simultaneously, or 100 total that would be split between the two if both were being used. I can report it’s the latter. Which is fine, and kinda what I suspected was the case. 200 Watts would seem like a lot to push from such a compact power supply. During testing though I measured about 91 watts being pull from Macbook connected over USB-C, which is close enough to the rated 100, and more then likely that’s all my Macbook was asking for. When I plugged in a secondary device to the other usb-c port the charger splits the power evening to 45 watts each according to specs. This is exactly in line with what I observed with USB current meter connected. The device can also act as a Hub where you can connect USB peripherals to the USB-A Port also, and has and HDMI output. In testing I was able to have Macbook and Dell Laptop both connect to the hub and project to Monitor via the Avermedia HDMI port just fine. A USB mouse also connect fine via the hubs USB-A port. Finally, the only item I ran into issues with was using a USB thumb drive connected to the USB-A port. On my Macbook, it wouldn’t detect it at all. However, it was detected on my PC. Not sure if there’s a driver issue on the Mac, but other than that this thing is sweet. Finally, I did notice that it gets pretty darn warm when pushing the full 100 watts plus having a couple peripherals plugged in.

   This AverMedia Core dock allows you to not only connect 100W of USB-C Charging power as well as HDMI, good for laptops, the Switch, and more, but the USB port onboard allows you to connect peripherals and also plug an additional USB-C charger in for portable monitors, or just charging other smaller devices. However, if you use both USB-C ports for charging it is important to keep in mind that both ports will only supply a maximum of 45W, which is still good for most laptops and the Switch. I was able to use this to both charge, display, and connect peripherals to my ROG Ally, which makes it a solid portable gaming setup. The Elite variant of this dock supplies a capture card built in, which is absent from this Core model, but it still blows most docks out of the water in terms of power and portability. This is a great option for those working and gaming on the go!

   This dock is really nice. I am able to fast charge the ROG Ally X while using my 4K TV as a display. This also doubles as a 100W fast charger without docking it to the TV. It comes with all the cables you need. The coolest part is that there’s an extra USB port on the dock, which offers additional connectivity for a thumb drive, wireless keyboard dongle, etc. Overall, this is a fantastic option for your gaming handheld (Steamdeck, Legion Go, ROG Ally, etc).

   This is a really handy charging/dock brick. It’s rather compact for what it offers, and it’s quite heavy for its size, which could be an issue for it holding in wall outlets that don’t hold so tightly. Comes with UK and EU style adapters that clip in place really well, so this doubles as a travel charger. Charging rates seem good, although I don’t have a device that can push this to its limits. I love that you can get a data connection across USBs and plug in a USB drive or something else. This thing is really an all-in-one dock and charger.

   This has been an absolutely excellent docking station and charger for my Nintendo switch! It is well made and high quality all around and has been working great to date. It was simple to connect within minutes and it charges the device quickly and efficiently. The USB and HDMI ports also work well with no issues at all. So far, I am very pleased with this product, so it receives my five star ranking and recommendation for sure!

   This thing rocks. Ready to go out of the box, plug and play. If you travel alot you have easy to swap plug plates to work with. The charge rate meets the stated specs and the device works perfectly for the AV capabilities. The included cable feels nice and sturdy and has an upscale appearance. As long as you are good with the cost, it works perfectly and is easy to recommend.
