I don't know if the small partners have found that the notebooks listed in the past two years, the interfaces on the fuselage are getting less and less, and without exception, the type-c port is used as a charging port, the extreme is like Apple, and its notebook even leaves a type-c interface. I believe that the small partner's home is no longer equipped with a desktop computer, but I think that the needs of work and life will still be used with a notebook. It is precisely because of portability and appearance that the notebook in the past two years has been continuously optimized, and one of the reforms is this one that people love and hate - C mouth. Type-C is a form of USB interface that has a popular trend (other interface types of USB are Type-A and Type-B). It was launched with the latest USB 3.1 standard, released by the USB-IF organization in August 2014, is the USB standardization organization in order to solve the USB interface for a long time physical interface specifications are not unified, power can only be one-way transmission and other drawbacks and developed a new interface, it set charging, display, data transmission and other functions in one. The biggest feature of the Type-C interface is that it supports forward and reverse 2 directions of insertion, which officially solves the world problem of "USB is never plugged in", and the front and back are plugged in casually.
Although the interface of the notebook has been reduced, we can use an external docking station to achieve the effect of expanding the notebook interface.
The other day I used a colleague's 7-in-1 docking station, and I felt that it was enough to play.

▲The packaging is printed with a rendering of the product based on a blue-green gradient, and the lower half writes the characteristics of the product: multi-functional interface integration, a new generation of processing chips, and an all-aluminum alloy anodized shell.
I chose a 7-in-1 model, and otherwise, RAVPOWER has 5-in-1, 8-in-1, 9-in-1. 8 of them have a Gigabit Ethernet port, 9 have an audio port on the basis of a Gigabit Ethernet port, and 7 to 5 have one more TK card slot, so the 7-in-1 style should be the most commonly used.
▲The back of the product marks the models of all interfaces.
▲After opening the package, you can see the instruction manual and the docking station body.
▲ There are three warning messages on the extension house, one is to warn us that when we are fully loaded or using the PD adapter, the docking station will heat up to 55 ° C; the USB3.0 port is not supported for devices with a power greater than 7.5W; the PD adapter below 40W cannot charge some devices through this docking station. Manufacturers are still very conscientious, directly "ugly said in front"
▲Thanks to the all-aluminum alloy material and Cai Yanhong's anodizing process, while being wear-resistant and antioxidant, it can also achieve the body's thin and anti-fingerprint, fast heat dissipation and more stable performance. As for the storage interface, I tried it myself, and in the case of all the interfaces plugged in, the speed of USB3.0 is not low, and the effect of the test will be posted below.
▲ On the side of the docking station, you can clearly see the three USB 3.0 interfaces.
▲ On the other side, there is actually the C port of DC IN, TF card slot, SD card slot.
▲The tail end is a high-definition interface (4K Oh!). ）

charge
▲ Connect the laptop's power adapter to the DC IN port of the docking station (some students will connect the line out of this port with the computer end, so it is useless to drop ~ do not use the wrong pull)
▲ The notebook is directly charged, remembering that last year, the C port of the mobile phone was charged to the computer, and the end really consumed electricity faster than charging

Try the HD line effect and find the cute Ninomiya bud.
▲ Unconsciously, I brushed it several times without thinking
External storage + speed measurement
▲In the picture, my 128G U disk, 8GTF slow card, and 8GSD high-speed card are all recognized normally. This is because each function of the docking station has independent chip control, so it can run independently and is safe and smooth.
▲ The world's martial arts are only fast and not broken, and the speed measurement should be fast, take a 1G movie to try the effect.
▲The in base is around 35M, and the out is basically around 194M, and the effect is satisfactory! Wandefu!
compatible
▲It is almost compatible with the products used by most people.
<h1 class="ql-long-16051931" > summary</h1>
The heating status of the docking station must be mentioned, not objectively (personal subjective body feeling), in the process of use, only compatible charging can feel a little hot, but not very hot is equivalent to no impact.
Face value. RaVPOWER this brand is minimalist, and not embroidered pillows, the product is also very capable.
compatibility. Whether it is Apple devices or Microsoft or Android devices, it can be used.
velocity. Even if other devices are connected, the USB transfer speed can reach the standard 3.0 device or higher.
Portable. Having said so much, its portability is naturally also very important, the width is only half of the phone, and the weight can be ignored in the pocket.
This docking station is a good way to alleviate the interface anxiety, while the performance and portability can also exceed the daily use needs, it is worth the pursuit of quality of small partners to start.
