Extremely versatile USB hub
While the majority of USB hubs out there are designed for portable use with laptops and generally have 6 slots, I was looking for a larger hub that I could use with my iMac at home. When it arrived, I was surprised to see that it’s only 1cm wider than my previous 6 slot hub.I’m currently using this to extend my iMac to two Samsung ultra HD monitors and it works perfectly with no issues in resolution. Out of curiosity I also extended my MacBook to the same two monitors - again with no issues in quality or lag.The overall design is modern, portable and sturdy. It’s lightweight yet you can throw it into a bag without fear of damage. Cable is strong, through like most hubs, could do with being a little longer for use with desktop computers. I use an iMac and if plugged into the first USB slot, it sits nicely on the stand - so I'm happy! The slots are well positioned - all 4 USB slots are on one side (with additional USB-C) - this is great for quick access of USB drives. The HDMI slots and card readers are on the opposite side. I like the fact that the ethernet port is on the end which keeps it out of the way. You will quickly wonder how you managed to live without the extra USB ports - especially when it comes to phone/tablet charging. Now you have everything in one place!It’s also worth noting that the claim about not overheating is true. While there is some ‘warmth’ of the casing after several hours of use, it doesn’t get ‘hot’ like other hubs. This is a plus and I wan't at all worried about overheating.Having tried several USB hubs, this one is by far my best purchase and I would happily recommend to anyone looking to purchase a portable, versatile hub.

Best Purchase of 2020 *****
Your browser does not support HTML5 video. Well, TBH, This is one of the best purchase i had in 2020. As an editor, i use different source for recording and editing footage such as TF Cards, SD Cards, Hard Drives (3.0 & 2.0) so this one Hub station made my workflow more professional and smoother. The build quality is very good and solid. Gun Metal colour match with my Macbook Pro which makes good impression. Solid light weight easy to carry and Loads of connectctivuty options. as i have 4K 52" Display so this is like a good life hack. I can connect multiple screens (HDMI) including 4K and HD easily and best thing is there is no clutter. Just one cable goes to your computer and this dock handle everything else. the little printed signs of mouse, keyboard and other devices helps you to connect your device easily. Data Copying speed is superfast and workflow is very smooth. There are 2 USB C options for Charging and using Hard Drive. Ethernet option is for people who use LAN Cable for internet. I think this is a must have device for Audio and Video creators. VERY IMPRESSED AND SATISFIED WITH PURCHASE. *****

Brilliant little device!
I had originally bought the previous version of this device which came with a VGA and HDMI ports. Unfortunately, I use two HDMI monitors attached to my laptop. So I was still having to use the small "ASUS -supplied" adapter you also see in the photo. Now having used this adapter for the last few years, it's not very robust, and has caused the adapter socket on my laptop mainboard to become a little loose. This has resulted in the monitor connected via that adapater to flicker on/off too frequently for my liking. Now when I was only using this set-up occasionally it wasn't so bad, but since I've been working from home since March it has become extremely irritating. So when I was asked if I would be interested in testing out the new version of the FitFort USB adapter with 3 HDMI sockets on it, I jumped at the chance ... I have to say, this little device is fantastic. It comfortably copes with 2 HDMI monitors connected (unfortunately, I don't have a third to try!). I've also got a wired (ethernet) connection now to reduce any Wi-Fi drop-outs. The other benefit is that it still has 4 USB ports, which I can use for memory sticks and for an external hard drive (that I use for backups and media storage). And as if that wasn't enough ... it also has SD-card reader sockets, which I also use for formatting and writing Raspian OS to for my Raspberry Pi's!The device has expanded the possibilities for me, since a few years ago I chose to purchase a lighter and more portable laptop which sacrifices certain sockets for portability, and hence the adapter which connects to a now wobbly micro-USB socket, but thankfully I don't have to use that adapter any more now thanks to this device.It does heat up a little, but it's nothing to be alarmed about :) I couldn't do without the FitFort adapter now! Easy to set-up. Easy to use. All my sockets in one place on the same side of my desk, and rock-solid HDMI connections and no flickering monitors!

Works well.
I wanted a small hub for Windows Lenovo c940 Yoga that offered (a) pass through charging, (b) a spare USB C port and (c) metal casing. There are very few of these at a reasonable price. The Anker PowerExpand 8 in 1 A8380 model has the 3rd USB C port but is plastic cased and reviews say it gets hot.I've only had this unit for a day but so far it appears good. It's compact and gets warm, but not excessively so. It certainly cooled down fine once the PC was sleeping. It seems better quality than the Lemorele 5-in-1 USB C Hub I had before it - for example my Jabra Bluetooth dongle would not operate if plugged into the Lemorele, whereas it does with this one. Note that I only run one monitor through it, so maybe it gets hotter if you drive 3 monitors at once.Provided the hub lasts I'll be pleased with the purchase. It saves a lot of cable swapping around and wear on the laptop's ports.
