Heavy weight multiple screen docking station
Couple of caveats.1. I only have one spare display and due to the second caveat I wanted to leave my main monitor connected to my graphics card.2. As I am due to replace my desktop this year and laptop next I presently do not have USB-C ports to connect to, so used an adapter and a USB-A 3.0 port. Impressively all five USB ports worked as did each of the HDMI ports (though with just one connection.I described this as a heavy weight dicking station and it is so in more ways than one. Aside from a pair of USB-A 3.0 ports, a pair of USB-C 3.2 ports, there is also a 100W USB-C port, though I could not test the performance of that due to the caveated connection to my PC.There is also a 1Gb RJ45 port for those who need (I personally do prefer wired to wireless). This is before the two 4K HDMI ports, though the inner one is just 30Hz not 60 and they are not labelled as such).The other way this is a heavy weight is by its mass. This is not a light device you are going to throw in to a bag. Sure it feels rugged due to the metal (aluminium ?) case but this is really something you will set up on a desk and leave. It is not something you will take on holiday with you.There are only two mild negatives I have for this station. The first is a lack of speed markings for the two HDMI ports, after all there USB-C ports are. The second is the need to install additional software to used both HDMI ports at the same time, however as you are given the URL and this is Belkin so you know the link is safe, that's a minor quibble.

I really like this usb-c 8-in-1 Dual Display
The media could not be loaded. I really like this usb-c 8-in-1 Dual Display. I have connected my HP laptop to it and then to my TV screen and it worked immediately without any driver installation and video quality is stunning! I've also attached additional devices into it (e'g' externl HDD, usb sticks, printer etc) and it worked instanlty. It is made by solid and robust metal and it seems designed for intense usage.

Solid USB Hub from a trusted brand
This USB Hub is fantastic.It is a solidly constructed device, finished in a silver coating and looks the part.The unit is simple to get started, fast, and has all the slots you need for a home set up. With 2 HDMI slots, 2 USB A, 2 USB C, one extra USB C which is a 100w port, and an ethernet slot it sure packs a punch!I connected my ipad to the tv using the USB C slot, and the HMDI to connect to the TV and it was super fast and no need for any additional drivers for this. The speed of upload to the TV was impressive and the quality excellent.This unit has been made by a reputable and premium brand, and I have no concerns in connecting it to any of my devices. It's a great unit and will be useful for many things, we're due to get a 2nd monitor for my sons PC and this will be perfect for that set up.

Solid, Heavy, USB Hub That Works For Me
This is a weighty hub from a vey well known manufacturer. It is an all alloy construction and looks stylish.It says on the product page that it is plug and play but the first thing you see when opening the package is a big sticker on the hub telling you to download drivers before you use it, see attached photograph.I use this when I bring my work laptop home to do some work, my main computer is connected to my monitor with a display port cable, so I use the monitors HDMI input to connect this, that means I can switch the display by switching my monitor input and get to use my laptop on a nice 35" display. The hub is also connected by ethernet to my network rather than wirelessly like it was before meaning I get faster speeds. I also have it connected to a power supply so my laptop charges whilst in use. I have a lot of my work stuff on an external USB drive for when I travel so I can connect that as well.The above setup has really cut down my home laptop set up time, as now all I do is plug in one lead and maybe a mouse and keyboard if I am working for extended periods.The hub although weighty does slide around on the desk as it has no feet, I will probably attach a rubber sheet or something to the bottom as there are no vents there.I know this is a bit expensive and I could have probably got the same outcome using something cheaper, but I like well known branded items rather than no name brands where the quality of components used can be dubious and also with this you get a 2 year warranty.In conclusion a well made quality hub by a respected manufacturer that has worked perfectly for me.

Great usb-c dock
This is a nice usb-c hub from a reputable brand. It's well made with aluminium casing.It supports 2* 4k monitors, although one is 60hz and the other 30hz so be aware its not great for gaming. However if you're just using it for browsing/spreadsheets etc then it's great.It can pass through 100w PD via usb-c (no power adaptor included) so should charge most laptops.If the spec matches your requirements then I'd be happy to recommend this unit.

A very well made piece of kit
This USB C Hub is a great piece of kit. It is quite heavy and feels like it is made of solid metal which gives you some confidence about its build quality, but does also mean that it's better suited to home use rather than travel.It has 100w power passthrough (PD) USB C port (power provided using your own USB charger), gigabit ethernet, 2x standard USB C ports and 2x HDMI slots - one 4K60Hz and one 4k 30Hz. It then connects to your laptop using a built in USB C cable. I always prefer to use a USB C extension on this to prevent any wear to the built in cable as it can't be replaced.The HDMI connections can both be used simultaneously - I didn't require any extra drivers to do this, but I note another reviewer did need this, so it may be computer specific. These can be downloaded from the belkin site. I do think with a premium hub like this it may have been wise for Belkin to future proof slightly by installing a 2.5G ethernet connection, however this is a minor point considering this isn't widely available yet.All in a great quality and useful product.
