Modern phones and tablets can replace desktop computers, at least for basic tasks. So if you’re not interested in shelling out big bucks for a big PC, try Plugable’s new USB-C stand dock (UDS-7N1) to pair with your mobile device.
The Plugable USB-C Stand Dock is available now for $70 (currently on sale for $50) and gives your phone or tablet six ports: two USB-A 3.0 ports, 4K 30Hz HDMI output, microSD and SD card slot). , and a headphone jack. The dock also features a USB-C power input for 100-watt pass-through charging.
If you’re an iPad user, this dock is first and foremost a USB hub. However, some Android devices, especially those made by Samsung, support USB-C video output and can be switched to “desktop mode” when paired with a computer monitor. The true value of the Plugable USB-C Stand Dock is here.
The Plugable USB-C Stand Dock can also be used with Windows tablets, including Surface devices from Microsoft. (Note that the stand itself is very sturdy and has multiple points of articulation so you can safely use the tablet’s touchscreen when docked.)
The Plugable USB-C Stand Dock is available now for $70. For a limited time, customers can clip the coupon on Amazon listings and save $20 on their orders.
