On the top flat surface of this hub, there is the brand name. On one of the long edges, there is just the USB-C port and on the other edge, there are all of the connectivity ports. The photos and the illustration below show the design and the types of ports.
Performance
This hub is designed specifically for the iPad, and that is what I used for testing. It plugs seamlessly into the iPad’s USB-C port and as you can see from the charging indicator on the iPad in the photo below, charging/powering via the USB-C port works.
The illustration below shows the connectivity options that include headphones or speakers, a USB-A drive, a power adapter, etc. The USB-C port can also be used to connect to another device for data transfer.
The photo below shows a USB thumb drive plugged into the USB-A port on the hub, and in the second photo, you can see that the drive shows up as “untitled” (I did not name the drive when I formatted it) in the iOS Files app.
In this next photo, I have a second screen connected via the HDMI port on the hub.
These last 2 photos show my iPad connected to the RODECaster Pro that I use for my Podcast via a USB-C to USB-C cable and the Ferrite app and for call-in guests a USB-C to TRRS cable for use with Skype. This connectivity is for separate purposes and not simultaneous.
What I like
- The compact size
- The Plug and Play functionality
- The flawless performance
What I’d change
- I am not sure if this is possible, but I would like a second USB-C port so that one port allows for charging while another allows for bi-directional data. This would allow me to use for data with equipment while charging. I tried using a USB-A to C bi-directional cable to solve the data issue but it does not work
Final thoughts
The Choetech 4 in 1 hub is a great tool to have and a great addition to my daily workflow and also for some specific tasks that I require for my Podcast recordings. It works flawlessly and while it is not the perfect solution for me, it is more than worth the price. Well done.
