What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“Brought as a gift, the feedback has been really good”
Verified purchase“Great product! make sure your USB-C is linked to the GPU otherwise get a USB-C to HDMI + 2 USB cable from their website directly (about £15)If your USB-C is linked to the GPU (all laptops do, but older PC don't) then all you need is the USB-C connector, no pover cable which is great.This size is pretty big, anything bigger like the 20 inch you would struggle to use it efficiently”
