Review Text: Small, Attractive and Versatile. I have a Microsoft Surface Go which has a limited number of accessory ports, i.e., one USB-C port, so I was anxious to give this compact, attractive, multi-media hub a try. It does not come with a power adapter, but it has an input for one: USB-C, of course, of which there are a plethora available. It you are going to be feeding power hungry devices, the Belkin has pass-through power of up to 60 watts. If for, example, you are using the Belkin in an office environment, you should be able to feed your all the multimedia connections to your tablet or laptop and power and charge your device at the same time. I used the Belkin passively at first, without connecting a power source. I plugged it in to my Surface Go, and attached an HP Monitor via the HDMI output, an Ethernet cable running to my home network router, a USB keyboard, and a USB mouse. A full-size SD card port is also available- one option I have not yet tested. All components worked swimmingly, and I could hear the corresponding Windows 10 sound play as I attached each device to the Belkin and Windows discovered and connected to it. The process was seamless and never required my intervention. All devices and connections worked swimmingly. I did not have a USB-C charger at home but did have one at work. I plugged it into the power port on the Belkin, and then plugged the Belkin into the USB-C port on the Surface. The charger I had was not putting out anywhere hear the 60-watt capacity of the Belkin, but it was nonetheless charging my Surface. Into my briefcase this Belkin has gone. I am sure I will be seeing a lot of it during our work projects and travels.
