Belkin Wins Best Accessories Brand in 2022 BiC Awards by tech4tea.com

Friday, February 10th, 2023

Belkin makes reliable and well-built accessories that help users get the most out of their gadgets and devices.

Belkin is the Best Accessories Brand 2022 in the tech4tea.com Best-in-Class Awards this year.

Belkin is the Best Accessories Brand of 2022 in the tech4tea.com Best-in-Class Awards this year.

Living in the digital age, we are equipped with many electronic devices that enable us to get work done and enjoy our lives.

These range from smartphones which help us stay in touch, to computers which help us get work done, and tablets that provide entertainment and productivity on the go.

When it comes to accessories, Belkin is the go-to brand for us in tech4tea.com, not only because of the added functionality these accessories add to the devices they are connected to, but equally important is their quality of manufacture.

It is therefore the pleasure of tech4tea.com to bestow the “Best Accessories Brand of 2022” award to Belkin as part of our annual “Best-in-Class” awards.

The Achilles heel of these gadgets is always the limitations in their battery capacities to keep them powered up for as long as possible.

At the same time, there is the desire to multiply the usefulness of each device by enabling it to be connected to other devices and peripherals.

This is where the IT accessories that Belkin makes come in most useful – whether it’s for quick and safe charging of devices, or connection hubs to expand the connectivity of these devices.

And whether it’s for work from home/office, or for mobile warriors on the go.

We’ve all heard of horror stories about accessories which breakdown after a short period of use – or worse: how they can damage the devices they are connected to.

At tech4tea.com, our experience with Belkin has been that they simply work out of the box and last a lifetime.

Tuesday, December 6th, 2022

#tech4travel: When I’m on road or go on vacation, the most important laptop accessory I bring along is the Belkin Connect USB-C 7-in-1 Multiport Hub Adapter, which expands the limited connectivity options on the ultraportable laptop that I bring along.

The Belkin Connect USB-C 7-in-1 Multiport Hub Adapter is a must-have accessory for my ultraportable laptop when I’m on vacation and on the road.

The Belkin Connect USB-C 7-in-1 Multiport Hub Adapter is a must-have accessory for my ultraportable laptop when I’m on vacation and on the road.

For full connectivity on my Work From Home workspace, the centerpiece is my Belkin Connect USB-C 11-in-1 Multiport Dock, which provides full compatibility and connectivity for my laptop to other devices and peripherals, including those using legacy ports such as VGA ports.

When I go on vacation, or present at clients’ offices, I usually bring an ultraportable laptop which has a limited number of physical ports for the sake of compactness.

The Belkin Connect USB-C 7-in-1 Multiport Hub Adapter has an RRP of S$109 in Singapore.

#t4tWFH Review: Belkin Connect USB-C 11-in-1 Multiport Dock

Wednesday, November 30th, 2022

#t4tWorkFromHome: One of the most important accessories on my Work From Home setup is the Belkin Connect USB-C 11-in-1 Multiport Dock, because it turns my laptop into a well-connected workstation.

The Belkin Connect USB-C 11-in-1 Multiport Dock is the connection central for my Work-From-Home setup.

The Belkin Connect USB-C 11-in-1 Multiport Dock is the connection central for my Work-From-Home setup.

The Belkin Connect USB-C 11-in-1 Multiport Dock enables me to connect my laptop to a whole host of other devices and peripherals without having to worry about a shortage of ports on my laptop, especially when using an ultraportable laptop which usually suffers from a dearth of ports.

The Belkin Connect USB-C 11-in-1 Multiport Dock has an RRP of S$149 in Singapore.

The Belkin Connect USB-C 11-in-1 Multiport Dock has an RRP of S$149 in Singapore.

The 11-in-1 Multiport Dock also allows my laptop to connect to other devices when the laptop does not have the correct port (e.g HDMI or Ethernet ports) or the connected device still uses legacy ports (eg. VGA video port).

This can come in useful when going to a new presentation venue and you’re not sure what kind of devices (and connectors) the venue uses.

So on my workspace at home, my laptop is connected to an external monitor via the HDMI port on the 11-in-1 Multiport Dock.

My ultraportable doesn’t have an HDMI port so the dock is a godsend in hooking up my ultraportable to the 4K monitor.

The 11-in-1 Multiport Dock also has DisplayPort and VGA video ports as well.

For power, the Multiport Dock supports pass-through charging up to 100W.

tech4travel: The BoostCharge Pro 65W wall charger from Belkin is a compact yet powerful charger that is really useful when travellng.

I’ve been using this 65W GaN charger for a few weeks now and it’s really handy when I work outside of home or office.

At home and at the office, my mainstay charger is the Belkin BoostCharge Pro 4-Port 108W GaN Charger.

Once I hit the road, my charger of choice is the Belkin BoostCharge Pro 65W Dual USB-C GaN Wall Charger with PPS.

This is because of how compact and lightweight it is.

I normally just leave it in the bag and reach for it when I settle down in a cafe or at a meeting room.

The powerful 65W wall charger comes with two USB-C ports for charging two devices simultaneously.

The top port is able to charge a MacBook Pro at 65W when used alone.

When both ports are in use, the top port pumps out 45W while the bottom outputs a maximum of 20W.

Review: Belkin BoostCharge Pro 3-in-1 Wireless Charger with MagSafe 15W

Tuesday, September 20th, 2022

I asked an Apple fan what his favourite Apple accessory was, and he gave me this 3-min rundown of why he loves his BoostCharge 3-in-1 Wireless Charger from Belkin.

Belkin’s aesthetic BoostCharge Pro 3-in-1 15W Wireless Charger offers convenience and fast power with MagSafe technology.

Belkin’s aesthetic BoostCharge Pro 3-in-1 15W Wireless Charger offers convenience and fast power with MagSafe technology.

Dylan currently uses the BoostCharge 3-in-1 7.5W Wireless Charger for his iPhone, Apple Watch and AirPods Pro.

He is planning to buy the BoostCharge Pro 3-in-1 Wireless Charger with MagSafe 15W for his new Apple 14 Pro Max, Watch Series 8 and AirPods Pro.

The first and foremost benefit of the 3-in-1 Wireless Charger is that Dylan is able to charge three devices simultaneously with only one power outlet.

This is convenient both at home and in his office — especially at home since his other family members are also Apple fans with iPhones, Watches and AirPods to charge as well.

When he doesn’t have THREE available power outlets (or multiplugs), he’d usually have to charge only one device at a time and only move on to the next device when the previous one had completed charging.

Dylan loves how compact and tidy the wireless charger is – instead of three separate charging cables to three separate devices, there is only one cable from the power outlet to the 3-in-1 wireless charger.

And the upright charger for the iPhone doubles up as a phone stand so he can talk handsfree, FaceTime or record a voice memo while the phone is on the wireless charging stand.
