In the early days, a simple robot vacuum could only vacuum the floor with limited effectiveness, and required the user to manually empty the dust compartment and clean the vacuum robot frequently.

Nowadays, with robot vacuums like the S7 MaxV Ultra from Roborock, home-owners can delegate the floor cleaning of their homes completely to their robot vacuums, with minimum fuss and human intervention.

#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.
