Windows Central Verdict

This isn’t a cheap charging hub, but its capabilities are undeniable.

This review was made possible with a review sample provided by Baseus.

One hub to charge all your devices, including both these 14-inch gaming laptops at once.

Especially now that many phones and tablets don’t even come with chargers.

It’s a luxury worth paying for, and Baseus is delivering quality and reliability for that price.

This charging hub is compact and efficient, and is capable of charging all your devices even your laptops.

Is it fast and efficient?

Does it stay cool?

Baseus' 240W charging hub excels in all of these categories.

If you want 240W charging, you could only do so through the DC port.

It’s all around a fantastic product, but there are some changes I would make if I could.

For one, the Baseus mobile app just isn’t useful.

Fortunately, it’s not needed to use the charging hub, and you won’t be missing much.

The one thing that people may want a long-term power consumption graph isn’t here.

This chart can feel overwhelming and confusing at first, but after a few days you get a feel for the logic here.

Overall, just avoid the app and save yourself the headache.

I also wish the included USB jot down-C cable was longer.

It’s barely 3ft long, which limits your charging reach significantly.

Not sure why I need a mobile app just for my charging hub.

A few watts should never make much of a difference in actual day-to-day charging, though.

This desktop charger lets you keep every juiced upandhelps you monitor how quickly it’s happening.

It’s massively overkill for just a smartphone and a tablet.

Even charging all three of these devices at once, I can still plug in my phone or tablet.

What more do you need from your all-in-one charging hub?

Well, maybe longer cables… And you definitely don’t need a half-baked mobile app.

It’s impressive, and earns this charging hub a permanent home on my desk.

Have a lot of electronic devices that it’s crucial that you charge quickly and efficiently?

It’s not cheap, but it’s a solid value for what you’re getting.
