Acer 7-in-1 USB Type-C Hub Multi-Port Adapter
Overview
The aluminium shell doubles as a heat spreader, which matters when all ports run hard. Plug-and-play across Windows, Mac and tablets - the same hub serves the office desk and the travel bag.
The class limitation is honest: HDMI tops out at 4K 30Hz, perfect for work displays and presentations, not for high-refresh gaming. For everyone whose laptop lost its ports to thinness, this is the Rs 2,161 apology.

Buying Advice
Product Description
Port starvation is the modern laptop's design philosophy, and the hub market is its underground economy - mostly filled with no-name adapters that overheat and die. The Acer 7-in-1 competes by bringing brand accountability to generic pricing.
- 7 ports, one connection - 4K HDMI, three USB-A (keyboards, drives, printers), full-size SD and microSD (the photographer's pair), all through a single USB-C plug.
- 100W Power Delivery passthrough - the laptop's charger plugs into the hub; the hub charges the laptop while all other ports run. The feature that makes hub setups permanent desk fixtures.
- Aluminium shell as heatsink - sustained transfers warm every hub; metal construction sheds the heat that kills plastic competitors.
- Cross-platform plug-and-play - Windows laptops, MacBooks, iPads and Android tablets with USB-C all recognise it instantly.
The honest ceiling: HDMI output tops at 4K 30Hz on this hardware class - flawless for work monitors, presentations and media; insufficient for 4K 60Hz gaming. Heavy simultaneous loads (all ports maxed) may throttle slightly. Both are normal for this price band.
Practical pairing: this hub plus an external monitor recreates the desktop experience for any modern laptop - the core of the dual-screen WFH recommendation. Priced at Rs 2,161 with a 4.3-star listing, it is the accessory every thin laptop secretly requires.
