[7 x 4.5 x 1"] Laptops and its limited USB ports when every peripheral needs one was a problem until I found this 10 port extension... Beyond useful...

[2x Side] this is my second one ,first one is a 2016 .they work awesome .

[AC Input] The 2ME panel is fantastic. I've been switching off laptops for over 10 years and the difference of using the panel is night and day. While the panel doesn't really add any functionality over the laptops, the interface allows you to use multiple fingers on both hands at the same time resulting in a much more dynamic show. The macro layout is great.

[0.22 lb] I tried this adapter on two Windows 10 laptops. Windows did not find and install a driver automatically on either one, but I came to this site, downloaded the driver package, and was in business on both machines in a few minutes.

[32 GB] I believe Acer is one of the best values in laptops. But with value comes some compromises. For this purchase, I was just looking at raw specifications and wanted top-of-the-line or near-top for a 16 gaming laptop. (I was fine with a 13th gen Intel CPU b/c there really isn't any meaningful improvement to the 14th gen, so buying a laptop that has been out for a year is an even better way to save money). This laptop has fantastic performance - I use it to game and for video/audio editing via Premiere. I can run any game I care to play at max settings. The screen is surprisingly vibrant, even though it's not the mini-led. Be aware that battery life for this laptop (and most upper-end gaming laptops in general) is pretty atrocious (2, MAYBE 3 hours under light usage). If you plan to do anything processor/GPU intensive on battery alone..., it's not going to happen. This laptop is happiest being plugged in and acting as a desktop replacement more than a true laptop that you're going to carry around all the time. I love it because I can take it with me when I travel and have an awesome machine with a small(er) footprint. This laptop isn't the most quiet (the fans can get pretty raucous), it isn't the best-looking, and doesn't have the best thermals, but it is, in my opinion, a great buy at a very reasonable price if you understand what these types of machines are like.

[Bandpass] It is perfect for modern 14inch laptops (e.g. Lenovo X1 carbon). Top quality, very light, I take it with me everywhere. I certainly recommend it.

Easy to set up and provides a great place to store laptops underneath and printer on top. Has helped organize my desk.
