Best Tablet Docking Station (and Stand) Deal of Prime Day 2023
You already have a tablet, so why do you need a laptop? With the Plugable UDS-7IN1, you don’t.
Why we love it: This 8-in-1 docking station and stand elevates your tablet (and some phones) to a full-blown workstation. It even has support for an extended screen via the 4K HDMI port. Imagine that, an extra screen for your iPad.
In addition to the HDMI port with 4K resolution, this hub lets you power up with 100W pass-through charging (91W output), add a mouse and keyboard (or whatever you need) to the two USB 3.0 (5Gbps) ports, expand with a MicroSD and an SD card reader, and tune out with the audio jack.
Best of all, it folds flat so you can slip it into your bag and take it to go.

Best Laptop Power Adapter of Prime Day 2023
At first glance, the 140W USB-C GaN Power Adapter (PS-EPR-140C1) from Plugable might look like the charger that came with your laptop, but this one comes with a few advantages. For starters, it’s built on GaN technology so it’s 14% smaller than the Apple equivalent and it stays a little cooler to the touch, too.
Why we love it: The Plugable PS-EPR-140C1 is the future-proof charger. At 140W you’ll have more than enough power to charge most laptops on the market today. In 2023 expect to see a larger share of laptops hitting the market with increased power demands.
Use this adapter for any USB-C device for fast charging up to 140W. If your laptop, tablet, phone, or any other USB-C, requires less than 140W, the adapter intelligently adjusts to provide the optimal charge.
It’s no wonder we’re calling this the best replacement for your laptop charger.
