The Novoo 6-in-1 USB-C Hub measures 11.6 x 3 cm and just over 1 cm thick. In stick format, it will easily find its place in a carrying bag with the laptop. The cable is nearly 7.5 inches in length and offers enough flexibility to orient it as needed.
The Novoo’s shell is metal with a finish similar to Apple’s MacBooks, although the grain is coarser. Only the ends fitted into this metal frame are made of plastic.
All of the connections are located on one side of the hub, except for the HDMI port enthroned at one end with the USB-C cable on the opposite side. There are therefore three full-size USB ports to the USB 3.0 standard and an SD and microSD card reader.
The three USB ports are USB 3.0 standard (5 Gb/s) and can theoretically reach 600 MB/s. For the card reader, Novoo is very concise regarding the performance it delivers, so it will be a surprise during the performance test… The HDMI port is standard 1.4, which allows it to reach the 4K definition of 3840 x 2160 pixels, but only at 30 Hz. If this is enough to occasionally watch a film for office use , these 30 Hz are far too low to benefit from comfortable fluidity. No problem in Full HD: the refresh rate of 60 Hz is well maintained.
The Novoo 6-in-1 Hub does not heat up excessively with just over 33°C recorded on its entire metal shell which evenly distributes heat.
