O iPad it has never been closer to being used like a traditional computer than it is now. If before the user had to settle for the Apple tablet screen to do his tasks, with the arrival of iPadOS 16it became possible to connect the device (as long as it has the M1 or M2 chip) to an external monitor to increase your desktop — just as if it were a Mac itself.
This resource is even more interesting when we use the iPad with supports that transform it into a kind of “iMac mini”, like UDS-7IN1yes Plugable. The newly released accessory not only does that, it also brings a series of extra ports for your tablet or smartphone with a USB-C input.
Made entirely of aluminum, the stand/dock is very compact and can be folded to fit in a suitcase, for example. According to the manufacturer, the accessory is stable, resistant and can handle from a smartphone to a 12.9-inch iPad Pro at several different angles.
On the left side of the UDS-7IN1, you can find two ports USB-A 3.0 of 5Gbps and an output 3.5mm P2 for headphones. On the other side, we have a card reader. SDanother for cards microSD and a door USB-C — which is used to connect the device to the accessory. Behind we have a door HDMI and other USB-C de 100W.
Also according to Plugable, despite having been made with the iPad in mind, the UDS-7IN1 is also compatible with Macs, computers that run Windows and devices Android. In this way, the accessory can also serve as a simple dock.
The UDS-7IN1 is now available for purchase on Amazon US for US$70. The accessory is only sold in silver color.
