in the midst of winter, we get winter
For ten days, we will be cold, snowed on, warm a bit and get sleet.
Then we will start to warm.
The story til now.
I purchased a Vava 8 in 1 hub. Highly rated on line w/ reviewers.
Waited as you know and the hub arrives.
Step 1. plug the hub into the laptop ( type c connector ). Nope !
Connect the charger to the hub to laptop. Nope.
I'm getting ready to return the hub, label printed and Amazon notified.
At the pub, my tech guy shows. ' Hey, can you check this hub, for me '
No problem.
Plugs in a wonking big power adapter.
' you'll need about this much juice '
Of course, the hub lights and works.
Thus, $65 for the hub and $60 for the power adapter.
Plug and play doesn't mean plug and play. You need power to the hub and then plug and play.
All sorts of email had gone out to Vava, Dell ( laptop ) and Amazon.
Get home from the pub and think ' maybe the original power supply for the laptop could power just the hub '
Thus, plug in the power adapter to the hub - light goes on.
Plug the hub into the laptop and light stays on and all the USB ports have power.
Take a USB mouse and plug it in to the USB port, the mouse works.
But no charging can happen.
To-night an email comes from Vava < Did you need information >
Four bullet items are there for FYI for user.
' We recommend 18 W to power the hub and laptop '
Right, now you tell me.
Basically, you should buy a 18 W power adapter while purchasing the hub.
Crap and more crap !
