Barbara Krasnoff, the reviews editor for The Verge, has shifted from writing and editing to overseeing projects and encouraging staff to write. She discovered the Dell mobile adapter at a trade event, impressed by its innovative design featuring a retractable USB-C cable. The device accommodates a variety of ports, making it practical for users with thinner laptops that have fewer connection options. While primarily satisfied with its functionality, there are suggestions for improvement, including the addition of a microSD card slot and alternative color options.
My first laptops had lots of ports, but as the computers got thinner, the ports began to disappear. Eventually, most of the laptops I used only had one or two USB-C ports for anything I wanted to physically connect to my device.
This little adapter lets me use a variety of different connectors, including some that belong to my older devices.
The model I have, the DA300, comes with an ethernet port, a USB-C and USB-A port, an HDMI port, a VGA port, and a DisplayPort.
I also think the whole spin-the-disk-and-the-cable-disappears thing is a lot of fun.
