I enjoyed a large-screen game with an ultra-compact multifunctional dock compatible with Switch [Gadget Review]

A product called "POWERDock" has been released on crowdfunding "GREEN FUNDING".

　This is a multifunctional dock that can be connected to Nintendo Switch, smartphones, etc., and is equipped with USB-A, USB-C, and HDMI ports. The genuine Nintendo Switch dock doubles as a stand, but its shape makes it difficult to carry. But with POWERDock, you can also put it in your pants pocket.

　The ``POWERDock'' has arrived at the author's home and office.

Weight only 30g

When you open the box and see the "POWERDock", you will be amazed at its small size.

　With the exception of the cord part, the 30g body fits comfortably in the palm of your hand. It fits in your trouser pocket or shirt pocket. And "POWERDock" has built-in USB-A, USB-C, and HDMI ports as I wrote at the beginning. The premise is to reflect the image on the large screen while charging like a genuine dock.

　The case that holds the Nintendo Switch is just like a two-tiered lunch box. This should be partly because the dock occupies a large space, but if you introduce "POWERDock", a smaller storage case should be enough. The POWERDock is a must-have product when taking your Nintendo Switch on a trip.

Play games on the big screen!

　And "POWERDock" supports 4K output. Charge with USB-C while displaying video on your 4K TV at home. It's not a stand, so you can't say 'put the Nintendo Switch upright', but for those who don't care about that, it's a very convenient product.

Of course, I also tried "POWERDock". Connect "POWERDock" to Nintendo Switch that you just bought recently. Plug it into your TV and play Super Nintendo titles.

Born in 1984, the author belongs to the Super Nintendo generation. Since his father was a prison officer, the author lived in government housing when he was a child. It was common to invite children from the same building to my home to play Super Famicom. Rather than taking the Game Boy outside, it's more fun to invite friends over to play on the big-screen TV for co-op play.

Therefore, for me, a game is "something that displays images on a TV". I felt that "POWERDock", which makes it possible, is a product that I should pay attention to in the future.

Various uses depending on your ingenuity

　Of course, the connection destination is not limited to the TV. If you have an HDMI connection, you can also project images on the projector. There should be a way to enjoy using a small projector and "POWERDock" to display Nintendo Switch images on the screen.

　You can also connect the "POWERDock" to a PC, tablet, or smartphone that supports video output to increase the size of the screen. It is also a feature of "POWERDock" that you can find various uses depending on your ingenuity.
