'ZDNET Recommends': What exactly does it mean?
ZDNET's recommendations are based on many hours of testing, research, and comparison shopping. We gather data from the best available sources, including vendor and retailer listings as well as other relevant and independent reviews sites. And we pore over customer reviews to find out what matters to real people who already own and use the products and services we’re assessing.
When you click through from our site to a retailer and buy a product or service, we may earn affiliate commissions. This helps support our work, but does not affect what we cover or how, and it does not affect the price you pay. Neither ZDNET nor the author are compensated for these independent reviews. Indeed, we follow strict guidelines that ensure our editorial content is never influenced by advertisers.
ZDNET's editorial team writes on behalf of you, our reader. Our goal is to deliver the most accurate information and the most knowledgeable advice possible in order to help you make smarter buying decisions on tech gear and a wide array of products and services. Our editors thoroughly review and fact-check every article to ensure that our content meets the highest standards. If we have made an error or published misleading information, we will correct or clarify the article. If you see inaccuracies in our content, please report the mistake via this form.

Summer is finally here, so it's time to gear up for travel. But as packed as your itinerary might be, you might find a few hours here and there to get your daily gaming fix in. The Nintendo Switch offers a brilliant mix of power and portability when you're on the go. But the docking station? Not so much. You can remedy this with this lightweight multi-port docking station from UGR Tech, and it's available for just $19.99.
This 3-in-1 device has a compact and lightweight design for superb portability to match your Switch. And, as the name implies, it has three ports that you may find useful. The HDMI port allows you to hook up to TVs, computers, and mobile devices that support 4K resolution. That means you can play games at a higher definition than the Switch itself. Of course, you can also connect to projectors, monitors, and any other device with an HDMI connection.
The dock also sports a USB 3.0 port, so you can connect flash drives, smartphones, mice, and even keyboards. You'll also find a charging port with 100W of power delivery, allowing you to charge the Switch and connected devices quickly. Finally, the 3-in-1 docking adapter features a Type-C connection, which you could plug into MacBooks, Chromebooks, and, of course, your Nintendo Switch.
No gamer vacation is complete without a Switch on hand, but Nintendo's proprietary dock can make your travels less than comfortable. Alternatively, this ultra-portable device offers ports to meet your gaming needs simultaneously. You can purchase the 3-in-1 Nintendo Switch Docking Station for only $19.99, down from $24.
