A compact docking station is a must-have when traveling with modern tablets or computers that now often provide a minimal set of on-board connectors.

Know the power rating of your gadgets.

There seem to be a few hundred different hubs like this one on the market, but they can differ essentially by their power rating, size, and price. 

The USB C Power Delivery takes up to 87W which is enough for most compact computers, like Lenovo Yoga (typically ~65W). It is however not suitable for a Dell Precision (more like 130W). 

So, as long as you keep this particular factor in mind, there will be no bad surprise.
