Mijn Charleroi – een gids voor ontdekkingsreizigersDe eerste gids ooit gewijd aan de grootste stad van Walloni, vol inzichten en uitzichten, inclusief twee wandelingen. Ooit was Charleroi een bastion van steenkool, staal, glas en chemie. Een stad in de spits van technologie en vernieuwing. Een magneet voor talloze immigranten, onder wie tienduizenden Vlamingen. Vandaag zoekt de stad zelf een nieuwe toekomst. Toch geldt ze nog altijd als de meest lelijke stad ter wereld. Geen stad wordt meer verguisd.

De eerste gids ooit gewijd aan de grootste stad van Wallonië, vol inzichten en uitzichten, inclusief twee wandelingen. 

Ooit was Charleroi een bastion van steenkool, staal, glas en chemie. Een stad in de spits van technologie en vernieuwing. Een magneet voor talloze immigranten, onder wie tienduizenden Vlamingen. Vandaag zoekt de stad zelf een nieuwe toekomst. Toch geldt ze nog altijd als ‘de meest lelijke stad ter wereld’. Geen stad wordt meer verguisd. Onterecht, vindt Pascal Verbeken. Charleroi is niet minder mooi of interessant dan Venetië, Brugge of Amsterdam. Voor wie het wil zien.

Dit boek is een uitnodiging om deze mythische stad te leren kennen. Onze gids is Pascal Verbeken, journalist en non-fictieschrijver. Hij sleet al verscheidene schoenzolen in de straten van Charleroi, de stad die hij ziet als een schatkamer van histories, een bron van verwondering en een wijze leermeesteres. Charleroi was al een hoofdpersonage in enkele van zijn boeken en tv-documentaires, zoals Arm Wallonië en Grand Central Belge. 

In dit verhalende ontdekkingsboek deelt Verbeken zijn favoriete plekken en verhalen, van steenkoolbergen, kunstenaars, curiosa, fenomenen en dranklokalen, tot parken en herinneringen. Hij stippelde ook twee wandelingen uit langs de locaties die hij aan vrienden zou laten zien die de stad voor het eerst bezoeken.

well made, nicely built, fast and everything fits firmly
Color: Gray
Sleek and well made, heavier than my old one, as it seems better built in every way. I love the flush power buttons, they don't get accidentally pushed in because of the firmness of the buttons, not hard, just not overly easy like some cheaper hubs. The color is nice looking, the lights are subtle but easily identify each port and the main thing, it's fast. My old USB hub was decidedly slow and often under-powered. It did not always work with some demanding devices. But as soon as I plugged this in, all my devices were recognized and worked correctly. This was a great buy.

Had some questions and needed to test it, here's the verdict!
Color: Black
No pictures, but I wished to get this review out as soon as possible because I'm very happy with my purchase. My last USB hub from aother brand broke immediately as soon as I got it which is why I wanted to purchase this as an "upgrade" for the higher voltage and more port options. Firstly I really appreciate that they gave both a USB 3.0 to USB-C and a USB-C to USB-C cable for the power depending on what type of port you have on your computer. The extra cable is always appreciated. I had a bunch of questions stemming from other reviews so I tested them. When you press a button nearby any port, the light goes on. When you hold it, it goes off. When the light is on, it powered my external drive, and when I hold-pressed it off, the drive on my computer disappeared as it should when no power is going to it. I'm glad that works perfectly. Also, it takes 16 seconds to recognize my 8TB drive. It seems a tiny bit long, but not too long, I'm pretty patient. For the SD and Micro SD card slot, there is no on and off power buttons. But they DO work. This was important for me as it was one of the reasons I bought it. The quick charging also works as intended. Also, I wondered what size it was- it's 8.75in long, 2in width, and a measly 0.65in heightwise. Every cord included is slightly larger than 3ft so there should be no problems with connecting it, though maybe it's too many wires for some. One thing I was concerned about was that a reviewer said the ports were very tight, and they are. I thought I was gonna break the ports by connecting a USB, but thankfully it didn't break. I don't know how realiable that is over time, though I imagine because of the buttons, the idea is to connect them once and if you want to not use it, to simply press the button to turn them off. So I think I'll do that once I get all my USBs set into place. If it breaks any port in that process down the line, I'll update my review. And based on the manual, here are the speeds: USB 3.0 & USB C - Max 5GB/sec data speed, Max 5V/1.5A power SD and Micro SD Slots - Read 50-104MB/sec, Write 30-80MB/sec (Subject to memory card speed and computer USB ports) USB QC Ports - No speed or power given Total power supply: Output DC 12V/7.5A (Input AC 100V~240V / 50Hz~60Hz / 2A) The power supply is a big brick LOL. But I appreciate the power, thanks. It's very easy to use overall, I just plug something in, turn the light on, expect it to work and it does. Besides it taking great force to plug a USB in, everything else is exactly what I wanted. Glad I bought this. Edit, a month or two later: The USB ports all still are working, but I noticed some external drives don't have enough power to work, even with the 8V, so I'm docking a point. I should be able to plug at least one in with a few other things connected, but this makes it a little less functional for my usage.

Just what I needed
Color: Black
Never given!give 5 stars. But, this got it because exceeded what I was expecting. Purchased because new computer slots were inconvenient and more new devices are using usb ports and having powered ports was essential. Have used for several months and keep finding more things needing it. It was more than I expected/needed at the time .But, was designed for growth I was not expecting. Getting excellent connections, speed, and reliability even though I’ve nearly doubled the devices I planned on using. To be clear the system I connected to is all about performance and top of the line hardware. I was a performance engineer in a previous position and am very picky with this system setup. I’ve tested the hardware several times tuning things and it’s never the bottleneck. The original purchase was intended as a short term fix when I needed something yesterday and as stated b4 it has earned a place in my permanent setup. Would buy again and would explore other offerings by manufacture.

Very useful USB hub
Color: Black
Works as described. This thing has more inputs than most will ever need. I thought it would be big and bulky but it doesn't take up much space at all. It's super lightweight, except for the power supply but even then, it's not that heavy. I'm currently using some of the USB 3.2 ports and 1 of the USB charging ports with zero issues and now I'm able to plug more devices without fear of my PC struggling to communicate with them all. It's a little pricey compared to other USB hubs but I feel it's totally worth it.
