The Ugreen USB-A to USB-C Adapter retails on Lazada for S$7.49. It is a USB-A 3.0 male to USB-C 3.1 female adapter that supports QC3 charging (3A) and a maximum transfer rate of 5Gbps.
I bought it to convert a USB-C to USB-C cable to a USB-A to USB-C Cable.
We have sold out first home and are renovating our new home. Since our new home is an HDB Resale Flat, we have to lay Cat 6 LAN cables around the house. To test whether those cables were working, I decided to get a Cable Tester.
There are many brands of cable testers that are available on Lazada and Shopee. But I ended up buying the UNI-T Cable Tester (UT681C) since I have bought UNI-T products before.
Apple Lightning to 3.5mm Audio Cable has only one length which is 1.2m and is available in two colors, Black and White. It retails for S$49. For some reason, Amazon.sg is selling the black one for only S$40. So I decided to get that.
I have an existing Lighting to 3.5mm audio cable, which is the Belkin 3.5mm Audio Cable With Lightning Connector. But it doesn’t work with my AirPods Max.
The official retail price of the Apple Watch Magnetic Fast Charger to USB-C Cable is S$45 and on Apple’s Employee Purchase Plan (EPP) it retails for S$40.66.
But you can get it at S$37 at Apple Authorised Resellers on Lazada, Shopee, and Amazon.sg. That is what I tried to do, except that it is out of stock on all the above mention platforms.
Ugreen HDMI 2.1 Switch is a single direction HDMI switch that takes in two inputs and gives you one output.
The standalone unit of Ugreen HDMI 2.1 Switch retails for S$29.99 on Lazada. Standalone, meaning it doesn’t come with any HDMI cables.
I have various HDMI cables from multiple gadgets, and I don’t even know what HDMI version they support. So I decided to standardize and future-proof all my HDMI cables at home to make them more uniform.
I opted for HDMI 2.1 because it supports all the latest standards, 8K@60 resolution, 48 Gbps bandwidth, HDR 10+, Dolby Vision, Enhanced Audio Return Channel (eARC), etc.
After my company changed my MacBook Pro to the new 16″ M1 Pro MacBook Pro, I can no longer use my Razer Core X Chroma since Apple M1 chips don’t support eGPU. Besides using my Razer Core X Chroma as my eGPU, I also use it as a 4-port USB-A Hub.
So I needed a 4-port USB-C to USB-A Hub. My usual first place to search is Ugreen shop on Lazada. I use their cables, chargers, and USB-C hubs, and their peripherals haven’t disappointed me yet.
There are two variants of the Plugable DisplayLink 4K DisplayPort and HDMI Dual Monitor Adapter. One with 1Gbps Ethernet Port (USBC-6950UE) and one without (USBC-6950U).
My guess is the one without an Ethernet port should be cheaper, but sadly I can’t find it on Amazon.sg. I only found the one with an Ethernet port on Amazon.sg retailing for S$139. After a 5% discount voucher, I got it for S$132.05.
I was looking around USB-C to HDMI Cable to replace my spoiled Choetech USB-C to HDMI Cable.
After doing some searches on Lazada, I chanced upon the Sumlett USB-C to HDMI Cable selling for less than S$10 and the reviews are good too.
I think Keychron K7‘s battery life is bad. Using it for about 8 hours a day, it could not even last through a 5-day work week on a single charge.
I disabled the auto-sleep mode because, for some reason, when the keyboard wakes up from sleep, it refuses to connect back to my MacBook Pro via Bluetooth.
