Look at the average desk and you'll usually find the same quiet mess: a hub for the monitor, a separate charger for the phone, a cable for the network, another for the drive. The PURPLELEC HBC098W was built to collapse all of that into a single palm-sized cube—and then it adds the one thing most docks forget.
Drop your phone on top. It charges.
The headline feature sits right on the dock's top surface: an integrated 15W Qi wireless charging pad. Set your phone or earbuds down when you sit at your desk, and they charge while you work—no extra pad, no extra cable, no hunting for an outlet. It's the kind of small convenience you stop noticing precisely because you never have to think about it again.
(One honest note worth knowing: the full 15W kicks in when the dock is running on its PD input with the host connected; on its own it falls back to about 5W. In normal desk use—plugged in, laptop attached—you get the fast pad.)
Small enough to travel with
At just 71 × 71 × 38.4 mm, the HBC098W is closer to a stack of coasters than a traditional desktop dock. The CNC-machined aluminum shell doubles as a passive heat sink, so it stays cool under sustained load while staying light enough to drop into a laptop bag. For anyone splitting time between an office, home, and the road, that's a full docking setup that travels instead of staying chained to one desk.
Fourteen connections from one Type-C cable
Behind that compact body is genuine reach. A single USB-C cable to your laptop brings the whole desk to life:
• 4K@60Hz HDMI (via DP Alt Mode 1.4, with HDCP for protected streaming)
• Up to 90W power delivery back to your laptop or phone from a 100W PD input
• 10Gbps USB 3.2 Gen2 ports for fast SSDs, plus 5Gbps and legacy USB-A for keyboards and dongles
• Gigabit Ethernet for stable calls and large transfers
• SD 3.0 + TF 3.0 dual-card reading at the same time—handy for photographers and creators
• Separate headphone and microphone jacks
If you've ever wondered where the line sits between a simple hub and a full dock, this is firmly the dock side—see hub vs. docking station for the distinction. The HBC098W charges your laptop, drives a 4K display, and runs wired networking all at once, which a typical bus-powered hub simply can't.
It just works, everywhere
No drivers to install. The HBC098W runs plug-and-play on macOS, Windows 7 through 11, Linux, and Android, and it's compatibility-tested across MacBook Pro, Surface Pro, and ASUS ZenBook. Plug in and go.
Built by a factory, not a reseller
The HBC098W comes out of PURPLELEC's ISO-managed plant in Bao'an, Shenzhen—18 years of 3C accessory manufacturing behind it. For distributors and brand owners, the whole platform is open to OEM/ODM: custom logo, packaging, color finish, port layout, cable length, and firmware-level tuning, with CE/FCC/RoHS/REACH and Qi (WPC) certification, flexible MOQ, and samples in 7–10 days.
