What to know before buying

Listing details to confirm

The listing gives inconsistent compatibility information: its operating-system details include Linux, while the manufacturer description says Linux is not compatible. It also mixes a 12 × 30 × 120 mm dimension listing with a separate 120 × 30 × 11.6 mm specification, and labels the USB-A ports as 5Gbps USB 3.0 in one place but provides a separate details field of 480 Megabits Per Second without clarifying which port that rate describes. Confirm host support for DisplayPort Alt Mode and Power Delivery, especially for the intended laptop. Customer feedback also reports mixed MacBook compatibility and charging experiences, so confirm the laptop and charger requirements before relying on it.

Who is it for?

A good fit for

Laptop users who need HDMI and extra USB-A ports from a USB-C connection.
Setups using one fast USB-A connection for a drive and two slower ports for peripherals.
Users who want laptop pass-through charging and already have a compatible wall charger.

Less suited to

Users who need 4K HDMI above 30Hz.
Those seeking several high-speed USB-A ports or USB-C data connections.
Buyers who need a hub that works without checking host USB-C video and charging support.

Customer feedback highlights compact size, build quality, available ports and out-of-box operation as strengths, with some customers also describing it as good value. Compatibility and charging reports are mixed, including reports of successful MacBook Air use alongside reports of MacBook incompatibility and insufficient power for some laptops. These concerns matter because the hub's video and charging functions depend on host-port support and an external charger, and its pass-through claim is up to 90W rather than unlimited laptop power.

Positive themes

Customers describe the hub as compact and well built, and appreciate its port availability and ease of use.
Some customers report good value and successful use with MacBook Air.

Mixed feedback

Compatibility feedback is mixed, with reports of successful MacBook Air use as well as reports that the hub did not work with some MacBooks.
Charging feedback is mixed, including reports that the USB-C charging connection did not provide enough power for some laptops.

Frequently asked questions

How many USB-A ports does this hub have?

It has three USB-A ports: one listed as USB 3.0 at 5Gbps and two USB 2.0 ports at 480Mbps.

What is the maximum HDMI refresh rate?

The manufacturer claims 4K output at 30Hz, with mirror and extend modes.

Will it work with any USB-C laptop?

Not necessarily. The listing says the host USB-C port must support DisplayPort Alt Mode and Power Delivery. Its operating-system details also conflict on Linux compatibility.
