Anker A83800A1 PowerExpand 8-in-1 USB-C Hub

Anker PowerExpand 8-in-1 USB-C Hub (A83800A1) combines dual HDMI, USB, Ethernet, card-reader and pass-through charging connections in a compact hub. It is suited to a USB-C laptop setup, but display behaviour depends on the host device and Mac laptops mirror the HDMI displays rather than extending them independently.

At a glance

Two HDMI outputs are claimed to support up to 4K at 30Hz on two displays, or 4K at 60Hz on one screen.
Includes Ethernet, two USB-A ports, one USB-C port and SD and microSD card slots, alongside dual HDMI.
Pass-through charging is rated up to 85W, but requires a 100W PD charger and USB-C cable, neither of which is included.
The hub requires a host USB-C port with DP Alt Mode for video output.

Pros and cons

Pros

Combines display, network, USB and card-reader connections in an eight-port hub.
The dual HDMI outputs offer a two-display option on compatible hosts, with a stated 4K at 60Hz single-screen mode.
The supplied customer feedback describes the hub as compact, easy to use and convenient for travel.

Cons

Mac laptops do not support MST with this hub, so HDMI-connected monitors mirror the same image instead of showing separate extended desktops.

What to know before buying

Listing details to confirm

Listing details are inconsistent: the title claims 1 Gbps Ethernet and SD card reading, while the detailed interface field says Ethernet, HDMI, MicroSD and USB 3.0 without an Ethernet speed or full SD-slot specification. Display output also depends on the host's DisplayPort version, and the two-screen 4K claim does not establish the same mode across all devices. Check host compatibility and required resolution before buying. A 100W PD charger and USB-C cable are required for the claimed 85W pass-through charging.

Who is it for?

A good fit for

USB-C laptop users who want HDMI displays, Ethernet, USB ports and card-reader access through one hub.
Travellers seeking a compact hub for common laptop connections.
People using a compatible Windows or ChromeOS device and willing to check its display capabilities.

Less suited to

Mac users who need two independent extended HDMI displays.
Buyers needing a charger included or guaranteed laptop charging performance.
Users whose host device lacks USB-C DP Alt Mode and needs video through this hub.

Customer feedback highlights a compact, well-built hub that is often described as easy to use and useful for everyday port expansion, with reports of successful two-monitor connections. Charging and compatibility experiences are mixed, so the 85W pass-through specification should not be treated as a guarantee that every laptop will charge properly. This matters most if the hub is expected to power a laptop as well as connect displays and peripherals.

Positive themes

Customers describe it as compact, easy to use and convenient to carry.
Feedback mentions useful port selection and successful connections to two large monitors.

Mixed feedback

Charging feedback is mixed, with some customers reporting successful laptop charging and others saying their laptops do not charge properly.
Compatibility feedback is mixed. Confirm the host's USB-C video support and display requirements.
