I got this to replace another from a different manufacturer I had lost. Functions are great and it’s handy having the 2 charger USBC ports. It’s very robust- But this makes it pretty big and heavy compared to my old one. Also the picture implies the USBC plugs on the cable neatly tidy away by plugging into the top of the main body- they don’t do they flop around in your bag. Great for a workstation scenario less good for carrying around with you.
Can’t really use with an external display. Drastically changes colors which makes the product useless for photo editing. Got my hopes up.
I needed additional ports, but didn’t need a massive hub so this Anker hub seemed like a good fit. It absolutely is! Plugged it in, connected my devices and it’s been working perfectly. Have other Anker products and have been happy with all of them.
Connected: HDMI to one monitor / usb c to hdmi for another, usb c to SSD drive, USB to webcam…so far that’s it, but there are a few more ports to use.
an einem MacBook Pro M1 aus 2020 Muss fr die Tonausgabe im Kontrollcenter das Ausgabegert Realtek ausgewhlt werden. Einfach anschlieen funktioniert nicht. Und um zwei angeschlossenen iPhones/iPads im Finder anzeigen zu lassen muss der richtige Port ausgewhlt werden, sonst wird das iPad/iPhone nur geladen. Toller Austauschservice von Anker, aber diese beiden Dinge musste man selbst herausfinden. Stand nirgends
Ich schreibe ja selten eine Bewertung, aber hier muss mal gelobt werden. Mit einen Anschluss an das Macbook Pro habe ich einen schnellen Ladeanschluss, Monitor, 3D Drucker ber USB, LAN Internet ohne Probleme. Es funktioniert einfach nur genial und ist auch hochwertig verarbeitet. Weiter so Anker.
I already had a USB-C-HDMI connector, so it was easy to just connect one of the monitors to the USB-C, and my other to the HDMI port.
I now have my macbook as monitor 1, my 20 inch ASUS as monitor 2, and my other 20 inch ASUS as monitor 3. All separate and not mirrored.
The dongle is also charging with no problems.
I highly recommend to the Macbook users who wish to clean up their dongle situations. Be advised you will need to get a USB C-HDMI connector to make the setup work.
Otherwise; using two HDMI cables on the same dongle will only allow for mirroring.
But, I have only made it work with a MacBook Air.
You will need to upgrade your charger from 30w to the 67w charger and install DisplayLink, that’s it! It works like magic! I am using an HDMI and a USB-C monitor shown here. If you have 2 HDMI monitors, get an adaptor for USB-C to HDMI and it will work too.
I needed this due to needing the cat6 connection, this solved more of my needs than I thought it would.
It adds some extra ports, decent wired lan connectivity… Could use some more USB A and C Ports though.
Down side that dinged it a star. The rubberized band on the dual port connector is slightly thicker then it should be. This means when on a flat surface, it’s slightly lifting up a 2020 MBP putting extra stress on the USB C ports.
All around good product, just make sure if you have a case that it’ll fit without having to remove the case
Much better than cheaper models. I guess you get what you pay for. Very good.
I love the way it works perfectly with all my devices (external monitor; ethernet, remote hard drive, external keyboard). Despite occupying 2 USB-C ports it gives you those back and more. The operation of the devices attached are very dependable. I used this to replace a previous cheaper hub that was unreliable on ethernet connection. It would drop the connection when laptop went to sleep and would not resume it. This Anker USB C never has any problems like that. I like how neat it looks attached to the side of the laptop. Works perfectly and great value.
From design to speeds, all around excellent hub.

Sehr wertig verarbeitet und ansprechend im Aussehen.
Alle bentigten Anschlsse (9-in-2) sind vorhanden und konnten sofort genutzt werden.
Lediglich das “steife” Verbindungskabel zum USB-C Doppelanschluss am MacBook Air M1strte mich, da ich dadurch den Adapter nicht so platzieren konnte wie es gern gehabt htte.
Been using it since the day I got it. Very solid. It gets hot but nothing crazy. Can charge MacBook pro without issue.
Affordable compared to other multi-port hubs
Solid, hefty build
Cons:
Only 1 USB-C port
Too much power draw when not connected to power supply
I’ve been an Anker customer for a few years now. I like the quality of their products (materials, build and functionality). PowerExpand is one of those great Anker products that provide what I just need, with a few caveats.
I use the multi-use USB-C port to output 4K 60 Hz on an external monitor and it does that well. However, I wish there’s another USB-C port that functions as USB3, especially since Apple’s consumer products come with USB-C to Lightning these days. macOS also gives a warning that the hub is consuming too much power when it’s disconnected from a power supple. Some sort of battery or low power mode would have been nice to make this hub even more portable and more ideal for traveling.
