Anker USB C Hub, PowerExpand 11-in-1 Docking Station, with 4K@60Hz HDMI and DP, 100W Power Delivery, USB-C and 3 USB-A Data Ports, 1 Gbps Ethernet, 3.5mm Audio, microSD and SD Card Reader

The AH has 2 Female USB-C Ports + 1 Male USB-C Plug on a Short Lead. 1. Plug the Short Lead into the PD USB-C Port, nearest to Left Hinge Corner, of the MacBook Pro M1. 2. Plug the Power Supply USB-C Plug into the AH PD USB-C Port. 3. This leaves 1 vacant USB-C Port on the MacBook and 1 vacant USB-C Port on the AH. 4. A Large Screen can be attached by either HDMI or DisplayPort. 5. Cards can be read by the dual slot Card Reader. In my case the vacant 2 vacant USB-C Ports are used for connecting 2 Crucial X8 2TB SSDs, one for Time Machine and the other for DATA BackUp. The 3 USB ports are usually connected to:- DVD Drive; Unifying Receiver-Logitech MX Ergo wireless Trackball; PowerBreathe/Lung Exerciser. Apart from one minor glitch everything, mentioned above, functions as expected without conflicts. My first attempt at expanding the MacBook Pro M1 Ports resulted in: A. Conflict between Logitech Trackball and the Crucial SSDs, the Cursor used to become jerky and ultimately freeze when the SSDs were connected via USB. B. MacBook M1 Screen Brightness Controls disappeared from System Preferences > Display > Display Tab and Control Centre. In the latter the Control Slider Handle disappeared, with the AH only the Control Centre problem remains. I am very pleased to have found this Port Expansion GEM, and do not hesitate to recommend it.

I think this is made of plastic, so it runs warm. I made the mistake of plugging the PD cable into the wrong socket, so my laptop failed to charge - but this hub worked perfectly running an hdmi monitor, a usb3 hub with cameras plugged in, usb2 Bluetooth and keyboard... all running from the laptop power - so these devices aren't dependent on the PD input. Naturally the laptop ran out of battery and I learned my lesson. Nothing broke, I just put the power into the correct socket and the pass-through charged the laptop as if it was plugged in directly. I've only had it 2 days, I hope if lasts, but so far so good. I only plug one cable into the laptop now, instead of four, much easier to come and go.

Bought this for the steam deck and it works great, but refuses to work on 2 other laptops which work fine with another dock. Price is a bit steep for the number of ports, but Anker isn’t the new kid it once was and is starting to define prices rather than undercut competitors.

Having had massive problems with packet storms caused by other makes while the host sleeps, I turned to Anker - a brand I have always found to provide excellent products at the right price point. This hub, while not as neat-looking as some competitors, performs perfectly. It has the right balance of features and size, and is at a keen price point. I have no hesitation in recommending it.

Anker products always deliver. Good quality and does what it needs to. Not the cheapest but good value for money.

It would have had three stars, but it also completely failed two months after the end of its support window, so I now regard it as a moderately expensive dud compared to my still-working Dockteck and my quite-new UGreen dock. It’s a bit frustrating to use with a Mac, with issues that don’t happen with my other docks. Semi-regularly the Mac would treat it like a new device and reset to default (very low) resolution on the monitor connected to it via HDMI. This might not happen for a month, but it would then happen every time the Mac went in and out of standby, for a week or more, then the problem would disappear again. Another issue is with the audio jack. It would work when speakers were first plugged in, but after going into standby they would only be detected if you disconnected and reconnected the USB - a simple fix but mildly annoying.

Great little deck - replaced an off-brand knock-off that stopped working after 3 months. Didn't see the need to go full CalDigit at x3-5 the price of this Anker as a replacement. One caveat - you can use either the DP **or** the HDMI port on an (intel) mac, but not both at the same time. No idea if it's the same on apple silicon, but i would assume so given the general Thunderbolt multi-display limitations.

This USC Hub was perfect for me. It worked straight out of the box. I have plugged my headphones, microphone and camera into the hub, and they all run smoothly. So, just what I needed for recording my podcast programme!!

I have been using it for a few months, connected to surface pro, and it works fine.

Its a great USB-C hub. But very expensive!!

Hdmi port keeps flickering the monitor.

I got 60 fps to my TV from it from a surface pro studio laptop. I didnt get HDR to work but I had so much trouble getting 60 fps, that HDR is just a future possiblilty, though i do miss having it on films, but im using this for projector 4K TV as a laptop pc monitor now i have a keyboard and mouse on the hub. I bought the simple usbC to HDMI from MICROSOFT that cost 99$ and only got 30 FPS, advertised HDR 60 fps. its useless . (i assumed they tested it with their own product, which is a high end 2500 laptop with 2 usb ports. My mechanical keyboard didnt work at first it was recognized as a sound device. triied every driver, no luck So i bought a Samsung high speed changing usbC to big usb, just one last thing to try. And it worked!!!! be CAREFUL with this stuff.. dont ASSUME ANYTYHING IS gonna work. try different cables and the best wires too. for a PC you need at leat 60 fps . For mouse u no more lag thant 40 ms or Game mode or it will stutter unusably. This hub gets hot though. but it works and its fast and got great value for cost and good reviews on youtube as well. Im giving 5 stars because HDR is a mess and i cant expect everything to work, it might be microsoft laptotp partial support for it.
