    Hub / Docking Station Suggestions

    Hi As a WfHer these days, I now have two Benq USB-C (with DisplayPorts, too) monitors hooked up to my 2018 MBP.

    USB-C Hub gets very hot on MacBook Pro 2020

    I just got the new MacBook Pro 2020 (4-ports version) and with that, the Dodocool 8-in-2 USB-C hub. I am seeing that the hub heats up very quickly and after an hour or so, it feels really hot. I am worried that it may damage my MacBook. Any thoughts? Thanks!
