USB-C hub with USB-C/A, HDMI and Gigabitethernet connections for M1 Pro

[t0rqx]

Hi everyone,

Hope everyone is enjoying or going to enjoy their new M1 Pro/Max machines.

Are there any good recommendations for USB-C hubs for the new M1 Pro/Max machines that are equipped with USB-C and A variants and a Gigabit Ethernet port without any compatibility issues?

Looking forward to some good quality suggestions!

Thanks in advance!

If you have $279 USD laying around, try the Thunderbolt Dock from OWC. It is apparently now in stock and shipping. Previously, it was on backorder. It's a bit pricy, but has plenty of ports, to include TB4, ethernet, and USB-2/3. If you have an Apple Superdrive, you can even plug that into the adapter. I was considering this were I to have purchased an M1 MacBook Air/Pro, but I chose the 16" M1 Pro MacBook Pro instead. I have all the ports I need, as well as a USB hub. OWC devices tend to be a little bit overpriced, but from what I can tell, the quality of the devices themselves is very high. YMMV.

You can use Anker 8-in-one hub, for instance ($79 on Amazon): Anker USB C Hub, PowerExpand... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B087QZVQJX?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

Thanks. But indeed 200+ is way too much for something i just need on the go for shirt amount of times. I was looking into Anker devices but read there were lot of compatibility/network issues with the ethernet port part. And hubs in general with macbooks?

Yeah. Initially looking into Anker stuff, but read experiences about network issues with their chipsets if using their networkadapter part with their hubs. Any experience with Satechi products?
