A look at the Anker PowerExpand 8-in-1 USB-C 3.1 Gen2 hub. I'm using this on a MacBook Pro M1 but this hub will work happily with any Mac or Windows PC.
• Check Price on Amazon - geni.us/anker8in1
I reviewed an Anker powered dock a few months back but I realised soon after starting to use the dock that I also need something more portable. I like the form and function of the Anker products so I decided to look at this one.
UPDATE: Following a few comments, I have also now done some testing with the hub connected to power to see if I could bring the speed closer to 10gbps. youtu.be/c3kmEo77sYI
