What is the difference between the 5-in-1 and 7-in-1 versions?

The 5-in-1 uses a short integrated cable with a single USB-C connector. The 7-in-1 is a rectangular block with two fixed USB-C plugs that both go into the MacBook.

Will it work with my MacBook?

It is listed for MacBook Air 13 and 15 inch 2018-2020 and MacBook Pro 13, 15 and 16 inch 2016-2020. The 7-in-1 needs two USB-C ports close together, so check your model before choosing it.

Can I run a 4K monitor at 60Hz?

No. The HDMI port outputs 4K at 30Hz, so a 60Hz 4K display will run at 30Hz through this hub.

Does it charge the laptop while in use?

Yes. The Thunderbolt 3 port passes up to 100W of power through, so you can keep the MacBook charger connected while using the other ports.

How fast is the USB-C data port?

It transfers at up to 480Mbps, which is fine for a mouse or keyboard but slow for external drives. Use the USB 3.0 ports at 5Gbps for storage.

What comes in the box?

The hub itself in the 5-in-1 or 7-in-1 configuration you choose. No separate cable is needed because the connector is built in.
