We test 18 USB-C hubs with a range of current model laptops:
- Apple MacBook (early 2017)
- Apple MacBook Pro 13 (early 2017)
- Asus ZenBook 3
- Dell XPS 13 9365 2-in-1
- HP Envy 13-ad038TU
- Toshiba Portege X30
We assess these functions (where available): power (charging), USB data transfer, USB-C data transfer, HDMI, VGA, DisplayPort, Ethernet, SD card and microSD card. We weighted the scores as not all hubs support the same functions.
Our review will help you find the products that:
- connect successfully with the most devices
- work with Macs and Windows
- can charge your laptop at the same time.
Our interactive comparison tool helps you find the USB-C hubs that offer support for gigabit Ethernet, 4K video, HDMI, VGA, USB 3.0 and SD card storage. Our Recommended list will help you see quickly which USB-C hubs come out on top.
