AnkerPowerExpand 11-in-1 USB C Hub Adapter, with 4K@60Hz HDMI and DP, 100W Power Delivery, USB-C and 3 USB-A Data ports, 1 Gbps Ethernet, 3.5mm Audio, microSD and SD Card Reader

Anker products always deliver. Good quality and does what it needs to. Not the cheapest but good value for money.

I think this is made of plastic, so it runs warm.I made the mistake of plugging the PD cable into the wrong socket, so my laptop failed to charge - but this hub worked perfectly running an hdmi monitor, a usb3 hub with cameras plugged in, usb2 Bluetooth and keyboard... all running from the laptop power - so these devices aren't dependent on the PD input. Naturally the laptop ran out of battery and I learned my lesson. Nothing broke, I just put the power into the correct socket and the pass-through charged the laptop as if it was plugged in directly.I've only had it 2 days, I hope if lasts, but so far so good. I only plug one cable into the laptop now, instead of four, much easier to come and go.

Pity about the stiff cable which gets wound up easily. Otherwise, a neat device where one can plug in a device for listening to CDs instead of using downloads.

The AH has 2 Female USB-C Ports + 1 Male USB-C Plug on a Short Lead.1. Plug the Short Lead into the PD USB-C Port, nearest to Left Hinge Corner, of the MacBook Pro M1.2. Plug the Power Supply USB-C Plug into the AH PD USB-C Port.3. This leaves 1 vacant USB-C Port on the MacBook and 1 vacant USB-C Port on the AH.4. A Large Screen can be attached by either HDMI or DisplayPort.5. Cards can be read by the dual slot Card Reader.In my case the vacant 2 vacant USB-C Ports are used for connecting 2 Crucial X8 2TB SSDs, one for Time Machine and the other for DATA BackUp.The 3 USB ports are usually connected to:- DVD Drive; Unifying Receiver-Logitech MX Ergo wireless Trackball; PowerBreathe/Lung Exerciser.Apart from one minor glitch everything, mentioned above, functions as expected without conflicts.My first attempt at expanding the MacBook Pro M1 Ports resulted in:A. Conflict between Logitech Trackball and the Crucial SSDs, the Cursor used to become jerky and ultimately freeze when the SSDs were connected via USB.B. MacBook M1 Screen Brightness Controls disappeared from System Preferences > Display > Display Tab and Control Centre. In the latter the Control Slider Handle disappeared, with the AH only the Control Centre problem remains.I am very pleased to have found this Port Expansion GEM, and do not hesitate to recommend it.

Having had massive problems with packet storms caused by other makes while the host sleeps, I turned to Anker - a brand I have always found to provide excellent products at the right price point. This hub, while not as neat-looking as some competitors, performs perfectly. It has the right balance of features and size, and is at a keen price point. I have no hesitation in recommending it.

Works with the Steam Deck and it fits somewhat alright in the back case. I'd recommend

Only use the usb so far so don’t know about the other ports .

Update: Dreadful bit of kit. Initially it seemed to work but it now refuses to push out anything through the HDMI. I have bought an HP G5 dock and that works fine with every device I have thrown at it. This thing? Nope. Complete waste of money - buy a used HP G5 instead. Worth the money.It works with my ASUS laptop so there's a plus. It adds ports nearly whilst not interfering with power supply. Port selection works for my applicationHowever, the built in cable is too short for my laptop. The usb-c port is mid way down the right side if my laptop - this is fine when it's a power supply cable. But when it's to this docking station, it clutters the space to the right of the laptop which you may be using for your mouse. Another 3 inches is all it needed.
