A USB-C hub that supports 4K video, 100 W charging, and three full-speed USB-A ports is now available at a price point that challenges the idea of high-end accessories. The device, aimed at users who need to expand their laptop’s capabilities without carrying extra cables or bulk, combines multiple functions into a single, slim profile for under $12.
This hub stands out by offering 4K HDMI output through a micro-HDMI port, allowing it to drive external monitors or projectors at the highest resolution. It also includes three USB-A ports—two with 5 V / 3 A each and one with 5 V / 2 A—alongside a 100 W power delivery input for rapid charging of compatible laptops. A 3.5 mm audio jack ensures that headphones or speakers remain functional when using the hub.

The hub is designed to work with laptops and other devices that support USB-C Power Delivery and DisplayPort Alt Mode, meaning it can deliver both power and video signals simultaneously. It does not include built-in storage or network ports, keeping its focus on connectivity and power extension.
For users who frequently switch between single-display setups and multi-monitor workspaces, this hub provides a way to add external displays and charge a laptop at the same time without needing separate cables for each function. The price—$12—makes it an attractive option compared to similar products that often cost significantly more.
While the hub does not include built-in storage or Ethernet, its compact size and low cost make it ideal for users who prioritize portability and affordability over additional features. It confirms a trend of offering high-performance connectivity in small, budget-friendly packages, though some may find limitations if they require more than just display output and power.
