Laptop charging through the hub

90W

Enough to keep almost any laptop charging at full speed while you work, including 14-inch MacBook Pros.

About 900 MB/s in practice, full speed for most portable SSDs.

Display output

27-inch 5K

Smooth high-resolution output for a monitor or TV.

Total ports

A full desk’s worth of connections from one cable.

Why people pick it

  • 5K at 218 PPI, the same sharpness as Apple's Studio Display, with a fully adjustable stand
  • Thunderbolt 4 in and out plus 90W charging over one cable
  • Four downstream USB ports all at 10Gbps, including USB-A
  • KVM plus HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort inputs for a second computer

Know before you buy

  • 90W charging: fine for 13- and 14-inch laptops, slow for a 16-inch MacBook Pro or gaming laptop
  • No Ethernet port and no webcam
  • 60Hz refresh rate
  • How many chained displays a Mac can drive depends on its chip; macOS cannot split one stream with MST
