Thank you! I had an Anker hub in the past, but had some trouble with the Ethernet dropping when using it heavily (ex. during a zoom meeting or when moving large files). I'm not sure if that was an Anker issue or just something with hubs in general. I'm still open to another Anker one, but I was looking for other options as well
We use UGREEN ones at work, and they seem to do the job well so far. 100W PD, HDMI and ethernet working well.
I have a small Ugreen I bought a few years ago and while I'm not using it anymore it did its job well while I needed it and afaik it still works well. Initially I got it for the detachable usb-c cable.
And I think it's authentically Chinese, doesn't pretend to be a German company or anything like that.
+1 for ugreen hubs. The one I bought last 2018 still works though it has a quirk when I plug it on my XPS 13, the USB mouse and mech keyboard stops responding periodically until I replug it. This happens after every first plug.
+1 for UGREEN. My workplace uses them for everything, I've used many of their products over the years and they work great.
My UGREEN came with a dead ethernet port, so they are also a hit and a miss.
Everyone can have duds, it's how they handle it. I've found their support to be good.
