What did you end up buying? Any regrets?

I got something from cable matters but think it is faulty and cuts out on PD at times. I am looking for a replacement.



I recently bought one for my ThinkPad.

I'd suggest to avoid anything DisplayLink at all costs, it's laggy on Windows and the Linux driver support is pretty bad (Ubuntu only, doesn't support the latest version, not open source).

I just use another USB-C to DisplayPort cable even though it should be unnecessary.

I ended up buying a monitor with PD/TB3 rather than a hub as my setup was using a pretty janky old monitor.

The two "hubs" that supported all the stuff that I wanted were effectively docking stations:

- https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07VL675DT

I also bought one of these (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/hypershop/hyperjuice-wo...), but waiting on delivery. It's not a hub, however.


We have so many 2015/13inch henge docks I'm trying to get rid of.


I've found CalDigit and Plugable to both be very good in general.
