I was looking for a new USB-c hub and came across this article. It’s an interesting write-up of what is on the inside of some popular options

A monitor with Ethernet? That sounds interesting.

Can you please give me the model name? Thanks!

It’s not Thunderbolt, “only” normal USB-C, but it works okay, especially considering the price.

Keep in mind that the daisy chaining feature is pretty useless with macOS, as, you guessed it, it uses MST (it has to in this case to be fair) which macOS doesn’t like.

You get 90 watts of power delivery, 4 USB ports and GbE.

Docking monitors are pretty common, must vendors should have them.

They are generally a bit shit, however - much like these docks
