List the ports you use every day
For most desk setups, HDMI or DisplayPort, Gigabit Ethernet, two USB-A ports and USB-C power passthrough cover the essentials.
Check display limits
A hub advertising 4K output does not guarantee your laptop, operating system and port can drive every advertised combination. Check the laptop's USB-C/Thunderbolt capabilities first.
Power passthrough is not free power
A 100 W input does not necessarily mean the laptop receives the full 100 W because the hub consumes some power itself.
