Modern laptops have few ports. We tested 7 USB-C hubs for reliability, charging passthrough, and 4K output under daily remote-work loads.

The best laptop is useless if you can't connect it to your monitor, mouse, and Ethernet cable at the same time.

We tested seven hubs over 3 months of daily laptop docking, focusing on reliability, 4K output, charging passthrough, and heat.
