Why this gift works

The Anker 555 USB-C Hub (8-in-1, model A8383) adds an HDMI 2.0 port at up to 4K@60Hz, Gigabit Ethernet, two USB-A and one USB-C data ports at up to 10Gbps, SD and microSD readers, and a Power Delivery input that passes up to 85W through to the laptop. It measures 4.76 x 2.17 x 0.6 inches and weighs 4.5 oz, per Anker.

A developer on a USB-C laptop plugs in one cable and gets the external monitor, a wired connection for big pulls and deploys, and charging.

Who is this gift for?

Great for

  • Laptop developers
  • Hot desks and travel
  • Anyone short on ports

Think twice if

  • They need two monitors
  • Their laptop draws over 85W

The catch

It drives only one external display; the extra USB-C port is data only; it passes through at most 85W, so power-hungry laptops charge slower; and the charger is not included.

Skip if they run two external monitors from one laptop, or already have a dock.

Worth knowing before you buy

  • A dual-HDMI version is a different listing.
  • It cannot pass-through charge phones or tablets.

Why we like it

  • 4K@60Hz HDMI
  • Gigabit Ethernet
  • 85W pass-through
  • Pocket-size

What to look for in a USB-C hub

  • Display. Check refresh rate and how many monitors it drives.
  • Charging. Pass-through wattage should suit the laptop.
  • Ethernet. Wired networking helps on flaky Wi-Fi.
