USB C Docking station

[Donut417]

Im looking to replace my USB C hub with something better ish. Currently my MacBook Pro is connected to my monitor via USB C which power, video and gives me 2 USB ports. My second monitor is connected via a USB C hub. The issue is I would like to add Ethernet to my MacBook when sitting at my desk. Ive found this docking station: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BN7D4NG9/?coliid=I3TK9BKJZ0LJD5&colid=53JU0YTIUJRH&psc=0&ref_=list_c_wl_lv_ov_lig_dp_it . I own a USB hub from this company and it has been rock solid. Was wondering if anyone has any options of it? 

 

Im specifically looking for HDMI, Ethernet and maybe a few USB ports. Will likely use the Dock between my MacBook Pro (currently an Intel Model) and my Steam Deck. I originally was going to go with a Thunderbolt dock for a one cable solution, but they are expensive. Plus at some point I want to upgrade my MacBook, but seeing how Apple is going to grace me with MacOS 26, I'll likely be using this machine for a bit longer. Plus Im between upgrading to a MacBook Air or a Mac mini + iPad. Thats a discussion for another time like some time late next year after Ive paid off my student loans.

Probably much more expensive than what you're looking for but I picked up a Dell U22.

It has it's own power supply, HDMI, ethernet, USB display out, 4 USB C 3.2 (1 powered), 2 thunderbolt, and a 2 USB A (powered ports) , for around $180 US.

Im looking for something under $50 USD preferably.

Are you looking for something with power delivery? If not, something like this hub from Plugable might work: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1726920-REG/plugable_usbc_7in1e_usb_c_7_in_1_multiport_hub.html or this from OWC: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1626291-REG/owc_owctcdk6p2sg_usb_c_travel_dock_hdmi.html. This one is slightly out of your price range but has more features: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1861242-REG/plugable_usbc_9in1e_9_in_1_usb_c_hub.html

 

If you *do* want power delivery, your budget is going to have to go higher. This one from Plugable is $64:  https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1776805-REG/plugable_ud_ca1a_plugable_usb_c_docking_charging.html And this one from Kensington is $86: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1391918-REG/kensington_k38240na_sd4700p_universal_usb_c_and.html

No, my main monitor supplies power. I'll have al look at the Pluggable dock. As its as a price point I can do. Thanks.
