Hello everyone, 

 

I plan to buy a MacBook (please don’t judge the brand, I just prefer macOS for everything except gaming) and I am therefore looking for a USB-c Dongle/hub. I want at least one type A port, as well as one HDMI port. Ethernet and USB-c Pass through are a plus, but not needed.

 

My problem is that I am not able to find a dongle that supports 4K (or even 1440p) they all support max 30Hz, or 1080@60.

Is it a limitation of USB 3.1 gen 1? or just cheap brands?

 

And I know the thunderbolt 3 docks supports everything I want and more, but they all cost about 300€ and/or require external power
