The Dongle Problem — Solved for $30

Modern laptops have sacrificed port variety for thinness. The MacBook Pro has Thunderbolt/USB-C only. The Dell XPS has two USB-C and one USB-A. The result: everyone carries a bag of dongles. The Anker 341 solves this with a single hub that adds 7 ports — including 4K HDMI, SD/microSD card readers, and 100W Power Delivery — for $29.99. This is not a compromise solution. It’s a complete one.

7 Ports — What’s Actually in the Box

The port layout is practical rather than padded with redundant connections: 4K HDMI at 30Hz for an external monitor, 100W USB-C Power Delivery so you can charge your laptop through the hub, USB-C 5Gbps data for fast external drives, 2× USB-A 5Gbps for keyboards, mice, and drives, SD card slot, and microSD card slot. These seven ports cover 95% of everything you plug in daily.

100W Power Delivery — Charges Your Laptop Through the Hub

The USB-C PD port supports up to 100W passthrough charging. This means one cable from your laptop to the hub, and the hub handles both your peripherals and your laptop’s charging simultaneously. Your desk goes from a rats’ nest of cables to a single clean connection.

4K HDMI — External Monitor at Full Resolution

The HDMI port outputs 4K at 30Hz or 1080p at 60Hz. For productivity work, presentations, and document editing on an external display, 4K@30Hz is perfectly smooth. Note: it’s not ideal for high-framerate gaming (60Hz is the ceiling at 4K) — but for every other use case it delivers a crisp, full-resolution image.

Build Quality — Anker’s Signature Reliability

Anker has shipped over 200 million charging accessories and built a reputation for products that work reliably for years without failure. The 341 hub uses a USB-C cable that’s integrated into the hub (not removable), which eliminates connection failures. The aluminum and polycarbonate build is compact enough to slip into a laptop bag pocket.
