Port & Charging Guide
Most returned dongles fail on one of these five details. Two minutes here saves a trip back to the post office.
The oval USB-C plug can carry anything from 480 Mbps USB 2.0 to 40 Gbps USB4. Two identical-looking ports can differ by 80x in bandwidth, so read the spec line, not the shape.
Thunderbolt 4 guarantees 40 Gbps, support for two 4K displays (or one 8K), PCIe tunnelling for fast external SSDs and laptop charging on at least one host port.
Budget hubs often use HDMI 1.4, which tops out at 4K 30 Hz: the cursor visibly stutters. HDMI 2.0 drives 4K at a smooth 60 Hz, and it is what we look for on any hub sold for 4K monitors.
USB PD negotiates voltage between charger and laptop, up to 100 W on standard cables and 240 W with PD 3.1 EPR. Pass-through hubs keep 10–15 W for themselves, so a 100 W input leaves about 85 W for the laptop.
Gallium-nitride transistors switch faster and waste less heat than silicon, so a 65 W GaN charger is roughly the size of an old phone charger and runs cooler under sustained load.
