FAQ
Will any hub fit any USB-C laptop?
Physically maybe; features depend on the port.
Why is HDMI blank?
Port may lack DisplayPort alt-mode — check laptop specs.
Do I need Thunderbolt branding?
Only for high-bandwidth docks/displays that require it.
Buy the ports you use weekly, verify video/charging support for your exact laptop, and avoid no-name hubs that overheat. Compatibility beats port count bragging.
