This came up in another conversation. Just want to share some of my thoughts on dealing with USB-C docks / dongles. I think since COVID a lot of folks are doing these docked laptop setups for work at home. I've had three different devices I've worked with that have type-C. I've seen some very mixed results so far. Devices: GPD P2 MAX (9" Ultrabook) One Netbook A1 (8" Netbook) HP x360 15" #1 Cable Matters Dual Monitor USB C Dock (USB C Docking Station) for MacBook Pro with Dual 4K HDMI and 80W Laptop Charging (USB-C and Thunderbolt 3 Port Compatible) https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B07MKPP1W4/ I currently own two of these, worked reliably under linux with the P2 MAX. Which is why I got a second one for my partner Trent and his HP 2-in-1 convertible laptop. The latter had all sort of driver issues under windows. Those stabilized after finding the drivers from the manufacturer, but the Ethernet only works for a while, then disappears. It does not work with the One Netbook A1, going into a power negotiation loop. (*) #2 UGREEN USB C Hub 8 in 1 Type C Dock Station Multiport Adapter to 4K HDMI, Gigabit Ethernet, SD TF Card Reader, 3 USB 3.0 Ports https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B07BFWHPBG This little guy has worked flawlessly on every machine I've thrown at it. Not built to handle really high current charging that the HP machine can demand, but great for out an about. Is currently serving desktop duty with the A1. #3 J&D 5 in 1 USB C Hub, Portable 5 Ports Aluminum Type C Hub with Power Delivery PD Type C Charging Port, 4K HDMI Port, RJ45 1000Mbps Ethernet Port, USB 3.0 USB 2.0 Port Adapter Gray https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B07V1M2JXQ I filed a complaint against this listing, as it's only a 100Mbps Ethernet, not 1Gbps. It's never been corrected. Works mostly well enough and was used for desktop duty with the P2 Max before the Cablematters dock came into the picture. Would need to be power cycled ever once in a blue moon. Would not recommend. #4 CalDigit USB-C Gen2 10Gb/s SOHO Dock - Up to 4K 60Hz, HDMI 2.0b, HDR, DisplayPort 1.4, 10Gb/s USB A & USB C, UHS-II microSD and SD Card Readers, Bus Power and Passthrough Charging Support https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B08FF3BDW5 This one is on my buy-next List. It's built to support the higher bandwidth USB spec, so you not fighting with the 4K-30Hhz limitations of all the above for HDMI. Based on this quick impressions video from LTT. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N2r10vOzxh4 --- *: My Spare Cable Matters Dock is for sale, on a try before you buy basis.
