USB C Hub with 4K HDMI Output and Quad USB 3.0 Ports - Compact 4K

In this review the LENTION USB C hub (CB-C35sH) is judged as a compact, practical docking option for users who need extra USB ports and a reliable 4K video output. The single biggest reason to consider this hub is its combination of a true 4K@60Hz HDMI output with four USB 3.0 ports and pass-through charging, which makes it useful for MacBook and other Type C users who want a simple, all-in-one dongle without a bulky dock.

Key Features

• Quad USB 3.0 Ports: Four full-size USB 3.0 ports let you run a wired keyboard, mouse, flash drives and a bus-powered hard drive simultaneously with up to 5Gbps transfer speed.
• Raw UHD 4K@60Hz HDMI: The HDMI port supports native 3840x2160 at 60Hz for a smooth external display connection to HDTVs, monitors or projectors.
• Downward Compatible Video: The HDMI output is also compatible with higher refresh lower resolutions such as 2K@144Hz and 1080P@240Hz for gaming or high refresh monitors.
• Integrated Charging: The USB-C power delivery pass-through can deliver up to 60W to charge a laptop while powering attached USB accessories.
• Wide Compatibility: Works broadly with recent MacBook Pro and Air models, iPad Pro/Air, Steam Deck and many Type C devices for a plug-and-play experience.
• Stable Driver 3.0 Standard: LENTION claims a stability-focused driver standard to reduce interference, ensure sufficient power and avoid overheating during use.

Who It's For

The hub is best for mobile professionals and students who use a recent MacBook Pro or MacBook Air, iPad Pro or similar Type C laptop and need extra USB ports plus a true 4K external display connection without a larger dock. Its compact size suits a laptop bag and quick desk setups where space and portability matter.

Those who should look elsewhere include users who require more than 60W pass-through for fast charging very large laptops, or anyone needing specialized ports not listed here (for example SD card slots or Ethernet). Also, users of older pre-Type C MacBooks are not supported.
