it was unexpected usb-c port is not for data transfer. it is power only. should have been mentioned in the description.

The crux lies in the detail - see the manufacturer's page.
"To use the charging function via USB-C, the device must support USB Power Delivery (USB PD) or Thunderbolt 3/4.
To use the monitor function via HDMI™, the device must support DisplayPort-Alternate-Mode or Thunderbolt-3/4"
My ASUS 16X purchased in early 2024 apparently has neither.

Works great, not only for Mac, but also for HP. The USB-C distances of the Hama USB-C Hub fit both notebooks.

This review was created for a different variant: USB-C hub (USB-C, 12 Ports)
It seems to do everything as advertised
Does not take up a lot of space. Allows docking to Monitor, Keyboard, speaker phone, etc with just one cable

I bought this to create a docking station for my work laptop. But it plugs into my only USB-C port and the USB-C port included in it doesn't work with my headphone link dongle. So now I have to plug that into the USB-C port and this hub is useless to me.

Predecessor with 3 ports was not enough.

1. the USB-C output on the source device must support the video signal and ...
2. the monitor must also support the corresponding protocols

The USB C port is only to power the PC, no other function. I was expecting to be able to use the USB C port as a normal USB C port.

I had to plug the monitor directly into the laptop

This could also be a problem with my Dell Linux laptop, but after the laptop was connected in sleep mode, it usually does not recognise plugged in USB, you have to unplug the dock or USB stick and plug it in again.

This very reasonably priced device does what it has to do: provide many connections for the Macbook. Very reasonably priced compared to other USB-C hubs. But somewhat clunky design. But if that doesn't matter, then unreserved recommendation.

Good, especially for the price.
Extension recommended.

does what it should, flawlessly
Having a USB-c to USB adaptor would have been useful. Not all devices (eg monitors) will work if connected through this hub, so I had to use the hub with a USB adaptor and keep my monitor plugged in to my Yoga laptop's usb-c port.

I bought the USB-C hub to be able to connect my phone to the screen (HDMI) while I charge it so that the battery doesn't drain quickly (mobile has the feeling via USB that it needs to charge the monitor).
Works with an Android Samsung Tab A6 and a Huawei P20 Pro without any problems.

A very good offer at the current daily price.
The workmanship is not cheap and all connected devices are recognised.
HDMI signal transmission also works smoothly.
I have always had good experiences with HAMA in general.
The only point of criticism is the cable, which is far too short and forces you to place the hub somewhat "unnaturally" at best.

Compatible with an IPad. (I have the IPad pro)
