Always high quality from Anker
I have been using this for my M2 MacBook Pro 14 and my wife’s M1 MacBook Air. An external monitor, wired network connection and USB connections for mice, printers, scanners, etc all work great. The multiple monitor output issue is not a deal breaker for us as I don’t use multiple monitors outside of work.

Simple USB dock works very well.
This dock replaced a USB dock from my laptopâs manufacturer that intermittently turned one or both monitors off for no apparent reason. This replacement dock has been rock solid for the week that I have had it installed. Please note that it has two HDMI ports and no DisplayPort connections.

Stopped working properly after less than a year of owning
Update: Anker offered a replacement or refund for the product. I’ve had many Anker products and this is the first to experience issues like this. Will likely replace it with the same or similar docking station from Anker.
It worked really well initially. Generally running 2 monitors off of my laptop for work. It recently started flickering one of the monitor screens every 10 or 20 minutes which wasn’t a huge deal. It now has issues supporting 2 screens and has really weird behavior that sometimes requires troubleshooting to get it going again. Expected it to work longer than it has

Great inexpensive docket that works for my needs
Just started a new job. New work laptop. New employer did not provide a docketing station like my last employer to WFH. Already had 2 monitors Needed a docket station to connect to my new work laptop. Did not want to spend a whole lot as I was only going to be WFH for 2 days a week. Ordered a more expensive docket station that did not work. Monitors never connected to my laptop via that docket station when I hooked everything up the night before my WFH day. Needed a new one in a pinch otherwise I was going to have to go into the office. Ordered this one as it was overnight delivery to be delivered between 4-8am. Hooked everything up at 6am in the morning and everything worked, my monitors were connected to my laptop. Couple of things to note. This docket station does not come with a usb cable to connect to a power source, you need to provide that. This did not charge my work laptop when I was using it. I brought my work laptop charger home and was able to hook it up to charge while I was working. I just wish the USB-C cable that connects the docket to the laptop was a little longer as it does get a little warm, it did not overheat at the end of my workday, I am hoping it does not overheat. I may get another docket station in the future if it comes up for sale but for now, this works for my needs

Anker Does It Again â Perfect for Dual Monitor Workstations!
This Anker docking station is a must-have for my dual monitor setup! Iâve trusted Anker for years (owning multiple products from them), and they never disappointâeverything is consistently high quality.
I snagged this at a discount, and it was an absolute steal. The variety of ports is fantastic, making it easy to connect all my devices seamlessly. Itâs the perfect solution for my Latitude laptop and work-from-home setup, keeping everything running smoothly and efficiently.
Excellent value for the priceâif youâre looking for a reliable docking station, this is the one to get!

Underwhelming but a new purpose!
EDIT: This hub found a new life as a great Steam Deck dock at a much cheaper price point than competing OEM and third party hardware. Didnât work out as a laptop dock for me but checks off all the boxes for the Steam Deck. Move it to 4 stars from my original review.
A few things to know up front; this dock cannot be used for a single 5120×1440 monitor and the pass through wattage is insufficient to charge a modern laptop. Iâm happy I can use the USB-A ports to connect a powered speaker and camera, but thatâs it. Very expensive for this use case.

The Anker 553 USB-C Hub has been an absolute game-changer for me. As someone who relies heavily on a variety of peripherals and external displays, this 8-in-1 USB C dock is perfect for my needs.
First off, the dual 4K HDMI ports are incredible. I can effortlessly connect two 4K monitors, which has significantly boosted my productivity and made multitasking a breeze. The video quality is crystal clear, and there’s no lag or interference.
The additional ports are just as impressive. The USB-C to USB adapter allows me to connect all my essential devices like my keyboard, mouse, and external hard drives without any issues. The transfer speeds are fast and reliable, which is crucial for my work.
The 1 Gbps Ethernet port is another fantastic feature. It provides a stable and fast internet connection, which is a huge upgrade from relying on Wi-Fi. This has been especially beneficial for video calls and large file uploads.
What really stands out is the hub’s build quality and design. It’s compact and sleek, making it easy to carry around with my laptop. The materials feel premium and durable, which gives me confidence in its longevity.
In summary, the Anker 553 USB-C Hub is perfect for anyone needing a reliable, high-performance docking solution. It has made my workflow more efficient and streamlined, and I couldn’t be happier with its performance. Highly recommended!

This is my replacement hub for the Lention that stopped working after 18 months. I had rated that product 5 Star and it was truly great product till one day it decided not to deliver power from the PD port to laptop. Without power supply passing through, it was useless and I scrapped it. Then started my search for a new hub – the biggest challenge though how to identify one that combines good build quality and functionality with longevity. So, I decided to go with known non-chinese brands and Anker came top on the list. So far, the hub is working like a charm, just like Lention. I am hoping that this will last for at least 3 years to justify the price premium. One small gripe is that the USC C cable attached to the hub is too short (15 Cms, I guess). I keep my laptop in a vertical position with lid closed on a stand and work on the monitor. The USB C port on my laptop is on the upper end of the laptop and when I connect the hub, the hub keeps dangling awkwardly. Had to go with 0.5 M extension cable! I will update this review if this fails in less than 3 years!

Gutes Produkt, die Ports funktionieren zuverlässig. Auf den USB-Ports nutze ich Maus und Tastatur und auf dem HDMI-Port hängt ein Full HD 60 Hz Monitor. Ich habe bereits einen 60 Hz Test durchgeführt und keine Verzögerung bemerkt. Auch kein Flackern am Bildschirm oder Ausfälle festgestellt. Der Lan-Port hält ebenfalls was er verspricht. Ich habe damit eine Lan-Bridge zwischen 2 Geräten hergestellt und habe einen Ping von 0.15-0.19ms.
Tolles Produkt, ist den Preis Wert.
