Have been looking for a usb c hub/dock for my Dell Latitude 7410 at home. I have narrowed it down to below 2 hubs for now, Please let me know your thoughts on them or if there is anything better out there which won't break my wallet. Hoping to buy during Aliexpress sale starting today if it is something like below.
My requirement
* Connect 1 2k monitor via HDMI. Preferably support 4k60hz for future, currently I don't have 4k monitor.
* 1G Lan (RJ45)
* Atleast 65w pd
* 1 or 2 usb ports
- UGREEN USB C HUB 4K 60Hz Type C to HDMI 2.0 RJ45 USB 3.0 PD 100W
- CABLETIME 7 in 1 Slim USB HUB Type C to 4K HDMI RJ45 1000Mbps PD 100W
Another thing I am also looking at is hdmi splitter as I have a home server which mostly I connect via RDP/remote login but it's good to have a monitor connected in case I need to connect directly. Question, is it a good idea to connect the hdmi splitter to any of the above usb c hub and my desktop pc to easily switch between the systems? I understand I can't see both at once and don't need that anyway. Not into gaming but do watch movies on laptop once in a while.
Any thoughts on below hdmi splitters or any better out there?
Would have preferred Amazon AU, but they seems expensive than Aliexpress.
Thanks.
It looks like those hubs in your post are both pass through PD, not integrated. You'd still need a power supply.
For reference I have a similar setup in my home office. Works for both our Mac and Windows computers.
Locally available so price isn't the sharpest.

I also fitted a USB-C extension cable to I could have the dock sitting at the back of the desk out of the way and to prevent the USB-C on the laptop from taking the weight of the hub hanging off it.
Hope this helps!
