Why It Fits Most People
Most USB-C hub buyers are not building a full desktop dock. They need HDMI for a monitor, USB-A for older accessories, and a charging pass-through. This Anker covers those needs in a compact body that makes sense for daily carry.
Missing Ports
The omissions are intentional but real. There is no Ethernet and no card reader. If you regularly import photos or need wired networking, step up to the larger Anker 8-in-1 instead.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Compact and easy to pack
- Useful HDMI plus USB-A mix
- Power delivery support

Bottom Line
Buy the Anker 5-in-1 if you want a small, dependable USB-C hub for the ports most laptop users reach for every week.
