You need one cable to your laptop and every screen, drive, and card slot you actually use. The MBEAT Elite 7-in-1 does that with USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 speed on the data side and an HDMI 2.1 port that pushes 8K/30Hz or 4K/120Hz.
Two USB-A ports and one USB-C port all transfer at 10Gbps, so you're not bottlenecked when moving large project files between drives. The 100W PD pass-through keeps your laptop topped up while everything else runs. SD 3.0 and MicroSD 3.0 slots handle camera offloads without a separate reader.
It's 47g, the size of a matchbox, and sits flat under your keyboard. Works with Windows 7 through 11 and macOS 10.12 and later. Your laptop's USB-C port needs DisplayPort Alt Mode for video output. Note: MacBook M1 (2020) supports one external display only
