The HiDock H1 is an interesting hybrid of two types of device that are both useful and all the more so when combined into a single unit. Sporting a retro design, the dock element consists of 11 ports and a power supply which can send a total of 118W – up to 100W PD to a notebook and 18W to a phone or iPad over USB-C.

The port selection consists of 2.5Gbps Ethernet, two USB-A at 5Gbps and a USB-C at 10Gbps, dual HDMI 2 ports at up to 4K 60Hz for extended desktops and that 100W USB-C upstream port to your Mac as well as mains power in from the external power brick.
