Overview
The Anker 547 USB-C Hub (7-in-2) is a compact expansion solution specifically designed for MacBook users. It turns a single USB-C/Thunderbolt 4 port into seven useful ports: one Thunderbolt 4 multi-function port (up to 100W PD, 40Gbps data, 5K@60Hz display), one USB-C data port, two USB-A ports, HDMI (4K@60Hz), SD and microSD card slots. The hub sits flush against the MacBook's side and doesn't block the MagSafe connector. It's an ideal companion for M1 and M2 MacBook Air and Pro models, though those chips limit external displays to just one.
Connectivity & Compatibility
The hub connects via a fixed USB-C cable; the host device needs USB-C with at least USB 3.2 Gen 2 or better for full performance. The Thunderbolt 4 port supports 40Gbps data, 5K display, and 100W power delivery input (the hub itself passes power through to the laptop). The HDMI port handles 4K@60Hz. The USB-A ports are likely USB 3.2 Gen 1 (5Gbps). For M1/M2 MacBooks, only one external display is supported, so you can't drive both the Thunderbolt 4 and HDMI outputs simultaneously. Intel MacBooks and Thunderbolt 4 Windows laptops can drive two displays. SD and microSD slots support common card formats (UHS-I). This hub is not compatible with MacBook Neo models.
Product Info
Released around late 2022, this hub sits in the mid-to-high tier of USB-C hubs due to Thunderbolt 4 support. Typical street price is around ¥8,900 in Japan. The package includes the hub, a welcome guide, and an 18-month warranty with Anker customer support. Purchase options include the Anker official store, , and major electronics retailers in Japan.
Best Use Cases
MacBook owners who need high-speed data and charging on the go: The all-in-one design keeps your desk tidy; you can plug in a 4K monitor, charge at 100W, and read SD cards from a camera. Perfect for coffee shop professionals. Not ideal if you require dual external monitors on an M1/M2 MacBook. Content creators who rely on SD cards and external storage: The SD/microSD slots eliminate the need for a separate card reader. Combined with the USB-C data port and USB-A ports, you can attach a fast external SSD, a mouse, and a keyboard simultaneously. The 40Gbps Thunderbolt 4 port is great for transferring large video files. Windows laptop users with Thunderbolt 4 wanting versatility: This hub works with Dell XPS, ThinkPad, and other Thunderbolt 4 laptops, providing similar expansion. However, if you need DisplayPort output, you'll need an adapter. Also, the hub's design is optimized for MacBook thickness, so it may not sit flush on thicker Windows laptops. Not recommended for: users who need more than two USB-A ports, or those who require dual video outputs on a modern MacBook. For those use cases, consider a larger dock with more ports and DisplayPort alternate mode support.
