Overview

The LENTION 7in1 USB C Hub is a compact multiport adapter designed for laptops and tablets equipped with a single USB-C port. It combines HDMI output at up to 4K@60Hz, 100W USB PD pass-through charging, 5Gbps USB 3.0 data transfer, and SD/microSD card reading into one sleek package. It is especially useful for users of thin devices like MacBook (M1/M2/M3/M4), iPad Pro, Surface, and Chromebook, where port expansion is essential.
With seven ports in a portable form factor, this hub eliminates the need for multiple dongles. It is plug-and-play with no driver installation required, making it accessible for anyone.

Connectivity & Compatibility

  • Host connection: Works with any USB-C device supporting USB-C or Thunderbolt 3/4. Compatible with macOS, iOS/iPadOS, Windows, and ChromeOS.
  • Video output: HDMI port supports 4K@60Hz, offering smooth visuals for presentations, video editing, and casual gaming.
  • Data transfer: One USB 3.0 port (5Gbps) for high-speed storage or peripherals, plus two USB 2.0 ports for mice, keyboards, and other low-bandwidth devices. The USB 2.0 ports are isolated from USB 3.0 noise, ensuring stable 2.4GHz wireless connections.
  • Card reader: SD and microSD slots support SD, SDHC, SDXC, MicroSD, MicroSDHC, MicroSDXC, and TF cards. Transfer speeds up to 30MB/s are sufficient for importing photos and videos from cameras.
  • Power delivery: USB PD 3.0 compliant, supporting up to 100W input. The hub consumes about 10W, so a 30W or higher PD charger is recommended for simultaneous charging and operation.

Product Info

The LENTION 7in1 USB C Hub sits in the entry-to-mid-range USB hub market. Priced around ¥2,399, it offers excellent value with 4K@60Hz HDMI and 100W PD charging. It was released around 2022 and remains widely available. Warranty is typically one year (provided by the seller). The package includes the hub only; a USB-C power adapter must be purchased separately.
Primary purchase channels include online retailers and select electronics retailers.

Best Use Cases

  • MacBook users: Ideal for those who need to connect an external monitor, read SD cards, and use USB peripherals simultaneously from a single USB-C port. Creative professionals can quickly import camera footage without extra adapters.
  • Tablet power users: iPad Pro or Surface Pro owners who want a desktop-like setup. Connect an external display via HDMI, attach a keyboard and mouse via USB ports, and charge the tablet through the hub’s PD pass-through.
  • Mobile workers: Frequent travelers or remote workers who need to minimize gear. The compact hub fits easily in a laptop bag and consolidates charging, display, and data connections into one device.
    However, this hub may not suit everyone:
  • Users requiring dual external monitors (only one HDMI output).
  • Professionals needing fast SD card transfers (UHS-II or higher) – the hub’s card reader is limited to 30MB/s.
  • Heavy workloads with multiple high-speed USB devices simultaneously (only one USB 3.0 port).
