Direct answer

Short answer: For a compact MacBook Air travel hub, start with the Anker 332 USB-C Hub (5-in-1) with 4K HDMI — catalog lists 4K@30Hz HDMI, 5 Gbps USB-C/A data, and up to 85W PD pass-through. If you need smoother external display motion and higher PD headroom, compare the UGREEN Revodok USB-C Hub with catalog 4K@60Hz video, 10 Gbps ports, and 100W PD pass-through.

Pass-through only works when you also plug in a capable USB-C charger; leftover wattage to the laptop depends on hub draw and the charger. YEShop does not invent exact remaining-watt formulas — check Amazon and Apple’s watt guidance for your Air model.

FAQ

Is 85W pass-through enough for MacBook Air?

Many Air models charge well below 85W, but simultaneous display + peripherals reduce leftover power. Confirm your Air’s adapter wattage and the live Amazon PD notes.

Anker 4K30 vs UGREEN 4K60 — which matters?

4K60 looks smoother for motion; 4K30 is fine for static docs/spreadsheets. Match the hub claim to your monitor’s refresh capability.

Do I still need a charger?

Yes — pass-through needs a USB-C PD charger plugged into the hub.

Are port counts identical?

No — read each Amazon page for exact HDMI/USB-C/USB-A layouts; catalog summaries differ beyond HDMI and PD watts.

Will this replace a full dock?

These are travel hubs, not full Thunderbolt docks. Heavy multi-display setups may need a different class of dock.

Prices?

See Amazon. No invented prices on YEShop.
