First, let's recognize that we're not talking about "$13 docks". This is SlickDeals. You can search Amazon by yourself at any time and find a $13 dock that claims these capabilities and take a chance. These are marketed as $79.99 - $99.99 docks that are on clearance. Even assuming that the MSRP is greatly inflated, we're still ultimately evaluating a product that would normally be priced much higher than $13, but has been reduced in price and, commensurately, might represent a serious value to the discerning shopper.
Under that model, the reviews are extremely troubling. How could a hub market itself in this price range (again, between 80 and 100!) and not support USB 3.0? Similarly, why is the cord so short? It's all about anchoring. The product has tried to anchor itself as a premium buy, but it's actually not--it's not performing in line with its MSRP, so the reduced price of $13 *does not* represent a huge value opportunity. It's actually just a price correction due to its poor performance.
Finally, *given* these issues, I would be very hesitant to use it for USB PD. It's quite possible to so badly engineer these devices so that they damage compliant devices, and based on the other shortcomings, I lack confidence that this hub is built-to-spec.
Put another way: a random $13 hub isn't necessarily a deal. There are risks involved in any purchase. Those risks are supposed to be mitigated by a higher MSRP, because it implies higher quality materials, warranty, QC, etc. But if the reviews contradict that assumption, then we're back at a random $13 hub proposition, and not a crazy good discount on a premium product.
Not worth the hassle, headache, and frustration with crappy products no matter how much of a "discount" there is.
The regular price of these is very inflated compared to better rated items on Amazon.
There's a reason why these are discounted. It's future E-trash.

The only good review for it doesn't give much confidence either, reviewer wrote "seems good" LOL.
Do you all even read the reviews or just look at the number of stars before forming an opinion?
BTW, all 3 hubs share the exact same 10 reviews...something you should have noticed if you actually read any of them
And if it doesn't work...I'll just return it.

As a tip, you need a Thunderbolt dock to do that, not USB-C. They're usually more expensive and will advertise themselves as Thunderbolt 3 (or 4). If the dock says it's Thunderbolt and you see it has two display inputs, chances are high it will let you do dual monitor on OSX with a single cable
LOL...mountains out of molehills.
edit: I guess you meant the DP1.4 protocol, not the port, lol.

Well it is on clearance. Thankfully Newegg is honest and I purchased with a CC card so if does not work and / or causes any kind of philosophical problems then I'll just return the $13 dock. Just don't know what I'll do with that much cashflow tied up during the returns process...may have to get a 4th mortgage on my house so I can pay my light bill while the monies are being returned. Can you spot me a $20 if that does happen?
LOL...mountains out of molehills.
No logic involved...thanks for confirming.
