Anker 563 USB-C Hub (10-in-1, Dual 4K HDMI), Docking Station Dual Monitor, with Max 100W Pd-in, 5Gbps USB Data Ports for Windows Laptops, Dell XPS, Thinkpad, MacBook Pro, MacBook Air and More

We recently switched from a PC docking station setup to Mac. We researched many Mac compatible docking stations on Amazon and most of them were either relatively expensive (well over $100) or they didn't function like you would expect (no ability for extended monitors with Macs). Finally, we stumbled upon this affordable Anker 563 USB-C Hub that had all the functions we needed. We have a MacBook Air, 13-inch, M4, 2025, running Sequoia 15.7.4. After reading the instructions for the hub, we installed MacOS InstantView. Plugged the USB-C cord into the Mac and everything worked without doing anything else. 2 monitors were connected using HDMI with Extended View. One USB-A slot was used for a wireless keyboard and mouse. The other USB-A slot was used for a microphone and headset. We weren't sure if the USB-C cord would also charge the MacBook, but we were pleasantly surprised to see charging was working! We have a ton of Anker chargers and cables and have always been impressed by their quality. Happy to say this hub has been great as well.

The USB-C power port stopped working after 3 1/2 months. 04/03/2025: Amending review: EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE. The supplier reached out to me and sent a replacement free of charge. THANK YOU!!!

Before using this, I was required to install "MacOS InstantView," and it provided a terrible experience. The mouse movement was suddenly jerky, and the text/details became fuzzy. I have gone back to the dongle I was using before. I wanted a reliable solution for additional USB ports and extra monitors, and this device was unusable with my late 2024 M4 Max MacBook Pro.

This docking station solved my issue for my Macbook. I tried a couple other options but this was the only one that worked. I have not experienced any issues since setting this up a few months ago.

great hub. works great to allow a keyboard, mouse, display to all connect to the laptop. BUT, the power that is going to the hub doesn't support power to the laptop. It's ok with me, I just plug the laptop USB-pd power to the laptop, and the hub to the laptop usb-c. I have separate power supplying the hub.

Pros: - The power-in is a USB-C cord, so you can use your laptops power supply instead of the big bulky custom ones that come with other hubs. In my case, I used my MacBook charger, which is nicer and could get a longer USB-C cord to get this to the wall. - The Upstream Port (connect to laptop), is also a USB-C port, so you can use a longer USB-C cable. Other hubs have the upstream port connected to the hub (and they are short). But with a longer cable and this slim design, I can hide the hub behind my monitor. Cons: - Only has HDMI, no Display Ports. - Probably could use another USB-C input or two. I'd gladly sacrifice the Micro SD port for this. Who uses Micro SD ports these days?

Bought this for resetting my desk with different setup. It worked for single setup and also had to install a third party software to make it work, I felt it kind of hacky way to support dual monitors. So I decided to delete the software and return the product. It did connect as it claimed and it’s made with quality material as any other Anker products. This can be only compatible with Apple product as I tried my Dell with it but it didn’t work.

This versatile hub will suit most users' needs. It has all the necessary connections for a dual-monitor setup with extra ports for a camera, speaker or else. The only problem I encountered was that I wanted to mount it outside or under my desk so It would not clutter my desk. The supplied the computer cable, which was too short for it. I think it is a foot long. I was not able to make any of the existing USB-C cables I have to work on. I have complete data and charge-only cables. None would supply power and drive two monitors for my Mac. Have to be something proprietary to Anker. I also was not able to find a longer cable from Anker for this hub. Full transparency - I haven't contacted Anker about this problem yet. So, your mileage may be wary.

For the price of this dock, i wasn't expecting to have 2 displays connected to my m1 macbook air along with the laptop display working as well.

Das Dock ist seit über an meinem Jahr in Verwendung und hängt primär an meinem M1 MacBook. Für dieses fügt es Support für einen zweiten externen Monitor hinzu, was das MacBook von Werk nicht unterstützt. Allein dafür ist das Dock seinen Preis in meinen Augen wert. Man muss beachten, dass wenn man diesen Workaround in Anspruch nimmt, die Qualität des Bildes auf dem zweiten Display nicht perfekt ist, aber das ist eine technische Limitierung, die alle Docks mit diesem Feature haben. Man muss sich halt fragen: Lieber zweiter externer Bildschirm mit Imperfekten Bild oder gar keinen zweiten externen Bildschirm? Das Dock ist sehr hochwertig verarbeitet und voll und ganz aus Aluminium. Alle Ports sind bei mir in Verwendung und ich habe in über einem Jahr keine Mängel feststellen können. 5 ⭐️

Hallo, selten war ich von einem Produkt so begeistert. Nach gefühlt ewiger Suche nach einer vernünftigen Dockingstation habe ich diese von Anker gefunden. Nach kurzer Installation der Software wurden zwei angeschlossene Bildschirme automatisch erkannt. Die Verarbeitung der Dockingstation ist sehr gut. Der Preis von 100 € ist jeden Cent wert. Absolute Kaufempfehlung. Mein benutztes Gerät: Apple MacBook, M2 2023.

Works perfect with my M1 laptop, you get two monitors output. I have 32 inches Ultrawide and 27 inches Ultrawide and it works perfect for the two of them. It also provides power supply so you end up with just one cable. Highly recommend given the price.

On an M1 Mac with Sonoma, this does not work in dual screen mode the hub will not recognize the second monitor. And on Wake Up, the second monitor takes 30 sec to show an image. Overall product support docs are pretty poor. Not recommended for this configuration
