USB-C Hub with 3 x USB-A & HDMI
This hub is perfect for those looking to expand their device's connection capabilities on the go. It can help them connect to additional devices, transfer data and connect additional displays. With its lightweight aluminium design, this hub is highly portable and can easily slip into a bag, briefcase or backpack.
I don't know the answer, but I'm curious how you would expect it to work? So you can connect this hub to Chromecast via USB-C and have the hub's ports available in Chromecast?
So i can increase the storage in the chromecast by adding a USB storage
This particular one is known to work with Chromecast with Google TV

It would want to be massively better than this one https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B086VFXX78 for that price.
Yeah, I'm also curious about the value of this deal here. So many cheaper hubs that seem smaller and have more ports.
I think that's a bad example, That one is a cheap hub with a low rating(for hubs). It also does not work the Chromecast.
My personal choice would be this VAVA one.
Many of the cheap ones get really hot, not sure about this one but seems like a good deal
i think these also in the same group as the cheap ones.
$25 things from aliexpress, when get sold in australia store become $100 on shelf (Then $60 when on special - and people think wowwww cheapppppp bargain lets get it…)
In my opinion, having read through reviews for cheaper hubs they seem to commonly have the following issues:
Depending on what device you're connecting it to, is it really worth buying something that is completely unbranded, with minimal reviews?
not sure about this one but seems like a good deal
So what does it make you see it a good deal?
Knowing the brand and being sold by Myer
Although I only had phone holder and case this brand, lol
I bought the VAVA from Amazon for $37, so far ok, gets hot at times but no issues
I couldn’t find anywhere whether this can do 4K@60Hz so until I know that, tis a no deal
No. People keep asking about mythical 4K60Hz hubs. They don't really exist. You're probably after a Thunderbolt dock.
They don't exist at this pricepoint.
4k60 unicorns do exist! … but you do need to have the right setup (ie a computer with DisplayPort 1.4).
I am currently typing on an M1 MacBook Air and Plugable hub, with both displays at full resolutions and HDR enabled on the 4k display (see https://imgur.com/pwg9i3u). The Plugable hub is currently unavailable on Amazon (https://www.amazon.com.au/gp/product/B08NXV94QM/ref=ppx_od_d…), but I bought it in Feb for around $42.
In saying that, my Dad bought a HeyMix(?) USB C hub advertising 4k60 and it works for about 5 mins before blanking out and flickering.
thanks OP - I ended up getting the Cygnett Unite DeskMate USB-C Hub Silver and priced beat it at OW for an extra 5%.
Stock is limited for the specific model OP posted, I couldn't order it to be delivered and no store near me has the stock.
But other models seem to be in stock and still half price.
Do you know if it will works with chromecast with google TV
