Lemorele TC45L Seven-in-One USB-C Hub review

The Lemorele TC45L is a compact choice for a laptop that needs one HDMI monitor, two USB-A accessories, a USB-C data connection and both card formats at once. Simultaneous SD and microSD reading is the feature that makes its seven-function layout especially useful. The deciding limits are equally clear: this is a one-monitor adapter without Ethernet, and the 100W PD headline does not establish an independently stated net charging wattage for the laptop.

Buy the seven-port configuration

Lemorele uses TC45L in the current English product heading and TC45 in parts of the same product description and localized catalog. The reviewed configuration has two USB-A data ports, one USB-C data port, a separate charging-only USB-C input, HDMI and individual SD and microSD slots. That complete port map matters more than a shortened name. A six-in-one Ethernet listing using TC45 is not established as the same configuration and should not be treated as this hub.

The host plug is USB-C. For HDMI, the computer must provide native DisplayPort Alternate Mode video. Lemorele's longer localized specification explicitly requires DP1.4 Alternate Mode for 4K at 60Hz; check that capability on the exact computer before relying on the maximum resolution. A USB-C socket that only transfers data is insufficient. The downstream USB-C data port is a different connection and cannot pass HDMI to a monitor.

One independent external screen

The HDMI 2.0 output supports mirrored or extended operation up to 3840 × 2160 at 60Hz with a suitable host, HDMI cable and display. That makes the TC45L more appealing for an everyday 4K desktop than a hub limited to 30Hz. It remains a single external display arrangement. General marketing about a dual-display workspace can include the laptop's own screen; it does not add a second external output to this hardware.

The manufacturer's compatibility section names Windows and macOS, without documenting each later Mac chip or a specific MacBook lid arrangement. Those details need checking when they are essential to the setup. Nintendo Switch HDMI use is explicitly excluded. The inspected material also does not make a complete model-specific no-extra-software statement, so our finder leaves that requirement unconfirmed instead of turning a native video conversion path into a blanket software promise.

Three data sockets alongside the charger

The two USB-A sockets and the USB-C data socket are each advertised for transfers up to 5Gbps. A reader with a keyboard, one USB-A drive and a USB-C accessory can therefore select the appropriate mix without using the PD input as a pretend data port. Conversely, three USB-A accessories require an additional connection elsewhere: the USB-C data socket does not change its physical plug type because the overall data-port total is three.

These advertised capabilities do not allocate a separate 5Gbps computer link to each device. Transfers share the host connection, and actual copying depends on the equipment and workload. The longer maker description cautions that some 2.4GHz wireless devices, MIDI equipment and USB 3.0 devices may not be supported. If a particular receiver or specialist interface is essential, establish its compatibility before buying around the broad USB 3.0 label.

There is no RJ45 socket in this seven-port map. The page's wording about Gigabit-level data speeds describes a speed claim, rather than evidence of Ethernet networking. Choose a dock with a documented network port if a wired office connection is part of the job.

Cards are its strongest distinction

Lemorele explicitly supports simultaneous SD and microSD reading, with SDHC, SDXC and MMC formats within the stated capacity limits, including SDXC up to 2TB. That supports a workflow where both card formats remain connected. The current feature table and longer description use different card-speed figures and units, so we do not convert those claims into a guaranteed copy rate. The useful purchasing fact is simultaneous format access; your cards and the shared computer connection still determine transfer performance.

The separate PD socket can be used for computer charging while the USB-C data socket remains available. It is charging-only and cannot carry data or video. The manufacturer advertises up to 100W at that port, including a 20V/5A specification in its longer description, but does not separately state how much remains available to the laptop after the hub's own power needs. A specific minimum laptop wattage therefore needs confirmation. The package lists the hub and user manual, with a suitable PD charger supplied by the buyer.

Choose the TC45L when one supported 4K60 HDMI screen, two USB-A peripherals, one USB-C data device and simultaneous cards describe the whole desk. Choose another dock for two independent external monitors, wired networking, a verified software-free deployment or a confirmed high-wattage laptop charging requirement. Its layout is useful when every socket's actual role matches your equipment.
