Your needs, this model
Does it fit your priorities?
Can a compatible Intel MacBook use one HDMI screen with the lid closed and charging through the hub?
The original manual documents that powered procedure using the computer’s original charger and the marked multifunction port.
Explore this need in the finder →Does 40Gbps on the multifunction connection establish 20Gbps ordinary USB data?
No. Thunderbolt transport and ordinary USB drive capability are separate; the exact ordinary C-port rates are unconfirmed.
Explore this need in the finder →Can I require two independent screens and charging through this hub together?
Not in a confirmed supplied arrangement. The charger occupies the same multifunction C socket used for the second video connection.
Explore this need in the finder →The WAVLINK UHP507 is a dual-plug hub for a specifically listed MacBook. Its useful combination is HDMI, two USB-A ports, card readers and two USB-C connections with different roles. The deciding limitation is physical: the multifunction USB-C socket can carry a charger or a display/data connection, but it cannot hold both plugs at once. Plan that occupancy before treating all the feature headlines as one simultaneous setup.
Check the MacBook fit
The official store lists MacBook Pro models from 2016 through 2020 and MacBook Air models from 2018 through 2020, while the original manual identifies a compatible MacBook Pro 2016-or-later design. The accepted arrangement here is the listed Intel-era hardware with the correct pair of adjacent USB-C sockets. The sources do not name an Apple Silicon chip, so their old year ranges are not expanded into a base M1 dual-display claim.
Both fixed host plugs must seat correctly. Check the computer chassis, nearby connectors and any protective case. A dock on a flexible lead is easier to place when the laptop sits on a stand or moves around the desk. With this flush arrangement, support the hub and attached cables so their weight does not pull against the computer sockets.
Two USB-C sockets are not interchangeable
The original port diagram labels one USB-C socket for data and the other for PD100W,40Gbps data and media display. That multifunction connection is described with a Thunderbolt passthrough role in the official store. Its 40Gbps transport headline does not establish 20Gbps USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 capability for an ordinary USB drive. The source does not separately settle the ordinary USB data rate of either downstream C socket.
When a charger occupies the multifunction socket, the separate data-only C connection remains available. When that multifunction socket is used for a display or peripheral, it is not simultaneously available as the hub’s charger input. The operating plans keep those different occupancies separate instead of combining their best features into one fictional arrangement.
The two USB-A ports are advertised at 5Gbps and support compatible older USB peripherals. They share the computer connection; the line rate is not a measured copying result or an isolated bandwidth allocation to each device. The original guide lists up to 0.9A at its USB 3.0 peripheral interface, which does not make the hub a general multi-phone fast charger.
HDMI and the second video route
The HDMI output supports 3840 by 2160 at 30Hz. The multifunction C connection lists one 5K60 display, or two 4K60 displays through an extra adapter. That separately purchased adapter is not part of the supplied arrangement and does not turn the hub into a two-HDMI model.
The store documents simultaneous HDMI and multifunction-C video on an appropriate MacBook, but it does not establish a precise common simultaneous resolution that should be promoted into a dual 4K60 promise. A requirement for two independent screens while charging through the hub is also unconfirmed because the charger occupies the second video connection. Choose another documented dock if that complete combination is essential.
Powered closed-lid use is documented
The original manual gives a specific HDMI closed-lid procedure. Connect the compatible MacBook, attach its original power adapter to the marked multifunction port, connect the peripherals, then establish the HDMI desktop while the computer is on with the lid open. Close the lid after the external desktop appears. The charger is a condition of this configuration.
The guide warns against disconnecting power during data transfer. Finish storage activity and safely eject drives before changing the power arrangement. Although PD100W appears at the port, the reviewed material does not separately state the net wattage delivered to the laptop. The package contains the mini dock and quick start guide, with the computer’s charger supplied separately.
The SD and microSD slots can operate at the same time according to the exact store description. That is useful for a two-card workflow and differs from hubs that select only one slot. Choose UHP507 when its exact MacBook fit and chosen port occupancy suit the desk. Choose a different arrangement when confirmed laptop wattage, a specified C-port USB rate or charging alongside two independent screens is the deciding requirement.

| Host requirements | Two fixed adjacent USB-C plugs require the exact listed MacBook chassis. This is not a generic one-plug USB-C hub. |
| Screen arrangement | HDMI reaches 4K30. The multifunction C route lists 5K60, while dual 4K60 needs an extra adapter. HDMI+C simultaneous use has no confirmed uniform mode and cannot share that C socket with a charger. |
| Power and charging | The manual labels the multifunction connection PD100W and documents use of the computer’s original charger, without a separate net laptop ceiling. Charger is not in the dock package. |
| Data and device limits | Two USB-A ports are 5Gbps. One USB-C socket is data-only; the multifunction USB-C socket also offers a Thunderbolt passthrough role. Ordinary USB rates of both C sockets are unspecified. |
