benchmarksutra Hub Score: How We Rate USB-C Hubs and Docks
Summary

How benchmarksutra rates usb-c hubs and docks: maker-stated specs and Indian prices only, nothing guessed.

Quick Verdict

The benchmarksutra Hub Score rates 8 usb-c hubs and docks sold in India. Every spec comes from the maker's own product page, and every price from an Indian retailer's listing. We never use test results from other sites, and we never fill a gap with a guess.

Researched, not hands-on tested. Scores use only the specifications on each maker's own product page (checked 14 November 2026) and prices at Indian retailers (checked 14 November 2026). We did not test these usb-c hubs and docks ourselves. How the benchmarksutra Hub Score works.

What we rate

  • Laptop charging. Watts the maker says reach your laptop through the hub (pass-through charging), capped at 100.

  • External displays. External screens the maker says the hub or dock can drive at once: one 40, two 75, three 100. What you get also depends on your laptop.

  • Best video output. Best single video output the maker states: 4K at 60 Hz 100; 4K at 30 Hz 50; 4K with no refresh rate stated 55.

  • Ports. Total ports the maker lists (the "in-1" count). Ten points each, capped at 100.

  • Data speed. Fastest USB data port: 5 Gbps 50, 10 Gbps 80, 20 Gbps 90, 40 Gbps 100.

  • Wired network. Ethernet port: none 0, 100 Mbps 30, 1 Gbps 75, 2.5 Gbps 100.

  • Price. Lowest price we found, against the cheapest product of the same kind (hubs against hubs, docks against docks).

Buyer profiles

What we checked

We read each maker's own product page, spec sheet or user guide for ports, charging, display output, data speed and Ethernet. Retail listings are used only for the price. Where a maker leaves something out, that row is left out and the weights re-spread.

Check your laptop first

A hub can only pass on what your laptop's USB-C port supports. Two or three external displays usually need DisplayPort Alt Mode with MST, which MacBooks with base chips do not support. Check your laptop maker's page before buying a dock for multiple screens.

What the score does not measure

  • Real charging speed and heat under load.

  • Real data speed with your drives.

  • Whether your laptop supports every display mode.

  • Build quality and cable length.

  • Thunderbolt docks. They need different rows and are not in this score yet.
