I also upgraded my UGREEN USB-C Hub to the newer version with 4K60HZ HDMI support since I upgraded my monitor as well. I didn’t use it for passthrough charging, although I did see that Apple did have a MacOS update last year that addressed this concern with bricked Macbooks and issues with usb-c hubs, but I never tested it to verify.

It also needs to have great build quality, a tight and secure fit, and the color should match the space grey color of the laptop itself. I would also need the best quality pass-through charging. I need an HDMI port, micro/SD card slots, 2 USB-A, and 2 USB-C ports (for charging and for data). I was researching about what USB-C hub to get. Hey guys! I just recently ordered my M1 MacBook Pro in space grey and I'm super excited to receive it in a couple of weeks (blah international shipping).
