This will definitely be what you are looking for.

available So first things first; This thing looks absolutely gorgeous in the pictures, holding it in real life was amazing as it's aluminum not to mention the build quality. But if she just looks pretty and doesn't do her job. what is that, right? However, this hub looks good AND does what it's supposed to do very well. I recently bought an Air and was looking for the right hub I will not regret buying and this one definitely did not disappoint. The main selling point is the looks. With a lightweight and compact form factor, it's easy to carry whether in your bag or laptop case. And if you're worried about it scratching your exorbitant car, don't worry because it comes with a faux leather storage bag (picture included). The hub fits snugly into the two USB-C ports, eliminating almost any wobble or wobble. Let's get to performance. My Air had the 128GB version, so an external drive is a must. I've plugged in my external SSD and tried to transfer a few MP4 files, but so far there's been no sign of stuttering or slowdown during the transfer. The iPhone charged normally through the USB 3 port, although I'm not sure about Android devices. Note that you can't charge your car by plugging it into the USB-C port in the center of the hub, as that's for data transfer only. However, you can charge your car by plugging it into the port on the end of the hub with the lightning label. If you have a monitor with a high refresh rate, you should be able to get up to 120Hz over HDMI. Cable. Not sure if it can run above 120Hz as I don't have a USB-C to DisplayPort cable to test with, so I'll leave that to others. Last but not least; Is this hub worth it? In my opinion, yes. It does what I want and expect and is very easy to carry, plus it doesn't have an extension cord to get in the way. This thing is literally the piece of the puzzle your MacBook is missing. Of course there are other options such as those offered by Anker, Satechi, Kingston etc but you can't help but agree that this one comes in a variety of colors to suit your car.
