I'm on the hunt for the cheapest decent adapter or hub I can find around here....

...maybe something similar to this one or this one

I can't seem to track down these specific models anywhere locally, and honestly, I really don't feel like dealing with the headache of paying extra customs fees on an import from the US....

So, what kind of hub are we actually talking about here? Just basic USB ports, or are you looking for Ethernet, video output, and all that extra stuff?

Something like the ones in these links. I definitely need Ethernet and USB, and having a display output would be nice too... just nothing that breaks the bank.

Just a heads up, not every TypeC port on a laptop actually supports video output. Don't get stuck thinking it'll just work.

Just a heads up though, not every TypeC port on a laptop actually handles display output. Don't get stuck thinking it works when it doesn't.

Yeah, something along those lines... honestly, if I'm dropping this much cash, I better get display output out of it.
I need it for my Macbook, and from what I know, it really needs to support display out.

Then you need to be hunting for a Thunderbolt hub, not just any random TypeC

Alright, thanks for the heads-up.
...Anyway, I managed to track down some individual adapters, but I haven't had any luck finding an all-in-one hub yet 😢
