Analysis

Check: 4K at 60Hz (many cheap hubs are 30Hz), 85–100W PD pass-through if you charge through it, 10Gbps USB if you move big files, and whether your laptop's USB-C port supports DisplayPort Alt Mode at all.

Reliability and upgrade notes: cheap hubs run hot, and heat kills the PD controller. If a hub gets too hot to hold, return it. A hub that fails while charging can take the laptop's USB-C port with it.

Verdict

A sensible low-cost hub. Check the HDMI refresh rate if you need 4K at 60Hz.
