Would love some input on this as well. My googling ends up in buy-cheap-buy-twice so I'm thinking caldigit ts3/4 but £300+ for a f-n hub?!

missus has told me work aren't paying for it, and she's not keen on spending approx £100 on one hub to rule them all, she was looking at cheaper £40 options. I've rolled my eyes and walked away from the situation until cheaper versions break and we're back in this situation again.
For what it's worth, if the amazon reviews hadn't been so bad for the satechi I probably would have pointed her to it. I still may when/if the options she buys break.

missus has got a new work macbook air with usb-c ports, she needs to plug an older mini displayport apple monitor in to use as her second screen, plus ethernet, and some older usb dongles for upright mouse and numberpad.
Found this Satechi one as it's got a built in mini displayport

but the reviews aren't favourable, work is going to play for it (I presume) so wondering if they would spring for a caldigit usb c pro dock (though I can't seem to find any in stock), we'd have to use a displayport 1.2 to female mini displayport, but that's not a major issue.

any other alternatives that get good reviews/ratings?
