Product overview
The same stand, and one implausible number
Read this alongside the Umaniy stand at position one, because the two listings describe the same object. Both state eight ports, 4K HDMI at 3840 by 2160 and 30Hz, two USB-A at 5Gbps, a USB-C PD port, a USB-C data port, SD and TF card slots at up to 25MB/s, nine height levels, a stable triangular structure with non-slip silicone pads, an included portable storage bag, and folded dimensions of 10.5 by 2.2 by 0.9 inches. Agreement to a tenth of an inch on folded size is what one factory supplying two brands looks like. Choosing between them on features is choosing between the same product twice.
Where this one is better is weight and the power statement. At 0.7 pounds it is 0.2 lighter than the Umaniy, which is a real if small difference in a bag. And it states a maximum 100W input with up to 90W reaching the laptop, against Umaniy's 85W, so on the numbers as given this one passes slightly more power through.
The port arrangement is itemized more usefully than most: two USB-A 3.0 at 5Gbps, one USB-C PD 3.0, one USB-C for data at Gen 1 speeds, one SD and one TF. Knowing which USB-C port does power and which does data saves a lot of plugging things in and out.
The same caveat applies as to its twin, and it is the important one. Four-K at 30Hz is low enough to notice: trailing pointer, juddering scroll, laggy window dragging. The BENFEI stand and the Arctalis hub in this guide both state 60Hz. If you are buying a dock in order to run a monitor, that single specification outranks everything else on this page.
Now the claim that does not hold. The listing states the stand supports laptops up to 40 pounds without bounce or wobble. Forty pounds is roughly 18 kilograms, which is about four times the heaviest laptop ever sold to consumers and four times the 4.5 kilogram rating the BENFEI stand in this guide gives for a comparable folding aluminum structure. It is not a reason to avoid the product, since no laptop will test it, but a specification that implausible is a reasonable prompt to treat the listing's other unverified superlatives with some caution.
Two honest notes. The bullet about remaining sturdy while writing on an iPad Pro describes a use case the rest of the listing does not support with any figure. And as with every dock here, HDMI requires your laptop's USB-C port to carry DisplayPort Alt Mode, which Mukiya states and recommends verifying on the manufacturer's site.
