【Hardcore Gadget Geek's Review】Anker Nano USB-C Hub (10-in-1, 240Hz, Display) Review: Out Oct 6, JPY 16,990, 80W Charging and 240Hz HDMI/DP
The Anker Nano USB-C Hub (10-in-1, 240Hz, Display) is a 10-port hub for laptops. It went on sale in Japan on Oct 6, 2026 at JPY 16,990 (tax included). It delivers up to 80W to the laptop, outputs up to 240Hz over HDMI and DisplayPort, and has a display on the front. It is my pick for anyone who wants a desk down to one cable.
Key points
- Release date: Oct 6, 2026. JPY 16,990 tax included
- Up to 80W charging out (100W in). HDMI and DisplayPort up to 240Hz, 4K supported
- A front display shows power, speed and temperature per port. 130 x 56 x 50mm, about 370g
[Released Oct 6, 2026] Anker Nano USB-C Hub (10-in-1, 240Hz, Display)
The Anker Nano USB-C Hub (10-in-1) packs 80W charging and 240Hz output into one box
Anker Japan put this on sale on Oct 6, 2026. It is Anker's first USB-C hub with a display, at JPY 16,990 tax included. One box connects a laptop to monitors, SD cards and wired LAN.
The front has an SD slot, a microSD slot and one 10Gbps USB-C port. The back has a USB-C for charging, three USB-A ports, wired LAN, HDMI and DisplayPort.
As an IT consultant (SE), I look at a hub's numbers when everything is in use, not at the port count. So I lined up the power and speed with the arithmetic.
How I judged it
Power first. Input is up to 100W and output to the laptop is up to 80W. The 20W gap (100 - 80) goes to the hub and whatever else is plugged in. For 80W you need a 100W-or-higher charger and cable.
Video next. HDMI and DisplayPort both reach 240Hz and support 4K. But 240Hz works only if the laptop supports DisplayPort 1.4.
Last, the front display. It shows per-port power, data speed and the hub's temperature, and shows an error on a bad connection. Hub trouble is hard to trace, so this matters.
If you can't decide, take this hub. The reason: 80W charging, 240Hz output and ten ports for JPY 16,990.

For two monitors you can use HDMI and DisplayPort together. Whether both run at 240Hz depends on the laptop.
The warranty length was not stated in the announcement I read.
What do the numbers show?
| Item | Number | Arithmetic |
|---|---|---|
| Price per port | About JPY 1,699 | 16,990 / 10 |
| Weight per port | About 37g | 370 / 10 |
| Power reaching the laptop | 80% of input | 80 / 100 |
| Per day over one year | About JPY 47 | 16,990 / 365 |
The 80% leaves headroom for the other devices. If your laptop charger is 65W, check that 80W is enough first.

Strengths and things to note
Strengths
One cable does it all. Charging, video, SD and wired LAN in one box means fewer cables on the desk.
You can see the numbers. The front screen shows power, speed and temperature, so trouble is easier to trace.
Strong video. HDMI and DisplayPort both reach 240Hz, which suits games and fast-moving screens.
Things to note
At about 370g it suits a desk better than a bag. 240Hz needs a laptop that supports DisplayPort 1.4.
Who is it for?
People who keep a laptop on the desk and want monitors, wired LAN and SD cards on one cable. People who want to run a gaming monitor from a laptop.
If you want a small hub to carry, weight is the first thing to look at.
Price and where to buy
JPY 16,990 tax included, available at Anker's Rakuten Ichiba store and others. Over a year, that is about JPY 47 a day (16,990 / 365).
If you can't decide, take this hub. The reason: 80W charging, 240Hz output and ten ports for JPY 16,990.
