UGREEN Revodok Pro 210 vs Anker Nano Docking Station Comparison 2026

UGREEN Revodok Pro 210 vs Anker Nano Docking Station: the quick answer

The UGREEN Revodok Pro 210 and Anker Nano Docking Station are both USB-C docks for people who want HDMI, USB, Ethernet, charging, and card readers without paying Thunderbolt prices. They also share the same big caveat: neither one is a Thunderbolt dock and neither one uses DisplayLink. Both depend on USB-C DisplayPort Alt Mode and MST behavior, so Windows laptops get the best multi-monitor experience while macOS users should expect mirrored extra displays rather than two or three independent extended screens.

The short verdict: the Anker Nano Docking Station wins for most buyers. It costs more, but the extra money buys a 10Gbps host link, 100W host charging, an included 140W power adapter, audio, DisplayPort, a vertical desktop layout, and the detachable 6-in-1 travel hub that gives the product its point. Its 7.4 score is only slightly above the UGREEN’s 7.2, but the spec sheet is more complete and the design solves a real desk-and-bag problem.

The UGREEN Revodok Pro 210 still makes sense. At $69.99 MSRP, and often less on sale, it is a practical dual-HDMI hub with Ethernet, SD, microSD, USB-A, USB-C data, and 85W passthrough charging when you provide a 100W charger. If you want a cheap Windows office hub and do not care about 10Gbps data or an included power brick, UGREEN is the cleaner value play.

Quick specs comparison

What these docks have in common

These two docks are closer than the price gap suggests. Both are built around USB-C, not Thunderbolt. Both avoid DisplayLink drivers. Both provide HDMI, Ethernet, card readers, and enough USB ports for a normal desk. Both can charge a laptop through USB-C Power Delivery. Both have the same Mac problem that appears across MST-based USB-C hubs: macOS does not treat the extra HDMI outputs as separate extended displays.

That last point matters more than any marketing line on the box. If you own a Windows laptop with USB-C DisplayPort Alt Mode and MST support, either dock can build a useful multi-monitor desk. If you own a MacBook Air or base MacBook Pro and want two independent external monitors, neither dock is the right answer. You should be looking at a DisplayLink dock such as the options in our best docking stations for MacBook guide, or at a Thunderbolt dock if your Mac supports multiple native external displays.

Both also sit below true desktop workstation docks for storage performance. The UGREEN hub has a 5Gbps host link. The Anker doubles that to 10Gbps, which is better, but it still shares bandwidth between displays and data. If your day includes fast external SSDs, 4K capture devices, or high-refresh monitors, a USB-C hub like this will feel constrained. For basic office work, though, the trade-off can be perfectly reasonable.

Port selection: Anker gives you a fuller desk setup

The UGREEN Revodok Pro 210 is a 10-in-1 hub. Its useful desk ports are two HDMI 2.0 outputs, one 5Gbps USB-C data port, one 5Gbps USB-A port, two USB-A 2.0 ports, Gigabit Ethernet, SD, microSD, and USB-C PD input. That is a good spread for a $70 class product. The two slower USB-A ports are fine for a keyboard, mouse receiver, webcam control dongle, or other low-bandwidth accessories. The fast USB-C and USB-A ports handle everyday storage, but the YAML is clear that this is a 5Gbps hub, not a 10Gbps or Thunderbolt dock.

The Anker Nano Docking Station has a broader port mix. It adds a DisplayPort 1.4 output next to the two HDMI 2.0 ports, gives you two USB-C 3.2 data ports instead of one USB-C 3.0 data port, keeps three USB-A ports, includes Gigabit Ethernet, adds a 3.5mm combo audio jack, and includes SD plus microSD readers. The downstream USB-C ports provide 7.5W, while the faster USB-A port provides 4.5W. That is not enough to replace a phone fast charger, and the product YAML calls weak downstream charging a real limitation, but it is still more flexible than the UGREEN layout.

The Anker’s biggest port advantage is not just count. It is variety. DisplayPort gives monitor owners another native cable option. Audio saves a USB adapter if you use wired headphones or speakers. Two USB-C data ports are easier to live with in 2026 than one. UGREEN covers the basics, but Anker feels more like a small desktop dock rather than a travel hub stretched across a desk.

Port winner: Anker Nano Docking Station. UGREEN is solid for the price, but Anker has the more complete desktop layout.

Display support: Anker can attach more screens, but do not overread that

The UGREEN Revodok Pro 210 has two HDMI 2.0 ports. Its YAML lists single display output up to 8K@30Hz on compatible hosts, single 4K@60Hz, and dual HDMI up to 4K@60Hz. It also notes the practical caveat: Windows can extend two external displays, while macOS mirrors the same external image across both HDMI outputs. Some review notes describe dual 4K@30Hz behavior depending on host bandwidth and mode, so the host laptop matters.

The Anker Nano Docking Station goes further on paper. It has two HDMI 2.0 ports and one DisplayPort 1.4 output. Its YAML lists single 4K@60Hz, dual 4K@60Hz on capable Windows, USB4, or Thunderbolt hosts, and triple-display support at 1080p@60Hz in the schema. The notes are more cautious than the number looks. Triple-display mode is heavily bandwidth-limited on the 10Gbps USB-C link, and review testing cited in the YAML found triple monitors at 1600x900@60Hz, below the schema’s lowest resolution enum.

That means the real display decision is simple. If you need two normal office monitors from a Windows laptop, both can work. If you need a third low-resolution office display, Anker is the only one of the two that can attempt it. If you need two or three sharp high-resolution displays, neither is the perfect class of dock. A Thunderbolt 4 dock or a DisplayLink dock is a safer route depending on your laptop.

Display winner: Anker Nano Docking Station, with caveats. It offers more outputs and a higher ceiling, but triple-display mode is not a substitute for a high-bandwidth Thunderbolt setup.

MacBook behavior: both have the same core limitation

Mac compatibility is where these docks can disappoint buyers who only read the port list. The UGREEN Revodok Pro 210 works with macOS for USB, Ethernet, charging, and HDMI output, but two HDMI monitors mirror each other instead of extending as two separate desktops. The YAML lists this as a known incompatibility and calls it expected behavior for this USB-C hub class.

The Anker Nano Docking Station has a similar limitation. Anker’s compatibility notes say macOS gets single extended display behavior, with additional external monitors mirroring the same content. The YAML also says Linux devices are not compatible according to Anker, which makes the Anker a weaker pick if you want broad OS flexibility. UGREEN lists Linux, ChromeOS, and Android support with the usual warning that display output depends on the host’s USB-C DP Alt Mode support.

So the Anker is better for Mac as a desk dock only because the rest of its hardware is better: 100W charging, a 10Gbps host link, audio, and the removable hub. It is not better because it fixes Mac multi-monitor output. It does not. If your main buying requirement is two independent external Mac displays, skip both.

Mac winner: Anker for general docking, tie for multi-monitor limitations. Neither one solves extended dual displays on base MacBooks.

Charging and power: Anker includes the power system

UGREEN’s charging story is good for the size and price. The Revodok Pro 210 accepts up to 100W through its USB-C PD input and passes up to 85W to the laptop, reserving 15W for the hub. That is enough for many ultrabooks, office laptops, and MacBook Air setups. The catch is that the charger is yours to provide. If you do not already have a capable USB-C charger, the real setup cost rises.

Anker’s charging setup is more complete. The Nano Docking Station includes a 140W power adapter and can deliver up to 100W to the host laptop. Its power input is DC barrel rather than USB-C, so it is less flexible if you like swapping chargers, but the out-of-box experience is stronger. You plug in the included adapter and get a proper powered desktop dock.

There is one small twist. The UGREEN can operate like a simple bus-powered hub when you do not need laptop charging, while the Anker is more clearly a desktop dock. That helps UGREEN if your setup changes often and you prefer carrying a light hub. But for a permanent desk, Anker’s included adapter and 100W host charging are easier to recommend.

Power winner: Anker Nano Docking Station. UGREEN’s 85W passthrough is useful, but Anker ships the complete 100W charging setup in the box.

Travel and desk use: two very different designs

UGREEN is the simpler travel product. It has a 35cm built-in cable, does not require an external power supply for basic hub use, and gives you HDMI, Ethernet, card readers, and USB in a compact package. If you just need to keep something in a bag for conference rooms, hotels, or a shared office, that simplicity is a strength. The longer built-in cable is also called out as a usability plus in the YAML because many compact hubs use very short pigtails.

Anker is more clever. The Nano Docking Station is a desktop dock with a removable 6-in-1 hub built into the front. At your desk, the full unit drives monitors, Ethernet, power, USB, cards, and audio. When you leave, you press the release switch and take the front hub with you. The detached hub keeps HDMI, USB-C, USB-A, SD, microSD, and USB-C passthrough charging. That is the main reason to buy the Anker over a normal USB-C dock.

The better design depends on how you work. If you want the smallest cheap adapter, UGREEN is easier. If you currently own one desk dock and one travel hub, Anker can replace both with one product. The YAML even gives Anker a “Best modular USB-C dock” badge, and that feels earned from the specs.

Design winner: Anker Nano Docking Station for hybrid desk-and-travel use. UGREEN wins only if low cost and simple portability matter more than modularity.

Performance and storage: 10Gbps beats 5Gbps, but both have limits

The UGREEN Revodok Pro 210 is capped at 5Gbps data. Its YAML verdict notes respectable real-world speeds for the class, but also says it is not a great match for fast external SSDs, high-refresh monitors, or people expecting Thunderbolt behavior. One of its listed cons is that 5Gbps USB data is noticeably slower than 10Gbps USB-C and Thunderbolt docks.

The Anker Nano Docking Station improves the host link to 10Gbps. That is a meaningful upgrade for everyday storage and a better fit for modern USB-C accessories. But the YAML still warns that the 10Gbps host bandwidth can bottleneck fast storage when displays are connected. This is the hidden cost of using a USB-C dock for monitors and data at the same time.

If your storage needs are light, both are fine. If you regularly move large video projects, RAW photo libraries, or VM images, Anker is better but still not ideal. A Thunderbolt dock, or a direct laptop connection for the SSD, will be faster.

Performance winner: Anker Nano Docking Station. Its 10Gbps link gives it breathing room that UGREEN does not have.

Price and value: UGREEN is the budget pick

The UGREEN Revodok Pro 210 has one clear advantage: price. Its MSRP is $69.99, and the YAML notes common sale pricing around $50 to $60. That is a strong deal for dual HDMI, Gigabit Ethernet, SD, microSD, 85W passthrough charging, and a usable USB mix. If you already have a USB-C charger and you only need two Windows office monitors, it is hard to argue with the value.

The Anker Nano Docking Station is more than twice the MSRP at $149.99. It earns some of that back because it includes a 140W power adapter and replaces both a desktop dock and a travel hub for the right person. Still, buyers who only need a simple dual-HDMI hub will not use enough of the Anker’s extra design to justify the cost.

This is why the final recommendation is not a clean “always buy Anker” answer. Anker is the better dock. UGREEN may be the better purchase if your requirements are narrow and your budget is tight.

Value winner: UGREEN Revodok Pro 210 for basic setups. Anker is the better value only when you will use the removable hub and stronger desk features.

Verdict: Anker Nano Docking Station wins, but UGREEN keeps the budget lane

The Anker Nano Docking Station is the better USB-C dock overall. It has the higher score, faster 10Gbps host connection, more video flexibility, 100W host charging, included 140W adapter, audio jack, two USB-C data ports, and the detachable 6-in-1 hub that makes it useful away from the desk. For hybrid workers, students, and home-office users who want one product to cover both desk and travel needs, it is the more capable choice.

The UGREEN Revodok Pro 210 is not outclassed for its intended job. It is a low-cost USB-C hub with dual HDMI, Ethernet, card readers, 85W passthrough charging, and a practical port mix. For a Windows laptop in a budget office setup, it gets the basics right. Its limits are clear: 5Gbps USB, no audio, no DisplayPort, no included charger, and the same Mac mirroring issue as other MST-based USB-C hubs.

Choose the Anker Nano Docking Station if:

• You want one device for both desk docking and travel hub use
• You need 100W host charging and want the power adapter included
• You prefer 10Gbps USB-C over a 5Gbps hub
• You want DisplayPort and audio in addition to HDMI
• You may use three displays on Windows, even with the triple-display limitations
• You are comfortable paying more for a cleaner hybrid design

Choose the UGREEN Revodok Pro 210 if:

• You want the cheaper dual-HDMI USB-C hub
• You already own a 100W USB-C charger for passthrough power
• You only need one or two Windows office monitors
• You want Ethernet, SD, microSD, and basic USB in a compact adapter
• You do not need audio, DisplayPort, 10Gbps data, or a detachable hub
• You understand that Mac dual-monitor output will mirror rather than extend

For most people comparing these two by capability, the Anker Nano Docking Station is the safer recommendation. For price-sensitive buyers who just need a simple USB-C office hub, the UGREEN Revodok Pro 210 is still a smart buy.
