Our take
PG-TC401 combines USB, display, card-reader, and claimed power functions in a direct-attach design for two adjacent MacBook USB-C ports. Its HDMI and Thunderbolt 3 modes differ, and the seller's 100W claim does not establish net laptop charging.
A compatible MacBook with two adjacent USB-C ports whose owner wants a direct-attach display, data, and card-reader hub..
It is not a universal cabled hub for a computer with one USB-C port, and not a 4K60 HDMI choice based on the saved listing.

Full review: how the features affect your choice
What the features mean for you
Check the two-plug fit before choosing the hub
Purgo's PG-TC401 is described as a seven-in-two adapter that uses two neighboring USB-C ports on a MacBook. That close-to-the-computer shape can avoid a loose cable, but it makes port spacing and case clearance part of compatibility. Seller records name several MacBook Air and Pro generations; they do not establish fit with every USB-C computer. Check the exact model year, whether both ports are free, and whether a protective case blocks either connector. A single-cable hub is more flexible if the computer has only one available USB-C port or if the hub needs to sit away from the laptop.
Choose between HDMI and Thunderbolt display claims
The seller listings distinguish HDMI from the Thunderbolt 3 connection. HDMI is listed up to 4K at 30Hz, while Thunderbolt 3 is described up to 40Gbps, 5K at 60Hz, or two 4K60 displays. These are seller specifications, not a guarantee that every MacBook and monitor combination can use those modes. Host graphics support, operating system, monitor inputs, and cables all matter. If 4K60 over HDMI is a firm requirement, the saved listing does not claim that mode. Check the exact display path and your computer's output limits before selecting this adapter for a multi-monitor desk.
Keep data and charging ports distinct
Descriptions list two USB 3.0 ports and one USB-C port marked for data only, in addition to the Thunderbolt connection. The USB-C data-only socket should not be mistaken for the charging input. The listing presents the device as a seven-in-two hub, so its count includes different output functions rather than seven interchangeable USB sockets. This layout can serve USB peripherals and storage while leaving a separate path for the display outputs, but no measured simultaneous throughput is available. Check the labels and port diagram on the exact revision before connecting a USB-C drive or planning a power route.
Treat 100W as an input claim, not net laptop output
The seller advertises up to 100W PD pass-through, but does not state how much wattage reaches the MacBook after the hub's own draw or when displays and peripherals are active. Charger rating, cable capability, host limits, and connected loads can all affect charging. The separate USB-C data-only port is not the power input. If charging rate matters, find the exact manual or a current power diagram for the revision being sold rather than relying on the search-title headline. The saved evidence supports a seller claim, not a measured result or a promise of 100W delivered to the computer.
Use the model code to distinguish nearby Purgo hubs
Several seller records identify PG-TC401 and its dual-plug MacBook layout. A separate saved Purgo product, PG-TC406, is not the same model and should not inherit these port or display claims. One seller associates PG-TC401 with ASIN B07PFNV82M, while the historical row is B0752TD9GY; neither establishes a current exact Amazon offer for this row. Search by PG-TC401 and compare the two host plugs, HDMI and Thunderbolt outputs, two USB 3.0 ports, and the card slots. This review does not rely on customer comments or claim hands-on testing.
