5.4/10verdict: good, not the best

The Anker 568 is a USB4 dock for Windows laptops that need up to three monitors and laptop charging over one cable. It gives the laptop up to 85W after its own draw and adds front USB-C ports with 30W each. It is a poor match for MacBooks, and owner reports of display and Ethernet drops make it a weaker choice for buyers who want a trouble-free desk.

4.2/10verdict: skip

The Lemorele TC94L is for people who want to run two 1080p monitors from one USB-C laptop port. It suits home working with documents, email and browser windows rather than high-resolution displays or fast storage. Anyone who needs wired networking, 4K at 60Hz or strong laptop charging should check the limits carefully first.
