Is there a TB dock/hub for M1 Macs that replicates the Intel i7 Mac mini ports?

I've searched high and low and I'm yet to find this seemingly elusive combo of ports. I want to get the same ports as I have on my Mac mini i7 in a hub so I can connect it to my M1 MBA. Hopefully elegantly.

basically 4 tb ports (at least 3), 1 HDMI port, 2 USB 3.0 ports. Is that too much to ask? :roll:

The OWC Thunderbolt Go Dock may be close:

Yes, it is too much to ask. Most Thunderbolt hubs top out at 3 ports. The CalDigit Element Hub has 4 Thunderbolt ports, but one of them must be used to connect to the computer because there is no HDMI port.

If you are okay with 3 Thunderbolt ports, the CalDigit Thunderbolt Station 4 and the OWC Thunderbolt Go Dock are your best options.
