Description
Two ways to add ports to a laptop — one cheap and simple, one that does everything.
Choose your model:
- 4-Port USB 2.0 Hub — the budget option. Four USB-A ports from one, compact enough to live in a bag. Data only, no display output.
- 8-Port USB-C Travel Dock — an 8-in-1 connecting a notebook to monitors, network and peripherals through a single USB-C port
Which to buy. If the problem is simply not enough USB ports for a mouse, keyboard and drive, the 4-port hub solves it for $14.50. If you need to drive a display or reach a wired network as well, you want the travel dock.
USB 2.0 on the 4-port is worth knowing — fine for mice, keyboards and low-speed peripherals, slow for moving large files. For fast transfer, look at the USB 3.0 hubs in the range.
