Macbook Air M1 | Best Suitable Accessories for Macbook Air M1 | Laptop Accessories

Macbook Air M1

Let’s talk about best suitable accessories for you MacBook Air M1. So you might have recently picked up an M1 MacBook Air or Pro. or perhaps you have an Intel model Or even one of the larger 15 or 16 inch MacBook Pros. Here’s a list of accessories that are tried and tested by me over the years and really help enhance the capabilities and increase you productivity with these machines. You can purchase these accessories from Amazon or other other e-commerce website to get best gadgets for you likewww.gadgetworldusa.com.

I will divide it in two sections:

- The first talking of accessories you can get for your MacBook when using it in laptop form, these are meant to be portable and in general can be applied to any laptop.

- In the second half, I will look at accessories when using your MacBook in desktop mode. What accessories you can get to make a seamless shift from laptop to desktop mode and carry on working for those longer, more demanding work sessions.

So let us get started with accessories to get when using your MacBook as a laptop.

USB Port:

Apple USB Type C to Type A adapter

The first thing I picked up when I got my first USB type C port only MacBook Pro, was this. The Apple USB Type C to Type A adapter. Well, with only USB Type C ports on all MacBook’s nowadays and a lot of peripherals still using a USB Type A port, you need the ability to access type A devices from the word go, so this is an excellent adapter to have in your bag, that will give you USB 3.1 Gen 1 speeds from any device that is also compliant with at least this standard.

Lenovo USB type C hub

Now, you may be thinking about why you should get an adapter that just provides a USB type A connection, when you can get a Lenovo USB type C hub with many other connections. Well, if that’s your Amazon is full of listing for these and there’s a lot of badge engineering happening here. So, a single supplier maybe manufacturing the same product for a number of retailers. Now both of these are well reviewed hubs, but I’ve had better luck with this Lenovo Hub. It is a couple of years old and no longer available in this exact version.

This other one offers additionally a 3.5mm jack, but in actual performance, it tends to heat up and loose the display completely till it gets cool. Also, you’re unable to adjust the volume using the MacBook’s software slider when you connect external speakers via this hub.

One thing these unpowered docks will not give you, is transfer speeds via SD cards. You really need a dedicated SD card reader if you work with large photo or video files. This here is an excellent choice, the SanDisk Imagemate Pro and it allows you to exploit the full potential of your SD cards read and write speeds.

Cable:

USB Type C to Micro B Amazon Basic Cable

Let’s talk cables for a bit. Now although you can use one of the aforementioned adapters or hubs to connect to USB type A cable devices, but if you’re not going to be moving between older computers and your new MacBook too much, you may want consider a USB Type C to Micro B cable such as these.

They are from different brands, but for the sake of uniformity wherever you may be located, I will recommend the USB Type C to Micro B Amazon Basic Cable. This will allow you to connect a sinning USB 3.1 hard drive directly to your MacBook via USB C and achieve USB 3.1 Gen 1 speeds.

Griffin Breaksafe cable

If you’ve had MacBook in the past and really loved the idea of MagSafe, this could be just the cable you were looking for. This is the Griffin Breaksafe cable that snaps in half if you yank or pull at it and prevents your computer from falling off a desk or other surface.

You have to be careful here, because there are tons of such options online. One example is this Baseus MagSafe connector, I really liked the idea of it. Convert your existing cable to MagSafe and have a very small connector permanently plugged in to the MacBook. And the connector itself was right angled to enable a more compact profile when charging. But in practise, this is not recommended at all. 99% of times it worked as advertised but that one time, when I connected it, remember this has live electricity running through it, it fried the logic board on one of my previous MacBook.

So, the only safe product I have come across is the Griffin Breaksafe cable. It’s bulkier and only charges up to 60 watts, so not as suited for bigger MacBook, but it’s safe and long enough to charge MacBook Airs and 13 inch Pros or even iPad Pros.

Cable Protectors

And also on the topic of cables, you can pick these little cable protectors on Amazon for next to nothing, they go on to your original Apple cables like so and offer great protection from bends in the one are Apple’s cables are most vulnerable at and if left unprotected, the cables tend to get frayed in this region. I used them on my iPad Pro and MacBook Pro 15 inch original USB Type C cables and they are as pristine as they were on day one, some two years later.

Mouse:

Logitech MX Master 3 mouse

Now when it comes to mouse, you do have the excellent trackpad on the MacBook Air itself, but if you want that classic mouse experience and want that scroll wheel, I cannot say. Enough good things about theLogitech MX Master 3 mouse. It’s not the most compact of mice but trust me when I say this, once you’ve used one of these, you will never want to go back to anything else. Really you have to experience it to know how great it is, it’s simply the best mouse in the world. In certain regions you can get in a Mac specific variant, but from what I’ve read there isn’t that much value addition in that one, so I would rather stick to the general variant and retain compatibility across devices.

Sandstorm mouse

You can connect up to three devices and switch between them using a toggle button on the bottom of the mouse. But if you want something more compact, I have used this Sandstorm mouse for the past three years now and this is from a UK based manufacturer. It is quite excellent, but its limited availability and recent issues I’ve had in terms of lagging with my older 15 inch MacBook Pro, means I would rather point you in the direction of the Logitech pebble mouse, which is really compact and performs well.

Protection:

MOCA hard shell case

Now let’s talk protection. For many people MacBook is an expensive purchase and they will rightfully have think about protecting their new investment. The first thing that comes to mind is a hard shell case such as this. This is the MOCA hard shell case for the new M1 MacBook Air, but also fits other2020 MacBook Airs. The idea is sound, but since 2016, when the USB Type C MacBook came out, their displays are razor thin and the top lid has very little strength to it. So whenever I’ve tried to use such a case, be it on this MacBook Air or my older 15 inch MacBook Pro, it adds too much weight to the lid, and I can see this having an adverse effect over the years on the hinges.

Now that you’ve chosen a hard shell case for your MacBook, you may be thinking of sleeves. Well, if you want a basic sleeve, you will be well served by any of the generic ones available on Amazon. I used a handcrafted one that I picked up in the UK on my original13 Inch Retina MacBook Pro for a good few years. But recently I’ve moved to “Thule cases and bags”. On one of my flights with my older 13 inch MacBook, a generic laptop bag didn’t offer the protection from pressure damage that was needed and I had a damaged MacBook screen. Since then, I surveyed the market and chose this product, the Thule Gauntlet sleeve for both 13 inch and 15 inch MacBook Pros.

Thule Gauntlet sleeve

I actually the used the 13 inch version for my iPad Pro 12.9 inch. It offers rugged protection and although bulkier than a cloth or fabric sleeve, I’ve had peace of mind when travelling with this item. It’s quite no frills though and beyond a protective shield for your device, it doesn’t offer any storage space for accessories.

Thule Attaché case

If you’d rather have a bag, then Thule has you covered once more. Because of my really nice experience with their sleeves, I tried out the Thule Attaché case for the 15 inch MacBook Pro. This is a really nice bag and offers the same protection as the Gauntlet sleeve but additionally has plenty of space for accessories and chargers and keeps the laptop separate from these. You also have the option of working from the bag itself, quite useful in situations at airports and such locations, where you don’t want too much clutter when working for quick few minutes.

Storage:

Now let’s talk about storage. If you want fast and lightweight storage for you MacBook, you can’t go wrong with the excellent Samsung external SSDs, the T5 and its newer T7 cousin. I’ve used T5 1TB variant for a couple of years now and really enjoy the 540MB/Speeds it consistently delivers and do all of my video editing off this drive. The newer T7 offers double these speeds, but at some additional cost. Both are excellent and deserve a space in your laptop bag. And being solid state drives, they are not only very compact, but also extremely rugged when compared to a spinning hard drive.

Samsung external SSD T5

So this was all about accessories for on the go computing with your MacBook. Now let’s look at accessories that make your life easier when working at a desk. With these accessories you can seamlessly transform your MacBook into a proper workstation.

Display:

32 inch 4K Benq display

Well, the most obvious one on this desk is the main event, the 32 inch 4K Benq display. This is the Benq EW3280U 4K display. Don’t confuse it with the EW3270U, which is a VA panel display whilst this is the real deal, an IPS display, which you really need with such big displays for good viewing angles.

Also anything smaller than this, and you will not be effectively able to run this at native4K resolution. Everything becomes too small for reading comfortably and even this one, I use it a pixel doubled 2560x1440 resolution that provides retina-like sharpness and still plenty of screen real estate. As a bonus, this comes with the best speakers on a monitor and a subwoofer, meaning I’ve thrown away my external speakers now.

It’s not perfect though, and the new M1 MacBook do have number of issues with it. Also, even though it comes with a remote, I’ve found this Tobe very unresponsive. I still recommend this display simply because it is one of the few good IPS displays in 32 inch size and 4K resolution at this price point, at least in India and USA.

Stand:

Laptop stand from TARKAN

The other item here is a laptop stand from TARKAN. It is a 360 degree rotating stand that elevates you MacBook to a comfortable height and allows you to have the screen open of closed as per your choices. I wanted access to the Touch ID sensor, so didn’t want to use the MacBook in clamshell mode and this was really perfect for the purpose.

If you get the same design by a different manufacturer, by all means go for the best deal available, as most of these are made by the same supplier and then sold with different brand names.

Powerhouse:

Caldigit TS3 Plus dock

You can use the Caldigit TS3 Plus dock peeking for your MacBook, this is the powerhouse that has enabled me to have such a clean desk setup. The first distinction between this and the USB Type C hubs we spoke of earlier is that this is a Thunderbolt hub and is actively powered by its own big power brick. That means, not only does it not draw power from your MacBook, but it can charge the MacBook at up to a full 87 watts and power all number of other devices and have just a single, neat thunderbolt 3 cable running to your MacBook. Unfortunately in my case, my Benq Monitor doesn’t run at 60 hz refresh rate when connected via display port cable that this hub offers or even its own USB type C cable.

Belkin USB Type C to HDMI adapter

So I’ve had to add another accessory to the back of this hub, and that is Belkin USB Type C to HDMI adapter. This is a great accessory that allows running4K monitors at up to 60hz resolution and offers pass-through charging for a MacBook as well. It actually comes in two variants, but make sure you choose new one, and not the older one that doesn’t provide pass-through charging.

Thunderbolt dock:

Caldigit TS3 Plus thunderbolt dock

The Caldigit TS3 Plus thunderbolt dock has really replaced a number of devices form and offers the single cable convenience that I was looking for. The only thing going against it is the cost, it’s really expensive and its availability outside of the US and Canada is not great. But if money’s not an object, and you want the best hub for your MacBook, this is it.

Mechanical Keyboard:

TVS Gold Keyboard

Now this is a mechanical keyboard, the TVS Gold Keyboard, which is only available in India and is based on Cherry MX keys. If you’ve typed on a mechanical keyboard you will know how great they are for typing. The downside with this keyboard is its Windows layout keys. And also, if you’re used to typing on the excellent Magic Keyboards of the latest MacBook or even the iPad Pro, there is a lack of consistency when you switch to this keyboard, as the keys are differently sized and take some getting used to. For this reason, I recommend both this style of mechanical keyboard and Apple’s own Magic Keyboard. It will boil down to personal preference on this one.

Mouse:

Logitech MX Master 3 mouse

Once again, you see the excellent Logitech MX Master 3 mouse and it is right at home on this large Scarters mouse mat. It measures90x45 cms and offers a great base to work on and is spill proof and easily cleaned and also reversible and comes in different colours on both sides. It’s recently had a price cut and really great value at reduced prices.

Scarters mouse mat

Monitor Arm:

The other item you see here, is the excellent Amazon Basics monitor arm, which allows a range of movement for your monitor whilst keeping your desk clean. It also offers cable management for a clean look. I’m not using it currently as I like the look of my new Monitor’s base stand, but I do use it add an additional screen from time to time. I’ve done an in-depth review on this, so do check that out.

Amazon Basics monitor arm

External HDD:

Seagate Backup plus Portable 5TB external HDD

Now when you’re at a desk, portability is less important and when it comes to hard drives, space and capacity take precedent. Here are two excellent choices, one is the Seagate Backup plus Portable 5TB external HDD and second is the WD My Passport 4TB portable external hard drive. Both are USB 3.0 and have spinning drives inside them. They are both available for great prices around the world and availability is excellent on any local Amazon site. It’s a great way to dump large files and use for backing up your MacBook. And USB 3.0 speeds mean that they are not painfully slow when it comes to file transfers.

WD My Passport 4TB portable external hard drive

Extension Cable:

USB type C extension cable by Stouchi

USB type C extension cable by Stouchi that are tricky to find, also they are uni-directional, so you can plug them in the wrong way. They only work when connected in one orientation, so make sure you try both sides when you use them. But what it does offer is the ability to hide USB Type C hubs away for a clean desk setup. If you don’t want an expensive Thunderbolt hub, this maybe a good way to achieve port expansion whilst keeping your desk clean.

Cable Management Tray:

IKEA Signum cable management tray

Finally, this is the IKEA Signum cable management tray, plenty long and strong and adjustable. Also easy to install as will ensure your desk looks pristinely clean and cable clutter free.

Since it’s from a well-known brand, availability and quality is generally great around the world. Thanks for sticking by till the end and hopefully you will find something useful from these accessories for your own use case scenario. There are many other e-commerce website to get best gadgets for you like www.gadgetworldusa.com. Let me know in the comments section, which ones of these you have or are planning to get or if you have an alternative to any of them.

Thank you very much for reading this Article.

Would Docking Stations Hamper The Performance In Any Way?

One of the frequent concerns that customers who like to buy a USB C hub MacBook Pro have and express is whether using a docking station affect the performance of the docking station in any way? We see this question being asked in the online tech forums. Customers are desperate to know the answer before spending money on their docking station. It is better to put up with the minor hassle of connecting and reconnecting the peripherals to the laptop instead of slowing down the entire laptop.

The question we have is whether using a USB c docking station affect the performance of the laptop in any way. When you scout the web for answers, you would notice that at least some people have experienced this issue. The online forum discussions show that it is not something uncommon. However, you would also notice that this is not a widespread or a very common problem, which is really good news. At the same time, we cannot ignore the fact that such issues do exist.

There could be a number of reasons why some people face this issue. Here are some of the most common reasons for the occurrence of such issues. If you have been delivered a defective USB c docking station then it is bound to have such performance related issues. In order to find out where is the actual issue, you should try an identical docking station in the same environment to see whether you continue to face the issues. Order your docking station from the most trusted online stores so that you can be sure of the quality of the devices sold. Stay away from dubious stores and it will help you protect yourself from unnecessary issues.

If the power supply is low then it is observed that the performance of the laptop is affected when using the docking station. You may want to establish that the power output from the docking station is meeting the laptop’s power requirements.

At times the issues one experience with the performance is not actually triggered by the docking station but something else that they did at the same time. For example, you might have installed a new software application in your laptop or updated the device drivers to some incompatible drivers or any other such issue.

Poor maintenance of your laptop PC would also result in bad performance. Keep your laptop clutter free and keep to the laptop maintenance best practices to enjoy good performance of your laptop with or without the docking station. Before concluding that the performance issues are caused by the docking station, you should rule out all the other possibilities. If you happen to establish that the issues are due to the docking station then it is best to go for a replacement. When buying a docking station find devices that come with manufacturer warranty to safeguard your own customer interests and the money you spend on the device.

Best adapters for macbook pro 2016

#BEST ADAPTERS FOR MACBOOK PRO 2016 UPDATE#

#BEST ADAPTERS FOR MACBOOK PRO 2016 PORTABLE#

#BEST ADAPTERS FOR MACBOOK PRO 2016 PRO#

#BEST ADAPTERS FOR MACBOOK PRO 2016 BLUETOOTH#

#BEST ADAPTERS FOR MACBOOK PRO 2016 MAC#

If the adapters listed here aren't going to give you enough options, you may need a hub instead.ĭocking stations are designed for multi-display use with charging support.

#BEST ADAPTERS FOR MACBOOK PRO 2016 PORTABLE#

They also tend to be more portable because they're lighter and smaller (and don't usually need their own wall plug).

#BEST ADAPTERS FOR MACBOOK PRO 2016 PRO#

Hubs are designed to make your MacBook Pro more versatile, providing several different ports. My personal recommendation is to always have a USB-A-to-USB-C adapter like the one Apple sells on hand because that's the most commonly used cable for connecting peripherals to your computer. They're the least expensive but usually only do one thing. They are almost always a single-port changeover, like USB-C-to-USB-A or USB-to-Lightning, though sometimes they may have one or two additional ports, like HDMI. $45 at Nomad Adapter, hub, or docking station: Which one is right for you?Īdapters are the simplest peripherals for port versatility. It's 1.5 meters long and made out of kevlar, so you could throw it off the side of a cliff, and it'll still work like new to connect your devices to your MacBook Pro. It's my favorite adapter cable, and I take it with me on all my trips. It also supports USB-C PD (power delivery) at up to 100 watts. If you're looking for a wider variety of USB-C PD adapters that are powerful enough to charge laptops, check out our list of the best USB-C PD chargers of 2022.This universal cable is made of kevlar and has three connector options USB-A, USB-C, and micro-USB. And remember, you'll need compatible cables, too (see below). Opt for 18 to 30 watts for charging phones, tablets and other small devices, but you'll need to step up to a 60-watt or more "PD" (power delivery) charger for most laptops. Wall chargersįirst things first: Moving from USB-A to USB-C on your wall charger can often mean topping off the battery for your device is done with a considerably faster charging speed. A quick note, though: I'm talking purely USB-C charging, not data transfer, so I'm not going into all the USB-C accessories like docking stations, HDMI adapters, SD card readers and network dongles. Almost all of these USB devices and cables can be found on Amazon.

#BEST ADAPTERS FOR MACBOOK PRO 2016 UPDATE#

Here's a look at some of the best USB C accessories I've been testing, which I'll update periodically. The 20 iPad Pro models use USB-C, so perhaps future Apple products will be able to benefit from USB-C ubiquity, but Apple didn't make the jump with its iPhone 11 or iPhone SE.įor those who want to be part of the future, USB-C (formally called USB Type-C) accessories can help you make the switch from old-style USB Type-A. Airports, airplanes, hotels, cars and other charging locations rarely offer USB-C charging ports, so there you'll need your charger and a power plug.Īnd iPhones and most iPads still use Apple's proprietary Lightning connector. Older or cheaper devices often use older USB connectors, so we're still a long way from one universal port. There are still problems moving from the earlier rectangular USB-A ports on PCs for two decades and from the smaller USB Micro B ports. Its biggest advantage: much smaller chargers. With older USB devices, charging was a convenient afterthought useful only for phones, but the USB Power Delivery technology - you'll often see "PD" on accessory boxes and port labeling - can reach up to 100 watts, enough for high-end laptops.Īnother acronym to learn is GaN, short for the gallium arsenide chipmaking technology used in power electronics.

#BEST ADAPTERS FOR MACBOOK PRO 2016 MAC#

"USB-C is a truly universal connector for data, power and video, and it works across all device platforms from Mac to PC, iOS to Android, smartphone to computers," said Sanho Chief Executive Daniel Chin, whose company has aggressively pushed to take advantage of USB-C with a range of power and data accessories.Īnother big USB-C benefit is that more powerful devices, like a laptop, can charge smaller ones like a smartphone, giving you a juice boost to bail you out when you can't find a power plug. If you're on the go, you can move your laptop charging cable over to your phone and back to keep both devices' batteries topped up. No more do you need lots of different chargers for lots of different devices (goodbye, Micro-USB!). That means one charger or one battery pack can be useful in a multitude of circumstances.

#BEST ADAPTERS FOR MACBOOK PRO 2016 BLUETOOTH#

Increasingly, it can charge things like Bluetooth wireless earbuds, mice, Nintendo game controllers and MiFi portable hotspots. The biggest reason is that USB-C can charge both your phone and your laptop - at least if you have an Apple MacBook, Google Chromebook Pixel, or a higher-end model from Dell and HP. But the updated design is leading to a profusion of new products to charge your gadgets. The move from old-style USB ports to the newer USB-C has had its share of growing pains.

Best monitors for macbook pro 2016

Best monitors for macbook pro 2016 full#

Best monitors for macbook pro 2016 pro#

Best monitors for macbook pro 2016 tv#

Best monitors for macbook pro 2016 windows#

It's fairly expensive, though, and doesn't offer Thunderbolt hub connections, which would be welcome for this kind of money.

Best monitors for macbook pro 2016 full#

You've got full ergonomic control with tilt, pivot, height and swivel, and USB-C connectivity makes it easy to dock and undock with – and further USB connectivity is great for using it as a hub. However, it might still be a lot more screen than you really want (or can fit, in some compact home offices!).

Best monitors for macbook pro 2016 tv#

34 inches might sound imposing, but it's not quite as hefty as a 32-inch TV – it's more like a 27-inch screen that's been stretched sideways. It's almost like a two-monitor setup in a single screen, but with just the one stand taking up space on your desktop. That means it offers better-than-4K resolution, and for productivity, this can't be beaten. Oh, and it's ultrawide – can't forget that.

Best monitors for macbook pro 2016 pro#

On top of that, it supports 98% of the P3 colour gamut, so is an ideal match for the MacBook Pro in that regard too. Its average brightness is close to the MacBook Pro's (450 nits to the MacBook's 500), and it can actually handle HDR video from compatible sources, peaking at 600 nits, which is better than most pro monitors. If you want a monitor with the same dazzle and ambition as an Apple screen, this is our pick. The connectors we'd like it to have that it doesn't are ethernet and Thunderbolt, but there's a 27-inch Philips 4K monitor also in our list that offers ethernet – see our Dell U2720Q vs Philips 279P1 guide for how these screens compare.īe sure to check our Dell discount codes to save on your purchase. There are three more USB 3 ports on board, along with a second USB-C port, so it's great as a dock for accessories, as well as a display. That's enough to keep a 16-inch MacBook Pro charged even while running at full pelt. You can connect to it over USB-C, providing all power, video and data needs – and it delivers up to 90W of power, which not all USB-C screens do. It has height, tilt, pivot and swivel ergonomic adjustments, for example, so it's easy to make sure that you're working in a healthy way. This excels in practical details as well as visual ones.

Best monitors for macbook pro 2016 windows#

27 inches is a great size – it gives you a lot of space to have windows side by side, but will still fit on a small desk without looking ridiculous. Its detailed 4K 27-inch display is beautifully sharp and offers P3 wide colour support, just like the MacBook's Retina display. This monitor is a perfect pairing with your MacBook Pro. It checks basically every box that MacBook Pro users have, and though it's by no means cheap, it's still a very reasonable price for its features.įor a budget option, check out the ViewSonic VP2458, which doesn't include USB-C (no surprise for its price), but does deliver accurate colours on its 1920x1080 screen, is a compact 24-inch size, and offers full ergonomic adjustments so you can be totally comfortable and set up properly. It has a USB hub built in, and offers 90W power delivery over USB-C, which means it can charge even the 16-inch MacBook Pro. Overall, our pick is the Dell U2720Q, which offers detailed 4K resolution, great colour accuracy (including support for the P3 colour gamut, just like the MacBook Pros), full ergonomic adjustments, and a 27-inch size that's manageable on just about any desk, from home office to business premises. Which is the best monitor for MacBook Pro? And don't forget our guide to the best external hard drives for Mac, if you need more storage or a great way to back up. We've also got our guide to the best MacBook Pro deals to save you money on your Mac. It's only really our budget picks that don't – we consider it a priority if you're spending any big money on a MacBook monitor. Obviously, they can't all be elite pro MacBook monitors, but we expect them all to have a strong colour gamut support with great colour accuracy, to have a zippy response time, and to have good viewing angles so that it's easy to know that what you're seeing is correct.Īll of the current (and recent) MacBook Pros come with USB-C ports as their main connectivity option – whether that's the MacBook Pro 13-inch (M1, 2021) or the MacBook Pro 14-inch & 16-inch (2021) (or, indeed, the MacBook Air M1) – which means they can send data and power over a single convenient cable, so we'll highlight which monitors have this. We've picked MacBook monitors that balance as many of them as possible, so you can find the screen that prioritises what you want the most.īut one thing we won't compromise on is screen quality. The best one of the best monitors for MacBook Pro, a screen doesn't have to check all of these boxes – that's pretty hard to do if the screen is also going to be affordable.

What's the difference between a USB-C hub and a USB-C adapter? However, if you're looking to dock your MacBook or laptop and run a high definition display through your USB-C adapter, you might want to think about putting some more money on the table for high speed ports, pass-through charging, and cable management. If you're looking to expand ports for USB devices or micro-SD cards and you don't need an ultra-low latency connection a $30 - $40 adapter will easily suffice. The right device for you will largely depend on how you plan to use your USB-C hub. While shopping for cheap USB-C adapters, you'll find many hubs and docks offer different things for your cash. If running multiple high resolution monitors at once is a key requirement on your Dell laptop, the D6000 USB-C hub is the one to go for. The D6000 looks firmly towards the future for display options by ditching the VGA port and instead focusing on support for up to three HD/4K monitors, or one 5K monitor - all running at a smooth 60fps. It can be used on old and new laptops thanks to an adapter on the connection cable allowing it to connect via the newer USB-C port, or a legacy USB-A slot.

So on the models above we've included a list of all the ports included along with technical specifications on read speeds and displays supported so you can be sure you're getting what you want. However, you'll find various manufacturers throwing words like 'adapter', 'hub' and 'dock' around with reckless abandon, often making it difficult to search for something for your exact needs.

BEST DONGLES FOR MACBOOK PRO FULL

We've thought about everything, factoring in how each model will perform when being used at home or out-and-about. More about this storyĮvery product in this list has been assessed thoroughly to ensure it will perform exactly as a recommended pick should. Hubs that are designed to live in one spot tend to be larger and heavier devices that are less likely to get knocked around on your desk, whereas hubs designed for life on the move tend to be lighter, smaller and easier to take with you. Different hubs are designed with different use cases in mind, and opting for the wrong one could leave you with a pretty inconvenient device. At home or on the go?įinally, it's important to think about whether your hub will be used exclusively at home or if will you want to take it out with you too. If you're used to charging with a 100W charger and your hub only supports 65W, it will charge much slower or may not even be compatible at all.

If you opt for a hub that offers power delivery, it's important to check the wattage it supports in order to get the full benefit. Of course, if you have multiple USB-C ports, you could use one for charging and one for the hub, which might save some cash too. If your laptop charges by USB-C then you might want to look for a hub that offers USB-C power delivery pass through. If you'll be plugging in something that requires a high transfer speed, such as an external SSD, then you'll want to pay particular attention to the speeds offered by the hub, but for things like mice and keyboards, it won't matter as much. In that case, you'd look for a hub with HDMI output, at least two USB ports and a 3.5mm audio socket. We'd recommend thinking about all the devices you're likely to need to plug in at once and making sure that your chosen hub has all the required ports.įor example, a typical home office setup might include a monitor, a keyboard, a mouse and a headset or speakers. It's a fairly simple one, but it can be incredibly easy to overlook a port if you're not careful. If you need a bit more help narrowing down the options, here are some things that we recommend thinking about before choosing a hub. Since they may be the right fit for some people, however, we've listed them below.Ĭhoosing a quality USB-C hub can be quite an overwhelming task, especially with such a variety of ports, styles and standards on offer. In all of our roundups, there are also many products we test that don't make the final cut. We don't just take into account our own testing, either, but also consumer reviews, brand quality and value. No matter the subject area, we always consider a range of factors when it comes to recommending devices - and apply the same process before a new device enters our top five selections. When initially deciding what we believe to be the best USB-C hubs currently available, we spent hours testing and researching. It'll let you hook up memory cards, an HDMI cable and two USB-A cables, which might not be the most cutting-edge range of options, but is likely to be more than enough for a lot of people who just want a couple of extra ports to play around with. Apple's own official USB-C dongle, for example, only has three ports, but it represents pretty poor value compared to this option from Anker. Some people won't be on the lookout for dozens of ports in one hub, though - a simple little dongle might just be all they need. However, we also think it's worth checking out the Moshi Symbus Mini, Kingston Nucleum USB-C adapter, Belkin USB-C 4-Port Mini Hub and the Anker USB C Hub Adapter 5-in-1. What are the best USB-C hubs? Our top recommendation is the Twelve South StayGo. These devices let you hook your laptop or tablet up to a whole variety of accessories and other devices, making them a must for anyone working from home or looking to have the option to do so more comfortably. That's why we've rounded up some amazing hubs for you to take a look at. If you've only got one port to play with, doing things like charging and passing your display to a monitor at the same time can be a nightmare. Best cheap home printer: The best printers for documents and photos.Whether it's charging, display connections or any number of peripherals, it's a port that lets you do it all, but one downside to the revolution it's brought with it has been that some laptops and tablets have taken the opportunity to make it the only port they come with. (Pocket-lint) - USB-C is a wonderful thing - it's taken a fair amount of time for the standard to truly spread around the industry, but now more laptops and computers than ever ship with USB-C ports that can be used for all manner of things.
