I just got a new laptop. It has a USB-C port. A lot of them do, in fact. Now, I think USB-C is a good thing. It’s a better connector, easier to put in, and it does a lot more. I’m not here to sell you on the benefits of USB-C, as you probably agree with me. My problem is, as much as I like USB-C I have no real use for it on my computer. All my accessories still use the USB-A connector. I could buy a simple adapter, but there’s a better way.
This is our Tech Choice USB Hub adapter. It’s perfect for people like me who never have enough ports. Instead of just turning that USB-C port into a USB-A port, you get a ton more. If the port itself will accept power in, you can use that through this adapter. You also get one USB-C port and two high-speed USB 3.1 type A ports. Add to that the ability to use a monitor (depending on your computer, this may give you the ability to support 2 monitors), as well as a card reader that supports both SD and MicroSD (TF). You even get an Ethernet port. This little adapter is a powerhouse!
Who needs an adapter like this?
Here’s a funny thing. The more expensive your laptop is, the more likely it is that you’ll need something like this. Today’s super-sexy laptops are slim and cool, but that comes at the expense of ports. Some Apple laptops have only one USB-C port after you use the charger to connect to the other one! That’s great for people who essentially use them as a giant Chromebook but for people who do more than that… it’s a deal-breaker!
It’s really a “must-have” for creatives because those folks need to transfer things from their cameras quickly. A lot of laptops are coming without built-in SD card readers now, and that can create big bottlenecks, just when you don’t need them.
A little hub like this can fit into a pocket of your laptop bag or just hang in a drawer until you need it. It takes up practically no space and it does so much. It restores a lot of the function that older laptops had by themselves. It’s like having your cake and eating it too.
This adapter takes its power from your computer so you don’t even need another power cord. You can plug it in when you need it, take it away when you don’t. It’s even designed to match the look of today’s higher-end laptops. What could be better?
