Many thin laptops have just one USB-C port and no other ports, which makes them hard to connect to multiple devices. A little adapter will fix that. The UGREEN USB-C Hub 5-in-1 Multiport USB Adapter lets you connect multiple things to your USB-C-enabled device with a single cable.
The UGREEN USB-C Hub 5-in-1 Multiport USB Adapter is currently marked down to just $12 on Amazon, down from its regular price of $16. That knocks $4 off, or 25%.
A five-port USB-C hub with HDMI output and 100W pass-through charging
This adapter has five different options. The first option lets you connect to a monitor, TV, or projector via HDMI. Next are three additional USB-A ports that let you connect older peripherals. The last port is a USB-C Power Delivery port that lets your computer keep charging while everything else is connected. Just plug a single cable into your USB-C-enabled device, and you’re good to go.
With this product, the HDMI port supports up to 4K at 30Hz. This should be fine for displaying movies, presentations, and spreadsheets onto a larger screen. You can either mirror your laptop’s display or use it as a second display with an extended desktop. If you need to send lower resolutions like 1080p, it’ll work great for those older displays and monitors.
It has three USB-A ports. One is a high-speed USB 3.0 port at up to 5Gbps, and it’s perfect for attaching an external hard drive or USB thumb drives filled with hundreds of pictures. The remaining two ports are standard USB 2.0 ports, perfect for attaching keyboards, mice, and wireless receivers.
The Power Delivery port will pass through up to 100W of power from your wall charger to your computer. So you don’t lose a valuable charging port because you need to connect the rest of your equipment. For example, if you’re using a MacBook or another USB-C laptop or tablet, you can still charge it even when you’ve used the hub to connect all your other gear.
Travel is one area where a hub like this really shines! Many hotel TVs have an HDMI input, so when you get to your room, you can plug in your laptop and show your presentation or movie on the large screen without spending hours searching the lobby for an HDMI adapter. Many conference rooms also have large screens and projectors, and these often require an HDMI connector, so you can easily connect your laptop and present to the audience. You can also plug borrowed flash drives or old wired mice directly into the hub.
The build quality holds up to daily trips in your bag. The housing is aluminum alloy, and the cable wrap is braided nylon. The UGREEN USB-C Hub 5-in-1 Multiport USB Adapter works with many devices, including MacBooks, iPad Pro, Surface devices, Galaxy tablets, and pretty much any other tablet or laptop that uses a USB-C connector. No driver installation is required, and it carries a minimum two-year warranty from UGREEN.
