Macbook Hubs for All Your Accessories
New Macbooks only come with USB-C ports.
Need to use a flash drive? You’ll need an adapter.
Want to connect to an external monitor? You’ll need another adapter.
Have a better webcam you’d like to use? You guessed it - you’ll need an adapter.
Want to connect some better speakers? That’s too bad. You ran out of ports to plug adapters into.
What you need is a hub - one adapter that all your peripherals and accessories can be plugged into. Let’s look at some of the best ones that Amazon has to offer.
Dockteck 7-in-1 Hub
Dockteck has put out a great product here. It will only take up one of your USB-C ports and will give you 7 ports to plug into.
Here’s what you get:
- A USB-C port - to make up for the one the hub is using
- An HDMI port
- An ethernet port
- An SD card reader
- A micro-SD card reader
- 2 USB-A ports
That’s a ton of value in such a small package.
If you are planning to connect your laptop to the internet via an ethernet cable, this hub may be the best choice for you.
At the time of this writing, it has a 4.5 ⭐️ rating out of 1,644 ratings, so you know you’re getting a quality product.
Purgo 7-in-2 Hub
Right away you’ll notice a different design from the Dockteck hub. Instead of 1 USB-C port, you are taking up 2 USB-C ports.
Look again at the design. Notice that this hub does not attach by cable. Rather, it attaches directly to the side of your Macbook. It has a sleek, modern design that will blend right in with your computer.
This design is specifically made to fit 2018+ Macbook Airs and 2016+ Macbook Pros.
Let’s get into the details. Here are the ports you get on this hub:
- An HDMI port
- A Thunderbolt 3 port
- A USB-C port (data only)
- 2 USB-A 3.1 ports
- An SD card reader
- A micro-SD card reader
This one also tends to run a little less expensive than the Dockteck hub.
At the time of this writing, it has a 4.5 ⭐️ rating out of 6,550 ratings. Solid numbers all around.
MOKiN 8-in-2 Hub
In terms of design, this hub combines aspects of the Dockteck and the Purgo. It uses 2 USB-C ports and attaches to the laptop via a cable.
Since it uses 2 USB-C ports, it is compatible with the same models as the Purgo hub - 2018+ Macbook Airs and 2016+ Macbook Pros.
Looking at the specs, though, one specific advantage will pop out for this hub.
- 3 USB-A 3.0 ports
- 2 HDMI ports
- A Thunderbolt 3 port
- An SD card reader
- A micro-SD card reader
That’s right, this hub comes with 2 HDMI ports. If you want to connect 2 external monitors to your laptop without taking up all your ports, this hub may be the ticket for you.
It is reasonably priced and well-rated, holding a 4.5 ⭐️ rating out of 1,368 ratings at the time of this writing.
MOKiN 12-in-2 Hub
Do you need to plug literally everything into your Macbook? MOKiN has you covered.
This hub will use 2 USB-C ports and give you 12 ports to plug into. Here’s what you get:
- 2 HDMI ports
- 2 USB-A 3.0 ports
- 2 USB-A 2.0 ports
- A USB-C port
- A 3.5mm audio port
- An ethernet port
- A VGA port (because why not?)
- An SD card reader
- A micro-SD card reader
I think this was designed to be the end-all-be-all hub for your Macbook. If you need a lot of peripherals and accessories running at the same time, this is the hub for you.
Customers love it, giving it a 4 ⭐️ rating out of 2,927 ratings.
