Most Mac laptops, as well as Apple’s (kinda) laptop alternative, the iPad Pro, have a dearth of ports. You can expand that number with Satechi’s USB-C On-the-Go Multiport Adapter, which features nine ports with a plug-and-play design.
Its aluminum-finished body packs built-in USB-C PD charging (up to 100W), Gigabit Ethernet, a USB-C data port, two USB-A data ports, and micro/SD card reader slots. The adapter also features a 4K HDMI port (up to 60Hz) and a VGA port (up to 1080p 60Hz) that provide more display, projector, and presentation possibilities.
With the US$99.99 USB-C On-the-Go Multiport Adapter you can attach wired mice, keyboards, USB hard drives, and more. The adapter comes with two detachable cables. The short, travel-friendly cable tucks directly into the adapter for easy storage, while the longer, 3-foot cable is best for working at a desktop.
Of course, the problem with any such adapter is that it’s possible to damage it or the iPad/Mac to which it’s attached if the connected cable is suddenly yanked or pulled in the wrong direction.
That is a concern. Otherwise, the Satechi adapter is an easy recommend.
