The Best USB-C Hub

USB-C hubs and docks let you hook your old stuff up to your new stuff. If you have a new, USB-C–based computer—whether it includes a USB-C port among its other ports or, like Apple’s MacBook models or the newest Dell XPS 13, it has nothing but USB-C ports—and you still need to connect flash drives, printers, Ethernet, a display, or any other accessories you already own, a USB-C hub or dock will let you hook up multiple peripherals to a single USB-C port at once. Some models are ideal for tossing in your bag, while others are better for leaving plugged into everything at your desk. Hubs, as opposed to USB-C Docks, are very portable. The are usually perfectly small enough to fit inside a laptop bag, a backpack, purse, etc. They also don't need to powered to operate, unlike USB or Thunderbolt docks. However, USB-C hubs tend to have less ports than a dock. If you’re looking for a more-powerful desktop docking option and your computer’s USB-C ports also support Thunderbolt 3, you might consider a Thunderbolt 3 dock, which can connect to more monitors and transfer data faster. If you’re just looking for a way to get more USB-C ports, well, unfortunately you’re out of luck; there's not any USB-C hubs that add extra USB-C ports. If you need access to ports, but not that many, and you are constantly on the go, then this list of USB-C Hubs is for you!
