Satechi Aluminum Type-C Multimedia Adapter

Designed in tandem with Apple technology

When Apple brought the USB-C port onto the scene, the guys at Satechi in the US immediately knew which way the wind was blowing and quickly became one of the leading manufacturers of accessories for Apple laptops and computers. Their Aluminium Type-C Multimedia Adapter is the brains behind the MacBook, turning it into a full-fledged desktop, allowing you to connect additional power, a second monitor, a router, a printer, and a bunch of other peripherals. And it doesn't take up much space in your backpack when you need to get mobile again.

2 monitor outputs

The hub connects to a Mac and any other laptop with Power Delivery support using a USB-C port. In exchange for one busy port, it gives 4 additional connectors for connecting peripherals. One of them is USB-C, the rest of the trinity are regular USB A (class 3.2 gen1). Further more. A bundle of HDMI and Mini DisplayPort makes it possible to connect a compact laptop to a large external display, transmitting a picture in high quality 4K. However the refresh rate at this resolution will be only 30 Hz, against the standard 60 Hz.

Rugged and stylish aluminium body

The Satechi Aluminium Type-C Multimedia Adapter is also equipped with a built-in card reader and a LAN connector for direct connection to the network. Moreover, the LAN port here is gigabit, which is great when you need fast Internet, and Wi-Fi broadcast is littered with a bunch of connected equipment. Given that all this goodness is packed into a durable, stylish and fairly compact aluminium case, the official price of $ 99 for such an assistant, although it bites, looks quite reasonable.
