HyperDrive USB Type-C 5-in-1 Hub – 20% off
The new MacBooks are here, and by getting rid of every connection except for USB-C they’ve innovated many of your most-used devices obsolete. Instead of buying all of the necessary dongles, you can just get a HyperDrive — it plugs right into the existing USB-C plug to add an SDXC, microSDXC, two USB 3.0, and a USB Type-C port, all on one simple bar. You can even charge your laptop straight through the hub, and the whole thing is colored and textured to blend in perfectly with your MacBook.
Buy now: Get a Hyperdrive USB-C hub for $39.95, that’s a 20 percent discount.
