If you’re in the market for a new MacBook, you’d better also be in the market for some accessories. The newest version of Apple’s flagship laptops have decided USB C is all you need — and if you need some other format like standard USB or SDXC (which, of course, you will), then you’ll have to buy a special dongle. Well we’ve got a solution that’s less expensive and less frustrating — the HyperDrive a single device that expands your single USB-C port into five others. And right now you can get it for just $39.95 at Cult of Mac Deals.

HyperDrive’s hub plugs right into the USB Type-C port and expands it into an SDXC, a microSDXC, 2 USB 3.0 ports, opening the computer up to syncing cables, camera cords, flash drives, microSD cards, and more. Plus there’s an extra USB Type-C port so you won’t lose that option either. All of this is contained in a single, sleek bar that blends perfectly with your MacBook’s color and finish. You can even charge your MacBook right through the hub, making this the most sensible solution to Apple’s, um, “forward-thinking” changes.

Buy now: Get the HyperDrive USB-C hub for $39.95, that’s 20 percent off the usual price.
