Getting online, you want to make as sure as possible that you’re not being snooped on, or vulnerable to theft.

The more devices we get, the more crowded and complicated the power situation becomes. Wall outlets can quickly become a tangle of wires, plugs and adapters, which is more than unsightly — it’s unsafe.

If you’re in the market for a new MacBook, you’d better also be in the market for some accessories.

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.
