Don’t buy a separate stand and hub for your iPad until you check out the Zagg 6-port Media Hub that launched Wednesday. Add an HDMI port, a USB-A port and more to your tablet without taking up any more space on your desktop than a stand alone would.
Plus, it got a big brother: the Zagg Pro Dock is a stand for MacBooks with 10 ports, including dual HDMI and Ethernet.
These are part of a collection of new hubs from Zagg with a range of port options.
Zagg 6-Port Media Hub for iPad
Put the Zagg 6-Port Media Hub on your desktop, flip open the stand, place your iPad in the slot, and you’re ready to enjoy a movie. Across the front are a set of media controls that make starting, stopping and jumping through video or audio a snap. For more enjoyment, plug a large screen into the HDMI port that supports 4K at 60Hz. There’s a 3.5mm audio jack for speakers.
Or use the hub to get to work. It offers a USB-A port for accessing legacy accessories and a USB-C port to keep the iPad charged. There are also paired SD and microSD card readers.
When you’re finished, the whole ensemble folds to be portable.
The Zagg 6-Port Media Hub launched Wednesday at $99.99.

The 6-Port Media Hub enhances your tablet with six ports: HDMI, USB-C PD, USB-A, SD card reader, micro SD card reader, and an audio jack. All these ports allow you to do things like add another screen to your set-up, transfer data quickly between devices, enjoy music and videos, or even charge multiple devices at once. The 6-Port Media Hub also comes with media buttons, making it easy to play music and more, while you work.

Zagg calls the new Pro Dock a “game-changer for serious professionals.” It’s a stand for a MacBook with two USB-C ports, two USB-A ports, an SD card reader and a 3.5mm audio jack in the base. But that’s only the start. A “satellite hub” adds two HDMI ports, a USB-C port, and an Ethernet port. The separate hub allows these cables to be hidden away.
A 150-watt power supply provides plenty of juice for the MacBook and all the attached accessories.
The Zagg Pro Dock also launched on Wednesday. It costs $399.99.
