Hands-on with the Hyper Duo Pro USB-C hub for MacBooks
For me, I particularly enjoy having quick access to USB-A, because I still have quite a few accessories that utilize that port. I also appreciate the retractable gigabit Ethernet port which give me access to a fast and stable network connection. And don’t sleep on the MicroSD slot, I’ve found it particularly handy for quickly offloading footage shot with a drone or action camera.
True, this hub is an ideal fit for the new MacBook Pro, but the Hyper USB-C hub is also compatible with any USB-C iPad, Chromebook, or PC, because it includes a flexible USB-C adapter, which allows it to connect to even more devices.
