Satechi is a US company that makes handy accessories designed to make everyday life with laptops and computers more convenient. The latest product to come off the Satechi drawing board is the new Satechi Pro Hub Slim. This new hub joins Satechi’s existing Pro Hub Max and Pro Hub Mini range. It has a slim profile and can extend the connectivity of Apple’s latest M2 MacBooks.
Featuring a fully functional USB4 port, 4K HDMI port, a second USB-C data port, USB-A data ports, and SD and microSD card slots. These are the essential ports that most laptop users need, although there are no Ethernet or analog audio connections. The Pro Hub Slim offers high-speed data transfer speeds and can extend a user’s workspace connectivity to make Apple’s M2 MacBook more useful.
Once the hub is slotted into the MacBook’s two USB Type-C ports, the Satechi Pro Hub Slim provides seven essential connections. There are dual USB-A data ports for supporting legacy peripherals at speeds of up to 10 Gbps. For connecting a second screen, there’s a 4K HDMI port that offers refresh rates up to 60Hz. For users of digital cameras and audio devices, the hub also includes memory card slots for both SD and microSD cards, with support for UHS-I data transfer speeds up to 104 MB/s.
In addition to the two USB-A and single HDMI ports, the hub also has a USB4 pass-through port that supports up to 100W charging and can drive an external monitor at resolutions up to 6K at 60Hz. The USB 4 port also supports up to 40 Gbps data transfer speeds. In addition, a USB-C data port can support data transfer speeds up to 10 Gbps.
Thanks to its plug-and-play design, the Pro Hub Slim easily slots into an Apple M2 MacBook, but it will also work with any MacBook made since 2017 and doesn’t require additional drivers or software installation.
The new Satechi Pro Hub Slim is available in three colorways to match the latest MacBooks: Midnight, Space Gray or Silver.
Pricing & Availability: Satechi’s Pro Hub Slim is available now on satechi.net for $79.99 in Midnight, Space Gray, and Silver with 20% off using code SLIM20 until February 3.
