#BEST USB HUB FOR PC 2018 FULL#
It delivers full Gigabit speed, it comes from a reputable company, and it's inexpensive. If you need only an Ethernet connection, we like the Cable Matters USB Type-C to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter.
But its lack of passthrough power makes it a poor choice if your computer has only one or two USB-C ports, as the MacBook does. It's a straightforward plastic adapter with four full-speed USB 3.0 ports. If you just need more USB 3.0 ports for flash drives, keyboards, mice, and other low-power accessories, Aukey's USB C to 4-Port USB 3.1 Gen 1 Hub (CB-C64) is the best option we tested, and the least expensive. We think the Vava's more versatile port selection, smaller size, and better build quality are worth paying for, but the Dodocool is a good option if you need something less expensive. The only downside is that the Ethernet port hinges open, a design that saves space but is more likely to break than a standard Ethernet port.įor about half the price of the Vava, Dodocool's 6-in-1 Multifunction USB-C Hub offers performance similar to that of our top pick as well as an extra USB-A port, but it lacks SD and microSD card readers and an Ethernet port. It's powerful enough to leave at your desk full-time as a docking station but small enough to slip in your laptop bag and use on the go.
