For many people, a modern USB-C hub is a handy accessory for working efficiently on the go. Whether in the home office, on the move, or in the office, a multi-port adapter significantly improves the connection options of laptops, tablets, or smartphones.
It’s especially useful for devices with only a few ports, like many ultrabooks or Macbooks. A USB-C hub offers a compact solution for several requirements at the same time: data transfer, video output, charging, and access to SD cards.
The latest model from Ugreen expands a single USB-C port with seven additional interfaces, and is currently available for just $15.58. That’s a savings of 32 percent. The dock is extremely popular on Amazon, with over 1,000 orders in the last month alone and a very good rating of 4.6 stars.
What the USB-C hub from Ugreen has to offer
The USB-C hub accommodates the most important ports in one device: an HDMI connection (up to 4K at 30 hertz), two USB-A 3.0 ports, a USB-C 3.0 port, a card reader for SD and microSD cards, and a USB-C port for Power Delivery with up to 100 watts of charging power.
This lets you charge a MacBook or iPad, connect to a monitor, and transfer files from a camera or SD card–all without needing extra adapters. Data transfer speeds over USB-A and USB-C can hit up to five gigabits per second, so even big files move fast. The card reader can transfer around 100 photos in less than 10 seconds.
The broad compatibility is practical: the hub supports nearly all common USB-C devices–including smartphones like the iPhone 16 and iPhone 15 series, MacBook Pro and Air (with M3 and M4 chips), iPad Pro and Air, Windows laptops like the Surface Pro, Android models such as the Galaxy S24, and handheld PCs like the Steam Deck.

Important to know: The USB-C data port only supports data transfer–no video output or device charging. On the flip side, the power delivery port is just for charging and doesn’t handle data transfer.
Why this deal is worth it
With a recommended retail price of $23, the current price of $15.58 is significantly lower. For a solid 7-in-1 device with good user ratings (4.6 out of 5 stars from over 6,000 reviews), this is a great price.
Overall, customers are happy with the USB-C hub’s performance and build quality. They especially praise its reliable SD and microSD card reading and the solid metal construction. The wide range of ports in a compact design also gets a lot of positive feedback.
