If you’ve ever found yourself struggling with a cheap USB hub, you’re going to want to give UGREEN’s USB solutions a shot. The data transfer rate that they’re capable of almost makes it feel like there’s no middleman involved at all. They also come in pretty much every combination that you can think of.
Today, we’re going to take a closer look at two of UGREEN’s newest all-in-one USB hubs, both of them perfect for artists and those working in media. We image that this is what falling in love feels like.
Who Is UGREEN?
UGREEN’s approach to tech is one we can get behind heartily—the brand’s ethos is one of simplicity. The founding members of its board believe that technology should serve those who use it, not the other way around.
In this spirit, one of the broadest categories that you can browse on UGREEN’s site is the brand’s collection of USB hubs. They’re all convenient and stylish solutions to the eternal dilemma that laptop manufacturers across the board have dealt us: two USB hubs, take it or leave it.
Those who work in tech or media will likely be more than familiar with this quandary. Two UGREEN products that we can recommend heartily are the updated versions of the company’s infamous 6-in-1 and 7-in-1 USB-C adapters, both of which have absolutely rocked our worlds. They even read SD cards.
The UGREEN 6-in-1 USB-C Multifunction Adapter
This USB hub is perfect if you use a laptop or a Chromebook and USB real estate is a closely-guarded commodity. From now until November 29th, you can save 28 percent on this 6-in-1 device with offer code BFOFFD10. $21.59 is a small price to pay for the comfort of a well-managed work area, and we want you to capitalize.
UGREEN adapters are optimized for multi-tasking; this means that you can use every single port at once, without worrying about the rest lagging behind. This device includes the following:
3 USB-A 3. 0 ports 1 HDMI port 1 TF card slot 1 SD card slot
If you’re one who works in media, this setup is already starting to make a whole lot of sense—a slot for your mouse, your keyboard, an external monitor, and all of your media.
Both of these card slots are capable of a simultaneous 104 MB/s transfer rate. The USB-C connector uniting it with your computer supports a transfer rate of up to 5 GB/s. We guarantee that you’ll never be left waiting for anything.
This device can also be used to stream directly from your computer. It’s rated for 3D and 4K UHD; jack in a projector and your Saturday evening movie marathon is set.
Editor’s Choice: The UGREEN 7-in-1 USB-C Multifunction Adapter
The 7-in-1 adapter gives you nearly all of the above, and then some:
2 USB-A 3. 0 ports 1 HDMI port 1 USB-C port 1 RJ45 port 1 TF card slot 1 SD card slot
This version comes with a little bit more of a professional kick. The included RJ45 Ethernet port will likely be a selling point for both gamers and those who regularly rely on peer-to-peer data transfer. With offer code BFOFFD10, you’ll knock 28 percent off of the sticker price. $31.11 for the ultimate stocking stuffer? You bet your sweet tuckus.
Just like with the 6-in-1, you’ve got plenty of room for peripheral accessories, including a USB-C port. Just what the doctor ordered.
How Did We Ever Live Without These Things?
Honestly? These things have changed our lives. It took us forty-five minutes after unboxing them to make a pact with ourselves. We never want to be without either of these multifunction adapters again.
Around here, we’re always running out of USB ports; if you’re anything like us, you’re nearly always in want of somewhere warm and safe to jack in. These hubs are as useful as they are dangerously handsome. They make for a slick addition to any desktop, and they’ll earn their keep, too.
