A good hub is typically small and lightweight to match the portability of a laptop, and is perfect for professionals who are constantly on the move. While many laptops may already sport multiple ports - from USB-C and HDMI 2.0 to the most recent Thunderbolt 4 connectivity - many of the best laptops sacrifice these for a more stylish, lightweight form factor (we’re looking at you, MacBook Air and Dell XPS 13).Ī USB-C hub is mainly used to expand the number of ports on your laptop and is generally powered by the laptop itself. Both have been designed to extend the range of peripherals your laptop can connect to. The difference between these two connectors is, when it comes down to it, minuscule.
