Satechi Mini Docking Station If you like your accessories with a bit more style than the $10 USB hubs at the bargain bin, then you'll appreciate Satechi's sleek docking station.

There are plenty of cheap docks that you can use to reinforce your laptop with as many ports as you need. If you want one with same sleek looks as your MacBook or Windows ultraportable, however, then those $10 docks at the electronics bargain bin probably won’t suffice. Satechi’s new Mini Docking Station, however, definitely would.

Clad in a sleek aluminum shell, the hub should fit right in with the style-conscious aesthetics of modern computers, all while color-matching the Mac’s and iMac’s silver, gold, and space gray tones.  It’s a really nice-looking accessory that should find a great home in any computing desk, whether at home or in the office.

The Satechi Mini Docking Station isn’t designed for portable use, so it comes in slightly bigger dimensions than most hubs. For the size, though, it gives you plenty of versatility, putting an HDMI slot (so you can plug in a monitor), a DVI connection (for a second monitor), a quartet of USB 3.0 ports, a 3.5mm port for audio, and a gigabit Ethernet slot for a wired network connection. And, yes, the HDMI slot supports 4K video, so you can use it with that new 4K display you’ve had your eye on since last month.

It connects to the PC using a single USB slot, too, so you can turn that single port into a whole lot of connectivity options.  It works on both Windows and Macs.

Available now, the Satechi Mini Docking Station is priced at $149.99.
