If you got one of those 12-inch Macbooks with nothing but a single USB-C port, chances are, a multi-port USB hub is one of the first accessories you’re buying. If you’re looking for one that won’t look too out of place when plugged onto the side of your new port-averse laptop, this Satechi Type-C USB Hub should do the trick.

Clad in an aluminum shell with a slim profile, it should complement the Retina Macbook’s sleek unibody construction, making it look like a natural extension of the computer. It comes in the same gunmetal, silver, and gold finishes as Apple’s newest 12-inch laptop, too, so you can pick up one that totally matches whichever one you got.

When plugged into the lone port, the Satechi Type-C USB Hub gives you a trio of the familiar USB 3.0 ports you’ve been using all this time, along with an SD card slot and a microSD card slot. That way, you can plug in all the usual accessories that you use for both work and digital recreations, whether it’s an external hard drive, a MIDI controller, or a stupid USB toy that keeps you entertained during work hours. Even better, it should be compatible with any computer packing a USB Type-C slot, so you can use it with a new Windows laptop or a Chromebook, too. If there’s any glaring omission, it’s the lack of a USB Type-C pass through, which means you can’t charge your laptop while this thing is plugged in. With a battery rated at 10 hours of movie playback, though, maybe it won’t be much of a problem.
