It’s an ugly truth of using modern computers: The rush toward thinner and lighter designs has meant sacrificing the number and types of ports on everything from MacBooks to all-in-one desktops. If you want to plug in anything with a connection other than a USB-C cable, the most efficient option is a USB-C hub, which provides multiple types of ports in a relatively compact package. Our favorite hub is Anker’s PowerExpand 8-in-1 USB-C PD 10Gbps Data Hub. In addition to having all the right ports, it’s one of the very few hubs with an HDMI port that supports a proper 60 Hz refresh rate on 4K monitors so that animations and movements on screen are nice and smooth—almost every other hub maxes out at 30 Hz, which results in a frustratingly laggy experience.

Anker PowerExpand 8-in-1 USB-C PD 10Gbps Data Hub, the best usb-c hub

Anker PowerExpand 8-in-1 USB-C PD 10Gbps Data Hub

The best USB-C hub
This portable hub supports 4K monitors at 60 Hz over HDMI and has every other port you’re likely to need, all of which performed at expected rates in our tests.
We recommend
Anker PowerExpand+ 7-in-1 USB-C PD Media Hub, a great array of data ports at a lower price

Anker PowerExpand+ 7-in-1 USB-C PD Media Hub

A great array of data ports at a lower price
This hub has most of the same ports as our top pick, although they’re mostly a little slower. It lacks Ethernet, and it’s not as good with a 4K monitor, but the price is much lower, making it a good choice if you don’t need a wired internet connection or smooth, high-res video.
Budget friendly
Satechi 4-Port USB-C Hub, more usb-c ports

Satechi 4-Port USB-C Hub

More USB-C ports
Satechi’s hub is the only one that transforms one USB-C port into four. But with middling transfer speeds and no support for video or charging, it is best for accessories like keyboards, mice, and backup drives.
Another good choice
Anker 10-Port 60W USB 3.0 Hub, the most ports

Anker 10-Port 60W USB 3.0 Hub

The most ports
If you need to plug a lot of accessories into the older-standard USB-A port, this hub from Anker is a better choice. It has seven USB 3.1 Gen 1 data ports and three high-speed charging ports facing upward, so cables and plugs take up less room on your desk.
