Review on Verbatim 3 Port Gigabit Ethernet Delivery by Michael Moulton

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Cheapest hub I found

If you have a new Mac, you need a power hub. Newer Macs - I have a 13-inch MacBook Pro - need a hub to connect USB-A devices (which we're all used to) to the computer. At first, Apple's marketing annoyed me. Gimmick, but quickly discovered that by using a loop-through hub that plugs directly into the computer, I don't have to buy a new Mac power adapter every six months (the wires in the Mac cable inevitably break). if you use your laptop as a laptop and like me you carry it with you all the time. A new power supply and cable cost almost $100 each. That was the only thing I hated about the Mac.) Not anymore. Now the cable just plugs into the hub - no bending or fraying - and the hub connects to the computer. Verbatim's value-for-money offering gives me 2 USB-A ports - I charge my Android in one and either my favorite USB fan in the other, or my external hard drive if I want backups. There's also a USB-C Connection to transfer data between USB-C devices (or to charge a new iPhone) and one for power supply. The hub performs like a champ and offers the best value for money I've seen. Others cost twice as much. I was going to give this four stars because I really like having an ethernet port, but I've found that I rarely need it and this little hub is absolutely perfect for those on a tight budget. Verbatim is a good brand and will serve you well.
