Available in either Space Grey or Silver, the Satechi USB-C Pro Hub with Ethernet & 4K HDMI is indeed the Swiss Army Knife of adapters as it gives users access to a plethora of additional ports on either your Macbook. Furthermore, it boasts a sleek and stylish aluminum design that would not look out of place in any home, office or anywhere on the road and best of all, it’s quite compact and lightweight.

When it comes to installation, the Satechi USB-C Pro Hub with Ethernet & 4K HDMI simply plugs into your spare 2 USB-C ports on your MacBook! We tested this on our 2019 MacBook Pro that simply connected into the 2 USB-C ports and we were ready to go with all the above mentioned ports available. Best of all this, this product does not require any additional mains power and is powered by your computer. The Apple O/S also had no issues in displaying these ports for the user or using them with a variety of accessories.
Final Thoughts?
The Satechi USB-C Pro Hub with Ethernet & 4K HDMI is a well designed adapter that cannot be faulted in terms of design and its plug-n-play nature which is perfect. All in all, a very valuable addition to either your MacBook as is affordably priced at just $99AUD (Sep 2021).
