Samsung Unpacked — how to watch and what to expect
This $6 USB-C hub adds four USB ports to your laptop at a discount
By Alex Smith
It seems silly that we're nearly in 2020 and it's more of a struggle to connect multiple devices to your computer now than it has been in years. Everything needs to be plugged in and your computer probably doesn't have enough ports to handle it all. You don't have to replace your peripherals with new gadgets that can connect wirelessly.
Instead, invest $6 into this Hootoo 4-Port USB Hub (opens in new tab) and do more with the space you already have. It typically costs up to $20, but applying coupon code XCKTGLI7 during checkout will drop your total to $5.99 at Amazon. That's on par for the best deal we've seen for this hub. It hasn't gone on sale very often since it was first released, either. You can use Amazon Prime (opens in new tab) or spend at least $25 to avoid shipping fees.
Turn one USB-C port into four USB-A ports with this sleek and inexpensive hub. It's ready out of the box and features positive reviews as well as the best price we've seen yet. Use the coupon code to save.

Add a lot more functionality to any laptop with a USB-C port. Turns that one USB-C into a 4K HDMI port, three USB 3.0 ports, an SD card reader, and a 100W PD charging port. Compatible with Windows, Mac, Unix, Chromebook, and almost all USB-C devices.
This slim USB hub turns a single USB-C port into four USB-A ports. It supports data transfers, too, with speeds up to 5Gbps. That's fast enough to transfer an HD movie in just a few seconds. The solid aluminum alloy housing helps dissipate heat, which is a nice bonus since adapters like these have a reputation for heating up quickly and cooling down slowly. It has a slim and lightweight footprint, so it won't take up too much room on your desk either. There are just under 200 customer reviews for the product at Amazon, and overall they're positive so far, giving the hub 4.3 out of 5 stars (opens in new tab) on average.
A hub like this provides spaces for your phone charger, Bluetooth mouse receivers, flash drives, and much more. It's important to note that it connects via USB-C, though, so not all laptops are going to be compatible with it.
Shipping at Amazon is free on orders totaling $25 or more, or with an Amazon Prime membership. If you've never been a member before, you can start a free 30-day trial (opens in new tab) to score free two-day shipping with no order minimum, along with access to the Prime Video streaming service, exclusive members-only discounts, and more.
