USB Type-C has become more popular with the introduction of Apple’s MacBook and MacBook Pro laptops in recent years. Whereas each type of peripheral required a different port type, USB Type-C aims to simplify your life with one single port that handles data transfer tasks and charging all in one. USB Type-C has a new smaller reversible connector (i.e. it doesn’t matter how you plug it in) that closely looks like the size of a micro USB connector. USB Type-A is the standard connector we’re most used to. Even as transfer speeds have increased with generations of USB Type-A, the plug size and shape has remained constant. But devices are becoming smaller and thinner, requiring a different USB standard that has led to Type-C, which is a universal port and small in size. How to pick the best USB Type-C dongle for your MacBook and MacBook Pro There are quite literally hundreds of USB Type-C dongles and hubs on the market. Choosing the best USB Type-C device will come down to a few things. 1.) Design and build quality – Your bank account has a lot less money in it because of your recent Apple purchase. Your bank account may have even less, depending on the Type-C hub you choose. As with anything, you get what you pay for. Budget USB Type-C hubs will do the job just fine but the drawback is you’ll be left with a plastic model that doesn’t match the design and color of your MacBook or MacBook Pro. Premium hubs priced $50 and higher tend to fix that problem and include brushed metal finishes that closely match that of the standard Apple colors, including gold, rose gold, gray and space gray. 2.) Port options – Not all USB Type-C ubs are created alike. First, figure out your must have IO options (SD card, USB 3.0, Thunderbolt 3, pass through charging, etc.) and choose the dongle that fits that criteria. The Satechi 4K Slim Type-C hub has the most port options of the dongles I’ve seen, including micro SD and Thunderbolt 3, in addition to other standard ports.
