A hub that is also an organizer
The versatility and performance of laptops have prompted many users to use them as the main tool when working, which translates into the need for connect a good number of peripherals. From a monitor to external storage.
In this type of scenario, hubs are presented as a good alternative to make the most of our laptop’s connections, and the manufacturers know it. Microsoft, for example, recently released the Microsoft Audio Dock, a flashy hub/speaker hybrid.
Anker has just introduced Anker 67, a 12 port hub which, as we mentioned above, is more than a hub. Its design allows you to organize cables and the workspace in general in a very effective way.
The lower space can be used, for example, to store the keyboard, mouse or other peripherals that are being used. The possibility of raising the monitor is also interesting for all those users who spend many hours in front of the computer.
If we talk about ports, as we can see in the data sheet, the dock has a USB-C port up to 100W to charge your computer laptop, USB-A ports, 2 USB-C ports, SD and microSD card slots. It also highlights a wireless charging pad, an Ethernet port, and a 4k HDMI port.
