Along with that, you are getting two USB 3.0 ports, and two Thunderbolt 3.5K (USB Type-C) ports. The HDMI port found here for example is a 4K one, meaning that you can stream exquisite high-quality images to a larger display. The other thing we love about this hub is that it offers a significant amount of extra functionality and power. You can leave this plugged in and slip it into your bag, with no concern for it being knocked or tugged when you take it in and out. This is a USB hub that sits entirely flush to the device when plugged in, and that matches the aluminium color tone of the Macbook line perfectly. While the Air is a fantastic product still, it has certainly sacrificed a lot of functionality in exchange for its svelte looks.Īnd that’s the bizarre thing: because often adding a USB hub is going to ruin that clean aesthetic anyway! That’s why we were big fans of this Purgo dongle.
If you’ve made the switch to a Macbook Air, then you are no doubt starting to get to grips with the “dongle life.” That is to say that you’re learning what it is to be entirely reliant on dongles and accessories in order to access your basic functionality.
