Modern laptops are thinner, lighter, and more portable than ever—a trend we’ve come to appreciate, especially when we’re constantly on the move. But that sleek design often comes at the cost of functionality, and the first thing to go is usually the number of available ports. Gone are the days when laptops came with a full spread of USB ports, HDMI, Ethernet, and more. Fortunately, regaining that lost connectivity doesn’t require a bulky docking station or a big investment. Right now, you can get the Anker 4-Port USB Hub for just $10 (down from $16), a great solution for anyone needing to connect multiple USB-A devices to a modern laptop.
This compact hub is available in both USB-C and USB-A input versions, making it highly versatile and suitable for almost any laptop you might have. Once connected, it transforms that single port into four high-speed USB-A ports, each supporting data transfer speeds of up to 5 Gbps. That makes it perfect for simultaneously using multiple flash drives, portable SSDs, or peripherals like keyboards, mice, and card readers. It’s especially handy for those with USB-C-only laptops who still rely on older USB-A gear—rather than buying multiple dongles, this one hub handles everything neatly in one place.
It’s worth noting that the hub doesn’t support power delivery—you won’t be able to charge your laptop through the ports while using the hub. That could be a limitation if your laptop only has a single port, but if you’ve got an extra port for charging, this hub is a compact and affordable way to expand your setup without compromise. It’s also ultra-portable, measuring just 0.4 inches thin and weighing almost nothing, so it slips into a backpack or laptop sleeve with ease and doesn’t add bulk to your gear.
Anker also offers two cable length options—0.7 feet and 2 feet, both available for just $10—so you can pick whichever suits your workspace or travel needs best. This deal is a fantastic opportunity to simplify your daily tech use and bring back the functionality that slimmer laptops left behind. But like many limited-time sales, this one might not stick around long, so don’t wait too long to grab it.
