The Satechi Pro Hub Slim is a connectivity solution for Apple MacBook Air users to incorporate onto the latest model with the M2 chip to keep essential peripherals functional. The hub comes in three colors including Silver, Space Gray and Midnight, and fits neatly onto the side of the MacBook Air to expand the two Thunderbolt 4 ports. Users can then enjoy pass-through charging via one of the two USB-C ports, while also enabling them to connect to older devices thanks to USB-A ports, an HDMI port or their memory cards through the SD and microSD slots.
The Satechi Pro Hub Slim is rated to support up to 6K/60Hz video output, 40Gbps of data transfer and up to 100W of power delivery.
