Feel like your laptop doesn’t have enough ports? Then the Anker 553 USB-C Hub is just what the doctor ordered. And since orders must be respected, you should place yours as soon as possible because this hub is down to $50 right now (from its usual $70).

The Anker 553 plugs into one port but provides eight more. The only caveat is that you have to plug the hub itself into a USB-C port. Here’s what $50 will get you:

1 x USB-C port

2 x USB-A data ports

2 x HDMI ports

1 x Ethernet port

1 x microSD card reader

1 x SD card reader

The dual HDMI display capability is one of the coolest things about this model, making it possible to stream content to one display at 4K@60Hz or connect two displays at 4K@30Hz.

You can also use this hub to charge your devices. The USB-C port supports Power Delivery, providing high-speed pass-through charging up to 85W. (Note: A 100W PD wall charger is needed for this, and Anker says this hub isn’t suitable for pass-through charging of mobile devices.)

The Anker 553 is pretty small, considering all that it can do. Measuring just 4.65 x 2.17 inches and weighing less than 4 ounces, the Anker 553 fits easily into any bag and serves as the perfect accessory for when you’re working on the go (like at a coffee shop).

For just $50, you can expand the capabilities of your laptop in ways you didn’t think you could. Make your life easier with the Anker 553 USB-C Hub and don’t look back.
