You can certainly use a charger at lower power, but remember that it will power up slower than when using a higher-wattage charger, and if too low your laptop might run out of juice altogether when maxed out on power-hungry apps and devices. 12in MacBook and MacBook Air charge at 30W the 13in and 14in MacBook Pro at 67W, the 15in MacBook Pro at 87W and the 16in MacBook Pro at 96W. Lower wattage chargers are fine but will limit the hub’s charging potential.Ĭheck the Power Delivery (PD) charging power each hub or adapter offers connected laptops or iPads. Most don’t ship with a charger, so you’ll need to add your own, and remember that it needs to be a 100W charger to give 85W and above charging if offered by the hub. Look for hubs that offer passthrough charging, so you can charge your laptop even though you are using up one of the laptop’s USB-C ports for the hub itself. Card readers come at different speeds: UHS-I at 104Mbps, and UHS-II at 312Mbps although some are slower at 60Mbps. Other ports to look for include Gigabit Ethernet for faster wired Internet access (without the flakiness of Wi-Fi), and an SD or microSD card reader for adding inexpensive portable storage to your system.
To fast-charge an iPhone, you need a minimum of 18W and USB-C, so look for extra USB-C slots, which are more capable than USB-A. The company expects to ship by May if it can raise the $20,000 it needs through the crowd funding campaign.If your smartphone is compatible, you can charge your phone up to 80% in just 35 minutes. Preorders for the base model are currently at $99 on Indiegogo, while the model with the Bluetooth audio jack will cost you can extra $30. While a regular standalone USB would get the job done, the CableCore Hub’s bead blasted aluminium base and black polymer top match the iMac perfectly and the design does away with extra desk clutter you get with your average USB hub. It’s powered from one of the USB ports on the back of your iMac, but can also provide high speed charging to all its ports by using a separate power adapter. A slightly more expensive version will also include a Bluetooth connected 3.5mm audio jack. The idea is simple enough: rather than having to climb on top of your desk and awkwardly fumble with plugging cables into the back of your iMac, the CableCore hub attaches to the base of iMac and brings 3 USB 3.0 ports and an SDXC card slot within arm’s reach. During the ShowStoppers press event this week at CES, iCoreGear, a small team of designers and engineers currently raising funds on Indiegogo, showed off a new product called the CableCore Hub for iMac.
