Add Ethernet and three USB connectors to your computer's USB-C port with VAVA's 4-in-1 hub down to $7

USB-C is great, except when it's not. While we may be going all-cloud for our files and media and all-USB-C for our peripherals, we're not quite there just yet. For the few times when you need to hook up a legacy device, grab an affordable USB-C hub to make your life much easier. This 4-in-1 hub from VAVA is down to just $6.99 right now at Amazon. It regularly goes for $20, so it's a no-brainer pick up even if you only use it once in a blue moon.

The hub turns one USB-C port on your laptop or desktop machine into three USB-A connectors as well as an RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet port. It's great to have in your laptop bag for those times where you need to quickly transfer some files or get connected to Ethernet if the Wi-Fi isn't great. The USB ports are all USB 3.0 so offer speedy data transfers and the Gigabit Ethernet port offers a strong and stable connection. The hub is compatible with Mac and PC with no additional drivers needed, just plug and play. It also works with mobile devices provided they have USB On-The-Go support.

Existing owners like this USB-C hub, giving it an average rating of 4.1 out of 5 stars. VAVA also backs it up with an 18-month warranty.
