The design has a sleek brushed aluminum finish that matches perfectly with any of the aluminum finish Macs. The USB 3.0 ports allow users to transfer photos, music, and HD movies quickly to external USB 3.0 devices. They are backwards compatible with USB 2.0 and 1.1.  The low height of the Hub means it can fit under any stands that users may have in place to hold laptops.

This Hub has an MSRP of US$59.99, and it includes a one year warranty.

Using the Product

First of all, I like the way this Hub looks. It matches my other stuff.  I also like the fact that the different ports are labeled and one can read the labels without a magnifying glass. There is adequate space between the ports to assure a comfortable fit.

Labels are easy to read.

I have used this Hub for more than a month, trying it out with different devices including my external keyboard. It has given flawless service. The three charging ports are a great benefit. Not only can I charge an iPhone and two iPads at the same time, but I don’t have to charge those items in outlets all over the house. Nor do I have to use the remaining  USB port on my Mac. I keep those free for backing up my devices. 

Do I Recommend it?

I do. It is sleek, well designed, and well made. I have always found Satechi products to be worthwhile purchases. They do what they say they will do and they last. The seven USB 3.0 ports combined with the three charging ports make it a useful tool. The design makes it fun to display.
