Although an extra USB-C cable would have been a nice addition to this product, it's still provides great value for the price. This is the one that does it all, from pass-through charging to reliable Ethernet and HDMI connections. Since I've had this hub on my desk, I haven't had to reach for any other dongle.

Simplify your workflow with this one stop shop for ports. Especially for those that work at at home and don't have access to an office supply of dongles, hubs, and connectors. If you find yourself reaching for a different dongle every time you need to connect anything to your MacBook, then this hub is for you. The same is true for those who own the ultra-minimal MacBook Air, which has always been light on ports as well. In my opinion, anyone with a MacBook Pro built between 20 needs a hub like this. You don't want to buy an additional USB-C cable for charging.You lament the lack of ports on your MacBook.Baseus 8-in-1 Hub: Should you buy it?īaseus 8 In 1 Usb C Hub Docking Station (Image credit: Jaclyn Kilani / iMore) You should buy this if. It's up to you to decide if it's worth the price difference. Since this unit does come with the additional charging cable, it has an added value over the Baseus Hub, but it's also a full $60 more expensive. Out reviewer enjoyed the convenient cord storage on the StayGo, and the extra-long USB-C cable that is included for charging. Despite the fact that it does not have an Ethernet port like the Baseus hub, it's $20 more expensive, so I prefer the Baseus, personally.Īnother similar option is the Twelve South StayGo that offers the same combo of eight ports that you find on the Baseus Hub. This one is interesting in that it plugs directly into the MacBook, so it feels more streamlined. We have previously reviewed the Anker PowerExpand 7-in-2 USB-C Adapter, which plugs directly into the MacBook's two USB-C connectors and provides an additional seven ports to work with. There are plenty of hubs, dongles, and docking stations that are made to work with MacBooks, although few of them have the full suite of eight ports. Staygo Usb C Hub Hero (Image credit: iMore)
