The latest-generation PCs and laptops deliver the required speed for prosumers but are often devoid of older ports, which is something the Microsoft USB-C Travel Hub is engineered to change. The hub is designed to work with any system that has a USB-C port and will immediately transform the single port into six connectivity capabilities. This includes adding in a VGA port, USB-A, HDMI, Ethernet, USB-C and even a 3.5mm headphone jack to let users keep using their existing range of peripherals without having to upgrade everything they have in their technology roster.
The Microsoft USB-C Travel Hub is priced at $100, weighs in at just 3.5 ounces to make it inherently ready for travel and will be available for purchase soon.
