I wonder if the compensation for small and lightweight.
In recent slim PCs, the extended terminal is only USB-C and the number is quite large.Even in the M1 version of the M1 version of the M1 version released the other day, there are only two USB-C on the higher model, and there are only two lower models.It is also thought that it will be USB-C "only", it is better to have a USB-A, it is convenient with an SD card slot, and it is important for those who want to connect the external display on the HDMI terminal.
That's where the USB hub and docking station come in.You can increase various terminals simply by connecting with one USB-C cable.
There are a variety of USB hubs and docking stations in a bite, but Anker products are quite good.Two models were announced at the new product presentation the other day.
Luxurious dock with 15 terminals
"PowerExpand Elite 12-In-1 Thunderbolt 4 Dock" is Thunderbolt 4 (upstream) x 1, Thunderbolt 4 (downstream) x 1, USB-C x 1, USB-A 3.1x2, USB-A 2.0 × 2, HDMI × 2, audio terminal × 1, SD card slot × 1, Gigabit Ethernet terminal × 1.It also supports 8K output of video.The price is 34,990 yen, which will be released around the fall of 2021.
There are four Thunderbolt terminals!
"PowerExpand 5-In-1 Thunderbolt 4 Mini Dock" is Thunderbolt 4 (upstream) x 1, Thunderbolt 4 (Down Station) x 3, USB-A 3.It has a 1x1 configuration.It is encouraging that there are four Thunderbolt 4 terminals.This also supports 8K output.The price is 22,990 yen and will be released around the fall of 2021.
This kind of dock may be a necessity because the extended terminals are decreasing.This product of Anker has a very high texture.It looks like a zero -hari attache case (it looks), so it seems to satisfy you.
