Even if you own one of Apple's best portable Macs you're probably dealing with the same issue — they just don't seem to have enough ports. Sure, they've gotten better in recent years but they don't have HDMI or some of the other ports that people find that they need whether they are at their desk or on the move. For those people, a great USB-C hub is essential. And Satechi has announced a new one that everyone should definitely check out.Despite the rather unwieldy name (USB-C Multiport Adapter 8K with Ethernet V3) this…

It's true that there are a dizzying number of keyboards available on the market today. There are Mac keyboards from all the usual brands including Logitech and of course Apple, but then there is the world of mechanical keyboards from brands that some might never have heard from.

But you also want it to be easily transported while offering a maximum power output that can readily charge even the most power-hungry 16-inch MacBook Pro. It wouldn't hurt if it actually looked cool, either.Satechi has made a name for itself producing accessories that look good thanks…

When Apple announced the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro families of devices it also confirmed that they would come with support for Qi2, a new wireless charging standard. That charging standard is based on MagSafe, so it was no surprise. But the move to Qi2 means that accessory makers don't have to license Apple's MagSafe technology to be able to offer the same features — fast wireless charging and magnetic connectivity.That's great news for people who have been put off by the high price of MagSafe-certified wireless…
