MacBook owners looking for a way to restore missing ports on their laptop may be interested in a new MacBook Thunderbolt 3 Hub, created by the development team at MadHub. This innovative hub, named the OmniHub, aims to address the common issue faced by many MacBook users who find themselves lacking essential ports due to the minimalist design of modern laptops.
The OmniHub has this week taken to Kickstarter to raise funds to make the jump into production and is available to back with earlybird pledges starting from $33. Shipping is expected to take place during December 2017, making it a timely holiday gift for tech enthusiasts.
Features and Benefits of the OmniHub
The OmniHub has been designed to provide users with the world’s first “modular adapter system” and has been specifically designed for the new MacBook Pro. This modularity means that users can customize their hub to fit their specific needs, adding or removing modules as necessary. This flexibility is particularly useful for professionals who require different types of ports for various tasks.
– The OmniHub basic bundle provides 7 ports (HDMI, USB 3.1 x 2, micro SD, SD, USB-C, Thunderbolt 3 with 100W Power Delivery).
– SurfHub is the 1st hub in the world to utilize the miniDP and USB3.0 port on Surface Pro/Laptop to deliver 30Gb/s bandwidth across 6 ports (HDMI, USB 3.1 x 2, micro SD, SD, mini DP).
The basic bundle of the OmniHub includes seven essential ports, making it a comprehensive solution for most users. The HDMI port allows for easy connection to external displays, which is ideal for presentations or extended desktop setups. The USB 3.1 ports ensure fast data transfer speeds, while the micro SD and SD card slots are perfect for photographers and videographers who need to quickly offload media from their cameras. The USB-C and Thunderbolt 3 ports not only provide additional connectivity options but also support 100W Power Delivery, ensuring that your MacBook stays charged while using the hub.
Why Choose OmniHub?
One of the standout features of the OmniHub is its modularity. Unlike traditional hubs that come with a fixed set of ports, the OmniHub allows users to customize their setup. This means you can add or remove modules based on your current needs, making it a versatile tool for both personal and professional use. For instance, if you need more USB ports for a particular project, you can easily add a module with additional USB ports.
Another significant advantage is the SurfHub, which is the first hub in the world to utilize the miniDP and USB 3.0 port on Surface Pro/Laptop to deliver 30Gb/s bandwidth across six ports. This makes it an excellent choice for Surface Pro users who need a high-speed, multi-port solution.
