Satechi Launches MagSafe-Ready OntheGo 7-in-1 Hub for USB-C Devices

The puck-sized adapter sells for $59.99 with early tests noting missing USB‑C data and analog audio.

Overview

  • Shipping now, the space black hub adds HDMI 4K/60Hz, two USB‑A (5Gbps), SD and microSD readers, Gigabit Ethernet, and a USB‑C Power Delivery passthrough port.
  • The magnetic base snaps to MagSafe and other Qi2-compatible phones, with a 3M adhesive ring included for laptops, tablets, and non‑MagSafe devices.
  • A coiled, braided USB‑C cable wraps around the puck for storage, creating a compact travel setup that avoids dangling dongles.
  • Compatibility spans iPhone, iPad, Mac, Windows PCs, Android devices, and ChromeOS, with reviewers highlighting workflows like SD‑to‑external‑drive transfers and wired Ethernet when Wi‑Fi falters.
  • The USB‑C port handles up to 100W passthrough charging but no data, and there is no 3.5mm audio jack, tradeoffs that balance the hub’s portability and $59.99 price on Satechi.net and Amazon.
