Hubs expand the number of ports on your device to connect and charge another peripheral, and they work like power strips for your computer.
Some laptops only have USB-C connections—which means a USB-C hub is essential if you want to connect a wired USB-A mouse or keyboard or an older wired printer. Of course, it's also a handy way to add an HDMI connection, an SD card reader, or simply more USB ports for storage.
A USB-C hub or docking station can save you from constantly swapping dongles and relying on Bluetooth. A multiport adapter or powered USB hub has way more to offer than an extra USB port -- it can turn a single USB-C connection on your laptop or desktop into the hook up for a monitor, keyboard, mouse, and Ethernet. It can also let you read and write to memory cards or other external drives.
