Early-bird funders can get the hub for $49, and those shipments should begin in January.
#Apple usb c hub for mac pro#
The Silicon Valley company set a $100,000 goal for its iPad Pro USB-C hub. Sanho has a good track record on Kickstarter, funding 15 projects and raising $7 million. But if you want to get as much as you can out of your iPad Pro, Sanho put its hub on sale Monday at Kickstarter. It's not for everybody - and the market already is limited by the steep price of a $799 11-inch iPad Pro or $999 12.9-inch model, not to mention Apple's $179 or $199 Keyboard Folio Case that the tablet productivity crowd also likely will want. The Sanho HyperDrive USB-C Hub attaches to an iPad Pro's USB-C port. It takes as much advantage of the USB-C port as Apple allows, letting you plug in 3.5mm audio devices, HDMI monitors and TVs, regular and micro SD memory cards, your charger and other USB-C devices, and accessories like Ethernet adapters that use the old-style rectangular USB-A connector that's been a fixture on laptops for decades.
We won't know for months or years how closely together Apple plans to bring Macs and iPads, but the USB-C hub moves the convergence ahead by about a year. The $99 dongle transformed my iPad Pro suddenly into something a lot more like a traditional laptop. I've been putting Sanho's HyperDrive USB-C Hub for the 2018 iPad Pro through its paces, trying this six-port dock that plugs into the USB-C port in Apple's newest iPad Pro models.Īnd it works. With a chunk of electronics fitted to the side of my iPad Pro, I have glimpsed the future of computing.
