TechBargains
Greetings, Arsians! Courtesy of our friends at TechBargains, we have another round of deals to share. Today’s list is headlined by a deal on Vava’s USB-C Hub, which is currently down to $24 with a 10 percent on-site coupon and the code “ANDROIDHUBS” at checkout. The 10 percent coupon only applies to the silver model, which is currently backordered by a few days, but the checkout code will still bring the gray model down to $30 if you don’t want to wait. Either way is a sizable discount from the hub’s usual $60 going rate.
Yes, the Dealmaster realizes this isn’t the most well-known company or product to feature. But we’re highlighting it here, because it’s currently our top recommendation among USB-C travel adapters. Ars’ Valentina Palladino has been testing a number of USB-C docks and hubs over the past several months, so you can
take a look at her buying guide for more detail.
The short version here is that, while a portable hub like this can never match the performance of a dedicated USB-C dock, Vava’s is still fast for what it is, and more importantly, it adds a number of ports that newer laptops might eschew on their own. The four-inch device includes a USB-C port, three USB-A ports, an HDMI port (which supports 4K at 30Hz or 1080p at 60Hz), SD and microSD card slots, and a gigabit Ethernet port. It can get a bit hot when it’s in use, like most devices of this type, but for quick fixes or those times on the road when you need more connectors, it’s an excellent value at this price.
If you’re content with your PC’s port situation, though, we also have deals on PlayStation Plus subscriptions, 4K HDR TVs, iPads, and more. Have a look for yourself below.
