Satechi is starting this year's CES strong with two expansion hubs aimed at the MacBook Pro to improve your workspace efficiency.
The new USB-4 Multiport Adapter with 8K HDMI is perfect for those who prefer multi-monitor setups. It boasts transfer rates of up to 40Gbps and is backward-compatible with USB 3.2 and Thunderbolt 3.
The 8K HDMI output features a 60Hz refresh rate, making it ideal for working, gaming, or streaming.
Additionally, it includes the following ports:
- Gigabit Ethernet
- USB-C PD charging
- Two 10Gbps USB-A 3.2 ports
- One USB-A 2.0 port
- SD card reader
- microSD card reader
The USB-4 Multiport Adapter with 8K HDMI will soon be available on Satechi's website and retail for $149.99. Those interested are encouraged to sign up for an email alert once available for purchase.
Satechi has also announced the upcoming release of the Pro Hub Max, an adapter designed for the new MacBook Pro models.
Designed to sit flush against your MacBook Pro, the Pro Hub Max is perfect for those looking to expand their device's capabilities by adding an abundance of useful ports, but without having an obvious dock accessory dominating the workspace. The extra expansion includes:
- 4K HDMI with 60Hz refresh rate
- Gigabit Ethernet
- USB-C PD charging
- 10Gbps USB-A data
- SD/microSD card readers
- 3.5mm audio
The Pro Hub Max will be available at Satechi's website soon, and will retail for $99.99.

Satechi make beautiful looking kit, but I find them a little bit less than reliable. Their wireless keyboard and mouse for example, did not last well, outdone by similar but cheaper Dell devices. Dell!
Overall specs look pretty good, but this article needs some clarification: for this device 8k is at 30hz, the 60hz is for lower resolution specs which might be more relevant for most activities, but that is not “ideal” for gaming. OK, but not really what you could get away with calling ideal.
also, what is a ”rugged design” form factor (as Satechi call it) doing with a non removable USB-4 cable?
