Seven ports, 4K HDMI at 60Hz, 85W pass-through charging, SD and TF card slots, and the Anker name behind it, all for the price of a coffee and a pastry. The Anker 7-in-1 USB-C Hub is down to $18, off its $25 list price and at its all-time low on Amazon. This is a Prime Day deal, and membership is the price of admission, though the 30-day trial gets you in without pulling out a card.

Seven ports that cover everything a laptop is missing
A single USB-C port on a modern laptop covers charging and data but nothing else without an adapter. The Anker 7-in-1 expands that into two USB-A 3.0 ports at 5Gbps for external drives and peripherals, one USB-C data port at 5Gbps, a 4K@60Hz HDMI output for an external monitor or projector, a USB-C PD input that passes through up to 85W for simultaneous laptop charging, a full-size SD card slot, and a TF microSD slot. That covers the full range of daily laptop needs, from connecting a mouse and keyboard to dumping a camera card to running a presentation on an external display, from a single adapter the size of a USB stick.
The 4K@60Hz HDMI output handles the resolution and refresh rate that modern monitors expect without the 30Hz limitation that cheaper hubs impose at 4K, and the 85W pass-through keeps a MacBook Air or a mid-range Windows laptop charging while all seven ports are in use simultaneously. The 5Gbps data rate on the USB ports transfers a 1GB file in under two seconds, which is 10 times faster than USB 2.0 speed that still appears on lower-tier hubs at this price.
