▼ Summary

– Satechi has released a new 7-in-1 multiport adapter that magnetically attaches to smartphones and laptops but does not function as a wireless charger.
– The OntheGo adapter is available now for $59.99 in space black and connects via a short integrated USB-C cable that wraps around the hub.
– It includes seven ports: a 4K/60Hz HDMI port, SD and microSD card readers, gigabit ethernet, two USB-A 3.2 Gen 1 ports, and a USB-C port with 100W passthrough power delivery.
– The adapter magnetically attaches to Qi2-compatible smartphones like MagSafe iPhones and Google Pixel 10 Series with Pixelsnap.
– For non-Qi2 devices like laptops or older phones, Satechi provides an adhesive magnetic ring to enable mounting.

For those seeking to expand their device’s connectivity without the clutter of traditional hubs, Satechi’s new On-the-Go 7-in-1 Multiport Adapter presents a sleek, magnetic solution. Resembling a compact hockey puck, this accessory attaches directly to smartphones and laptops using a built-in magnetic ring, though it does not function as a wireless charger. Available now from Satechi’s online store for $59.99 in a space black finish, the hub connects via a short, integrated USB-C cable that conveniently wraps around the unit when not in use.

The adapter consolidates seven essential ports into one portable device. Users gain access to a 4K/60Hz HDMI port for high-definition video output, alongside both SD and microSD card readers capable of handling memory cards with capacities up to 2TB. For stable, high-speed internet, a gigabit ethernet port is included. The hub also provides two USB-A 3.2 Gen 1 ports for connecting peripherals and a USB-C port featuring up to 100W of passthrough power delivery, ensuring your primary device remains charged while the adapter is in use.

A key feature is its magnetic attachment system. The adapter naturally clings to the back of modern smartphones that support the Qi2 wireless charging standard, such as MagSafe-compatible iPhones and Google’s Pixel 10 Series with Pixelsnap. To accommodate devices without this built-in compatibility, including many laptops and older phone models, Satechi provides an adhesive magnetic ring. This allows you to securely mount the multiport hub onto virtually any surface, making it a versatile tool for a wide range of electronics.
