5 USB-C accessories to help upgrade your digital life, all on sale
You want thingamabobs? We’ve got five, and they’re all designed to make your life a whole lot easier if you’re using a device equipped with USB-C compatibility. (We’re fresh out of whozits and whatzits, though. Sorry.)
Whether you’re in the market for a powerful new charger or a more durable cable, you’d be hard-pressed to find better deals on USB-C accessories than the ones that just went up in the Mashable Shop. Here’s the lowdown:
With a lightweight yet brawny 100W / 27000mAh battery that can charge basically any device to completion, the AlsterPlus is the world’s most powerful battery pack with its own USB charging hub. That hub features two USB-C ports and two USB-A ports that allow you to charge multiple devices simultaneously — even two MacBook Pros! — and quickly. Plus, all of these ports incorporate power-sharing technology to automatically divert power to the device that needs it most for ultra-efficient charging.
Get the AlsterPlus today for only $179, a 30% discount on its original retail price of $258.
No matter where you are — home, abroad, Timbuktu — you’ll be able to juice up all of your laptops, smartphones, and game consoles with the Omnia P5 Wall Charger. It provides fast, high-wattage charging for USB-C and USB-A devices, and also supports Power Delivery (PD3.0) and Qualcomm Quick Charge (QC3.0) technologies for even speedier charging.
As an added perk, each Omnia P5 comes with interchangeable plugs for UK, AU, and EU outlets to ensure your gadgets stay energized during all your global voyages. (You jet-setter, you.)
A $59 value, you can score an Omnia P5 for just $44.99 — a 23% savings.
Want a flimsy cable that’ll fray in mere days? Well, this one isn’t for you.
Billed as a cross-device charging cable, the ANCHOR features a magnetic tip that lets you easily swap out USB-C, Lightning, or MicroUSB (USB-C included) connectors so you can use it to charge both Android and Apple devices. And since it’s constructed from such strong materials (i.e., a stainless steel casing and copper core interior), it should have no problem holding up with daily wear and tear.
Valued at $29, Mashable readers can pick up an ANCHOR cable for just $17.95 — a savings of nearly 40%.
Salty about the fact that your MacBook Pro only has two ports? Give this USB-C hub a try. It’s got six — count ’em, SIX — different ports on it, including two USB-C, two USB-A 3.0, an SD, and a microSD port for improved flexibility. Whether you want to charge other devices or send out 5K video, this device can totally make it happen.
The 6-in-1 USB-C Hub normally retails for $159.95, but for a limited time, you can pick one up for only $39.99 — a 74% savings.
Want to view your laptop or smartphone’s display on an even bigger screen? Just use this Choetech cable to seamlessly connect your USB-C devices to your TV or monitor for a crystal-clear picture in high-quality resolution. Your content will stay consistently connected thanks to the cord’s gold-plated connector (fancy!), and its six feet of length make for flexible, convenient use.
The Choetech usually retails for $17.99, but you can save 5% and pay only $16.99 when you buy it in the Mashable Shop.
