Anker is known for its charging accessories, but it's also one of the go-to brands for USB-C hubs. If you've ever found yourself short of USB ports or in need of a way to connect other peripherals, Anker has a USB-C hub option for you. And now, you can get them all on sale at Amazon. 

Before you buy a hub, you need to consider its form factor, what ports you need, and whether you need the hub to have its own power. Some of the hubs here only add USB-A ports, while others include USB-C, HDMI, and memory card slots. The one common point among these five options is that they all connect to your computer via USB-C.

For example, Amazon is offering the versatile yet compact Anker PowerExpand 11-in-1 USB-C PD hub for $56, that's 20% off its typical price. This hub has USB-C and USB-A ports, plus Ethernet, HDMI, and memory card slots.
