If there's any criticism of the new MacBook Pro from the usually excellent Apple, it's the who idea of having just two USB-C ports (four on the more expensive Touch Bar model) on it.
What this has meant for users is that they have been forced to rely on expensive and clunky dongles to connect an external hard drive, access an SD card or even charge their iPhone.
Well, there's now a solution for this as a new product called the HyperDrive has been introduced to save our collective hides. What the HyperDrive does is to add a variety useful ports to the MacBook Pro, including both an SD and microSD card slot, HDMI output and two USB 3.1 ports. Aside from an Ethernet port, the HyperDrive restores virtually all of the ports found on the previous MacBook Pro from 2015.
Interested? Well the HyperDrive is available through a Kickstarter campaign. The hub is priced at $100, but is being offered to Kickstarter backers for $70. It works with both the 13-inch and 15-inch 2016 MacBook models, and is offered in either space gray or silver. The campaign ends on January 16, 2017. The company has said it plans to begin shipping the HyperDrive in February so get going will ya.
