Review: Twelve South StayGo USB-C hub

Essential conductor offers various ports 5/5

Apple accessories designer Twelve South are renowned for producing innovative products and it has certainly produced another with the StayGo USB-C hub. 

The StayGo hub is essential for any organised desk and prevents messy cables protruding from MacBooks and iPads with various ports which include: 4K HDMI, Gigabit Ethernet, USB-A 3.0 (x3), Independent SD + Micro-SD card slots and 85W USB-C pass-through power. 

It boasts a one-metre cable and comes packed with an additional travel cable which allows for mobile working.

Boasting all the ports that a user needs, the StayGo connects various peripherals to a MacBook or an iPad. 

Newer MacBook’s do not offer HDMI slots and I used the StayGo primarily as a conductor from my MacBook to my TV although it offers so much more including ethernet connecting capabilities for gamers. 

There really isn’t anything to criticise with regards to the StayGo as it offers everything that it claims to and is perhaps the most valuable new addition I have made to my desk in this pandemic/working from home period. 

It can best be described as a product you didn’t know you needed but now you cannot go without. 

The Twelve South StayGo USB-C hub is available on Amazon UK for £99.99.
