Aesthetics
We get it. You’re looking for a solution to the problem of low port options, so the aesthetics of your new USB-C 4 ports usb 3.0 hub design aren’t really important. But wait a second. This device is going to be sitting on your desk all day long. It needs to look the part!
If you’ve searched around and seen the options available already, you’ll have noticed that the lower the price tag, the chunkier and more box-like the design tends to be. You’ll have to spend more than $30 for a USB-C 4 ports usb 3.0 hub that doesn’t stick out like a sore thumb.
Designs typically tend to be rectangular, but some companies offer square or circular options. However with a circular design, some of your cables could point in the opposite direction of where you want them to go, so the standard rectangle is probably your safest bet. See! Design is important!
Materials
Don’t forget about the material, too. This will determine how your USB-C 4 ports usb 3.0 hub looks and feels. Generally, lower-end products will be made of cheaper plastic. On the other hand, the more expensive metallic options come with an added bonus: your USB-C 4 ports usb 3.0 hub will be sturdy and sleek.
If you go for a cheaper USB-C 4 ports usb 3.0 hub, you might end up with a product that feels tacky and underwhelming. In the short term, this probably won’t impact performance. But with longer-term use, less expensive products are more likely to break down and will set you back, even more, when it comes to replacing them.
The aluminum can also play an important role in heat dissipation. USB-C 4 ports usb 3.0 hubs need to go through extensive temperature testing to make sure they stay cool while connecting all of your devices. Cheaper materials have a tendency to overheat, putting your 4 ports usb 3.0 hub and your new iPad Pro 2021 at risk.
