Best Monitors for MacBook Pro (with USB-C) in 2018 Monitor Buying Guides By monitorboy Until Apple makes a stand-alone monitor option to replace the now-defunct Cinema Display monitor discontinued in 2014, finding an external monitor to increase the real estate of your MacBook Pro means heading out of the Apple universe. Best Overall: Sinstar USB-C Hub at Amazon, “The hub is slim and easy to carry and can be tossed into a bag without taking up too much space.” Best Budget: AUKEY USB-C Hub at Amazon, “Has both electromagnetic and electrostatic discharge protection to safeguard your devices.”.
I've been looking around but would love to have your recommendations based on what you've used.
The one I'm considering as my top choice right now is VAVA USB C Hub 8-in-1 Adapter, as it was suggested to be the best by Verge and Wirecutter. I don't know which is best myself as I mainly use a MacBook Pro that still has all the ports I need, and a MacBook as a travel laptop with Apple's dongle (which is way overpriced for the limited functions, so I won't be getting him that one).
Is there anything I'm missing, something to consider, tips, warnings, reccomendations?
