Mobee Magic Hub

What is it? If you charge a lot of devices from your iMac, this could be a big help. The Magic Hub sits on the back of your iMac’s stand, slotting into the round hole designed for passing the power cable through. The hub itself actually then plugs into your iMac’s power socket, with the mains plug then plugging into the hub instead. This enables the hub to pass power to your iMac, but also siphon some off for the four USB charging ports it offers, meaning that you can charge even iPads quickly at your desk. When’s it due? By the end of October. Why are we excited? Not everyone will find this that useful (especially those that don’t own an iMac…), but having four powered USB ports really is hugely useful if you have a lot of things to charge – and the design is really clever.
