Satechi today announced the launch of the Aluminum Stand & Hub for iPad, which is designed to combine the portability of a tablet with the capabilities of a desktop in a unique foldable form factor.
There are six available ports in the Aluminum Stand & Hub, including a 4K HDMI port that supports up to 60Hz, a USB-C PD charging port, a USB-A data port, an SD card reader, a micro SD card reader, and an audio jack.
The Aluminum Stand & Hub is meant to elevate the iPad Pro off of a desk, turning it into a functional workstation with multiple viewing angle options. Attached to the stand, the iPad can be used as a main screen, a secondary screen, a drawing canvas, or a hub for FaceTiming friends and family.
Like all Satechi products, the Aluminum Stand & Hub has an aluminum design that's meant to match the aluminum of Apple devices for a streamlined desktop look. When not in use, it folds down for storage or for transport.
The Aluminum Stand & Hub for iPad can be purchased from the Satechi website or from Amazon.com for $99.99. Those purchasing directly from Satechi can get 20 percent off through June 6 by using promo code IPADPRO at checkout.

They have Apple Pencil support now? Wow, I completely missed that. How the heck do you write on the screen though? Seems like it would be extremely difficult.
AngerDanger was being funny. Neither the current MacBook Air or Pro have HDMI, USBA, SD, micro SD, a touchscreen or support for Apple Pencil.
I'm sure it will be welcome by some users. My favorite still is their Aluminum Desktop Stand, which is amazing! I like the fact it can be adjusted to almost every angle, so it's comfortable to use with the Apple Pencil to draw, signed documents or edit photos. [HEADING=2][/HEADING]
Biggest design overhaul since iOS 7 with Liquid Glass, plus new Apple Intelligence features and improvements to Messages, Phone, Safari, Shortcuts, and more. Developer beta available now ahead of public beta in July.
