If your laptop doesn’t have enough ports, you can fix that issue with Ugreen’s Revodok Max 208, an 8-in-1 Thunderbolt 4 dock that’s on sale for $169.98 ($80 off) at Amazon and from Ugreen. The Revodok Max 208 has four Thunderbolt 4 ports and a gigabit ethernet port on the back, and three USB-A ports on the front. The Thunderbolt 4 port designated for your computer carries 85W of power, so it’ll charge your laptop while it’s connected.
Using Ugreen’s hub will allow you to connect your computer to several accessories — including two 4K monitors — simultaneously without an adapter. Some Macs can only be connected to one 4K monitor at a time, and Ugreen has a handy chart on the Revodok Max 208’s Amazon page to let you know which models have that limitation. Windows users can connect their machine to a single 8K monitor if it has a Thunderbolt 3, Thunderbolt 4, or USB-C 4 port.
Some laptops have enough onboard ports to accommodate the accessories you use every day, but using Ugreen’s Thunderbolt 4 hub can still make using them more convenient. It’s easier to plug your laptop into a single device with one cable rather than having to manage which cords go where. Apple moved away from putting USB-A ports on its laptops years ago, so it’s especially convenient for MacBook users to have three of them easily accessible for older accessories.
- If you want a highly portable 1080p projector for trips or outdoor movie nights, Dangbei Atom is back to its all-time low of $598.99 ($301 off) at Amazon. The 1,200 lumen projector supports HDR10, has a pair of 5W speakers for stereo sound, and runs Google TV, which means it supports Netflix. The Atom is only 2.82 pounds and 1.87-inches thick, so you can easily carry it in a backpack. It’s not battery powered, so you’ll need an outlet to use the Atom, which can be a little tricky if you want to use it outside.
- GoPro’s Hero 13 Black Ultra Wide Edition can capture the highlights of your upcoming skiing or snowboarding season, and it’s $329.99 ($150 off) at Amazon. The camera can record 5.3K video at 60 frames per second and take 27 megapixel still photos. It has a 177 degree field of view that’s 36 percent taller and 48 percent taller than the standard Hero 13 Black Camera, so it can capture more of what’s happening in front of you. Your media is saved onto a microSD card, so you can easily transfer it onto a computer for editing.
- Ring’s latest Battery Doorbell Plus is one of the top picks in our guide, and you can get one in like-new condition for $71.99 (around $56 off) at Amazon. We were impressed with the doorbell cam’s recording quality, color night vision, and overall responsiveness when we went to check its live video feed. Its battery lasted about two months in our tests, and while people and package detection worked fine you’ll need an optional Ring Home plan (starting at $4.99 per month or $49.99 per year) for automatic animal and vehicle detection. Amazon certifies its like-new hardware has been certified to look and work like a brand new model, and it comes with the same limited warranty.
